I wish a prompt recovery to everyone. Just had my surgery done after falling off my skateboard. Can’t wait to get back to my yoga, volleyball, kickboxing and especially guitar. I had no idea that my wrist was so important
@@rthjgfvjy8183 that's really sad.breaking your wrist or other parts of your bones makes you question yourself and it'll made you anxious and discouraged. That's what happened to me i kinda get some trauma.
@@witzicall4y Yea i feel bad for him and he was saying its okay people get hurt. But i was still like you broke your wrist its not okay but i hope you heal fast
I had surgery a week ago on my left wrist (fractured distal radius)… I am at least thankful to God it is a work related injury otherwise my whole life will have been a total misery…Cause I can’t afford all the medical expenses in 🇺🇸and lost wage… The healing process is tough but I am determined to go through it.
It's been 5 months now. My friend broke my wrist by dropping himself on me while I was laying on bed. I was shocked and as soon as I realise he dropping himself backwards immediately I used my two hands to hold him however my left hand wrist was slipped and broken due to his weight . It's not a joke going through this hardship months , I lost my job , spent 11k USD for my wrist surgery in Taiwan hospital. I was told to do surgery for the best result 1 hardware with 7 screws . However after surgery I experienced pains and can't move my left wrist , hard to take shower alone and eat especially if you're Seafarer life at sea is totally different and it's challenging with cold weathers and rough sea . However I was on medical leave for a month and my company sent me home safely. Once I arrived home , my mom is my everything she took care of Me. She bath me , cook me food ❤️. I'm so thankful for everything. About my wrist I went to see doctor check - ups every months .. and I joined physiotherapy for my wrist movements. However it's wasn't that easy journey for healings , need to control my emotions and other stuff , I can't do what I like since I have to be extra careful.. Honestly cost of medical check - up one day is about 120 USD 😭. I spent nearly 1.2k USD overall for my physiotherapy. And I started to do my self since I can't afford to pay , it's better for to help myself . Now it's 5 months 1 weeks. I went to doctor he said my wrist is healed however I wasn't allow heavy lifting. Now there's some changes on my nails as well , I have new nails growing. Doctor said it's because is healing.. My prayers for those who is struggling through this journey ❤️🙏🏾. Remember pain is not forever. Wish you healings
thabk you for sharing your journey with us..i just removed my cast and i can't wait to get back to my activities but it seems like i need to wait for ever to get my hand back
@@koriilyass9802 same here, 7 weeks after surgery and I can barely rotate the forearm. I see improvements when bending my wrist but it's far from my how my other wrist can bend. Iwish u the best.
@@gouthamb2093 the idiot cut off my cartilage and bone so the ulnar is flat and I’ll never be able to rotate my forearm. I had no idea what he had done until after 11 weeks after the surgery. I’d guess that normally you’d get more range of motion pretty fast after doing exercises but the swelling can take up to 18 months before it’s completely gone.
This is an excellent video. So helpful, especially the Common Questions. I am casted in both wrists so seeing this is helpful and knowing the expectation is to be able to resume normal activity. Thank you for taking time to make and share this video.
I been in a splint for 6 weeks comes off the 29 September 20/20 fell off a step shattered I left wrist I've never felt such pain that first night I hallucinated it hurts so bad just hoping I can drive and take a normal bath be able to do physical therapy they had to put a plate and screws in prayers please
I came to the Italian Apls for skiing , it was a dream for me but today I broke my radius bone and I had a surgery. I was so disappointed from myself, my hard was broken 😢 now I hope and pray that I will manage to recover and get back stronger and way smarter. Take the lessons and become a better person. Hope and pray for you folks as well 🙏
As much as I like the UK NHS sometimes I think they cut corners as I was in plaster cast for 7 weeks due to a non displacement of the Scaphoid, waist fracture. Then I had an x-ray and cast off then told by consultant to just go home and carry on as before! No advice on exercises and was told that no physio is needed. I have been using my hand as much as possible but to bring my wrist downwards towards my wrist is virtually impossible no movement at all. He said come back in 3 mths if it does not get better. I am having to pay to see a private physiotherapist in a few days just to help me with some exercises and advice. To get to see a NHS physio it can take up to 12 weeks! I wish we had doctors like in this video, really good film thank you.
Wow I’m having same issue bring my hand back to my wrist, although it’s only been 7 weeks since my injury. I also did mine by the NHS. How was your recovery did you end up getting your mobility back to normal?
The NHS are the worst and most corrupted “health care” system in the western world. They are utter crap No idea why on earth you would ever like them - unless you’ve never had anything to compare them to…
Just got back to work after breaking wrist I will tell what helps is bromelaine I think it’s how you spell it take two a day on an empty stomach don’t eat for two hours that helps with the inflammatory specially for working out it’s help me out Still not 100% at all make sure you’re taking it easy on your wrist when you’re working out
just had wrist surgery yesterday. broke it over a year ago and doctor was waiting for it to heal itself. finally referred me elsewhere. hoping i'll eventually be painfree.
I broke mine in November 2019 and it was just a hairline fracture. I can still do push ups but only on my knuckles. But bro this shi hurts so bad I’ve been slowing down cause I don’t know if it’s safe.
So can we go for gym after few months of fracture how many months it will take to recover and Br as usual. How many months it will take to lift the weight at you
Excellent video and exactly what my doctor has done and told me to expect. My only concern is that I have very little movement in my thumb one month post surgery. I haven’t read In comments that others have had this problem. Hopefully with patience and OT this will improve.
@whome? What a coincidence. On my follow up visit last week I learned that the tendon is no longer attached to my thumb. Trying OT to get some movement but if that doesn’t work it will have to be repaired surgically. Possibly you have the same problem? Ask your MD. They will take a tendon from another finger(there are two so that finger can still be used) and attach it to the thumb. Good luck!
@whome? Oh, ok. If physical therapy doesn’t help, you might want to ask what surgical options are possible. I got a second opinion and even with the thumb problem I’m glad I did.
Three and half months after wrist fracture. I feel like a muscle or bone moving near the Ulna bone. It is causing lot of anxiety. Doctors say that it is the fractured bone moving. Anyone who has been in similar situation and what is the outcome?
Rupa katageri 💜 Mine is like It,the ulna is Turn and they did not fix it!Its 3 month Now and it gos to slow to move my Fingers!And my wrist is stiff the Therapist has not big Experience,need to watch USA a videos to help my self,and in Germany they Health-insurance only pays 20 Minutes Exercise 🤷♀️🤷♀️😲😲😢😢😫😫don’t be afraid please, love you wrist,and take lovingly care,talke to it for every Little Improvement,it will gat better and heal jest needs more Time!
What shall we do, my husband had a comminuted fracture, dustal metaphysis of the left radius with minimal displacement of the fracture framents 2 months ago,he undergo wrist casting but after he cant move sideward or he cant twist his wrist.Pls.help.thank you.
I have 2 plates for Displaced fracture of mid shaft of ulna & distal shaft of radius with dislodgement of bony fragments & dissociation of distal radio - ulnar ends. It will be helpful if you could explain the procedures to treat the same and some excersies to recover. Thank you.
Had the same,you need therapy a therapist ho exercise with you! and Google for more videos! I found one how to make my wrist Exercise 🥰🥰💜💜👍👍And a Ball to gat the Stiffness out off the fingers! I hadn’t any metal plaids no OPs 🤷♀️🤷♀️😢😢😢
Same here buddy all heavy work for me but I have no money to treat that right hand poor wrist I fell the pain when carrying some heavy metals O no!!! What if it's broke completely Jesus why I'm that poor
By the way sir my broken wrist is old now and its not in good shape.sometimes the pain coming because until now my wrist was dislocated.is there any remedy to my wrist back in shape?thank you!!!
Literally just got my cast off yesterday and I fell over the open dishwasher door, think I fractured it or something, my ears were also ringing for like 3 minutes after, no idea what going on but I’m trying to fix it without telling my parents
Saw in another video that it is permanent but about 5% of ppl get it removed after problems with their tendons. It’s made out of titanium and doesn’t cause trouble at airports
If you are young you should consider to remove it. In the unlikely event that you break the same wrist again your bone will break into 100 small pieces otherwise and then there won't be any chance to restore it again.
@@oliverabenes7874 same but different I played soccer and I was goal keeper and someone kicked the ball to my hands and it bent it back and it got fractured
@@shabbtw5049 same happened to me the football just hit by so much speed to my right hand and my wrist got fractured.. After how many weeks you have recovered
I’m here 2 weeks after ORIF distal radius and ulna head surgery in my right arm from breaking both in a snowboarding accident. Had to get a metal plate and around 10 screws put in. To make matters worse, I also had a minor hairline fracture in my left wrist. Very informative video! I’ve gotten a lot of my mobility back that I thought I would never have again. I’m currently in a smaller splint cast than I was right after surgery and will be put into a small brace next week. Something I’ve noticed though is that my right wrist sticks up more than and appears a bit bigger than my left wrist now. Do you know if this is from the plate/screws in there or from just being a bit swollen still from surgery? Will this appearance likely subside at all? Please let me know if I just need to give it time for the swelling to go down!
Hi, my wrist surgery sounds like yours ORIF with plates and have like 13 screws...How you getting on now...I'm struggling to bend mine and still feels stiff.
i broke my wrist may 2019 after it healed it hurt a bit from time to time. then it stopped and now in 2022 it has been hurting continuously for almost 3 weeks
I broke my wrist really bad playing soccer a while ago my radius and ulna were completely snapped in two and an amazing doctor I went to just set it back in place said I wouldn’t need surgery and it heal perfectly the hospital where i got it set said I needed surgery and a metal plate connected to them but I didn’t
I don't know what's up with my wrist but I can't bend it 90 degrees also I hear weird bone cracking when trying to bend it. It's been like this for past 2 and half years.
Broke my wrist in a fight with an inmate. Got surgery and a plate. I screwed up and became too active too soon and now I hurt myself. Im afraid I’m gonna need surgery again!!
I broken the end of the radius off and split the end into 2 pieces. They put a " T " plate and 9 screws in. About 1 1/2 weeks after the surgery, I was out running a chainsaw cutting down trees. They didn't cast it as I am allergic to cast material and just had to wear a splint. Everything healed up great, although it does get cold in the winter.
A S my one from seventh grade is completely healed but I had a pin last year with it and my wrist now is healed but I have plates so I have to get them off in July
It's been almost 6 months and my left hand has been out of the cast for 4 months. Because of my age 68, I think it was best to just use a cast without surgery although my wrist has healed but is misaligned. My center finger is almost completely numb and hasn't gotten ANY better. I am left handed so my writing and art (acrylic paint) have suffered. If they break my wrist and reset the bones it could make things worse. At least it didn't happen when I was 16 and live with it my whole life. At least we are not in turkey or syria where 5 million are homeless in the middle of winter ❄️❄️❄️🥶🥶🥶.
I have a long history of CRPS. When I broke my radius for the second time I was advised surgery was my only option. Also told the CRPS would definitely return. Was not given any plan to address the pain from CRPS. I turned down the surgery and now live with a deformed hand & wrist. Received 1 stellate ganglion block and many weeks of PT. Anyone also diagnosed with CRPS?
so... we're all here because we broke our wrist. How did you break yours? My story: my friend who's 5'7 (about 130 lbs) decided to jump on my back (I'm 4'10 and 105 lbs) so I fell and broke my wrist :D (Edit) no I didn’t get surgery and I finally got my cast off like 3 weeks ago 😭. It took 4 months to heal.
i fell of by bike, i thought there was a bug on me and freaked out. i just some cuts here and there. my lip and near my right eye. they put me to sleep and placed it back. hurts like, *hell* its also my dominant hand soo 🙃
I fall out from stairs and my hand swelled. I did x-rays of my hand, a my doctor says i got radius colle's fracture then he gave me cast in my hand and said leave it for 42 days.........""now i want to ask you after removing the cast can i use my like before?""....... Can i do weight lifting?
Are you allowed to do light weight exercise after 9 weeks being out in the cast due to wrist injury? And also when you can start lifting weights again?
I had surgery 3 1/2 months have not had good results .now I have about an in of wire sticking out.went to er before wire came though. I am taking steroids now.
Great straight-forward summary, good to know implications of the joint alignment. On the surgery side I'd be great to get some more info for do-it youselfers out there :D
I had intra articlular displaced distal radius fracture. There were many fragments. They did ORIF with plating and external fixator was added for 19 days.
Who else had this pop up on their UA-cam? With out, doing any type of Internet searching only talking on the phone and texting and being in the emergency room recovery with a wrist fracture with my phone Off! I guess we are being heard!!
This may be duplicated. I broke both of my wrists 4 wks ago, surgery 3 weeks ago and now casts on both wrists. still struggling with pain. yesterday it was about 7/8 before medications. Any suggestions? And should I be doing PT while still in casts? Thank you. Your teaching style is very calming; these injuries have made me even more anxious than normal. Thank you!
I had fractured radius right wrist two months ago.... surgery with splint...moved my fingers all time after surgery so that the joints /knuckles wont go stiff....massage your fingers upwards as often as you want to avoid swelling as blood flow may be not so smooth with cast on but no worries...just move and massage the fingers...then wait till cast or splint is off and k-wire is out, then do guided wrist /arm /fingers exercises to regain strength with your PT...lastly...think positive and aim to be better each day...it works coz i have tried it...good luck, friend
I broke the radius or what it is called not anywhere close to the jointsurface but i broke some bone on the side where the alma is and im curious if those two breaks could restore with a cast in 2-3 weeks Edit- I looked it up and that second broken bone is the lunate or somewhere close to that. (That small spiky thing of the alma)
@Kacper Musialkowski when I smoked about a week after surgery my wrist started to tingle and the pain increased. Do you have a clue why that might be ?
I’ve been dealing with an unhealed hand fracture since 2016. Here it is 2024 and it’s been bothering me. I want to get it fixed but I don’t want to have to get it re broken all over again.
My wrist was broken almost 2 years ago from an exploding airbag (I was blowing the horn at the time I was hit.). I have had 4 surgeries - first one applied external fixator on the day of the accident, second surgery 2 days later to insert a plate/screws, third one about 7 weeks later to remove the external fixator, then about 13 months later replace the plate with a bigger one (not planned, but necessary) and also did some bone grafts. I have done physical therapy 3 times a week off and on for two years (until recently), and continue my stretching and strengthening exercises daily. I have little to no supination, cannot make a fist, have little strength when using my wrist, and it constantly feels as though there is a rubberband around my wrist. I take 1200 mg of calcium with vitamin D3 daily. I was 59 years old at the time of the accident, was in very good health, and lived an active life with physical activities - bowling, fishing, dog training/activities, ziplining, kayaking, swimming, and grandchildren. I can no longer do these things, at least not comfortably. My surgeon has been very vague about my prognosis, saying that I will "always know I broke my wrist". He originally said that my wrist was "pulverized" and that there was "lots and lots and lots" of bone fragments (dusting - he might have said?). Sorry to be so long-winded ... My "Question" is - Is there any way to tell if my recovery to date (7/9/2018 to 5/21/2020) is as good as I'm going to get? My doctor said that the plate and screws are not interfering with the range of motion, and that there is a lot of scar tissue hampering movement (which he attempted to manipulate during my last surgery - VERY PAINFUL AFTERWARDS!). I just need to know if I need to make concessions for the things I can no longer do, or hope for more recovery. I appreciate any info you can provide. This has been hell!!!
How is your wrist now? How do you feel? Does you have operation and steel plate as well? Mine im on the way on 3rd week of healing the operation but for god sake is stiffness every morning.
@@beatypaul6076 Yes i have plate inside, when I try to do push up I feel pain in the area where my forearm and palm joins! Mine is 8 months stil I dont have confidence in doing a single pushup, back then I used to do 70 straight pushup, :(
Hi, my grandmother broke her wrist 2 days ago. Its already cemented. However, her fingers are still swelling and she is telling us that the pain reliver she's taking doesn't seem to help her feel relive. My question is what should/can I do to help her reduce the swelling and pain? We are worried for her but don't know what more can we do to hel her.
@@luisfregoso5221 yes ! Me too my fingers at the nail area. It's swollen 🥺.. it's almost 3 months now . But the swollen started last month . Hope it's normal.
I got this snowboarding in February this year, I have a titanium plate and 5 screws but my hand/wrist is at basically 95%. I'm getting the metal removed in the winter sometime just cause I'm still growing (hopefully), thanks for the good video!
@Trinity Huerta23 the scariest part was waking up from the anaesthesia tbh😅 but it didn't hurt, and I was off painkillers (ibuprofen) after like 2 or 3 days. I did physical therapy as well which helped a lot, I think as long as you know your limits and stay healthy you should heal really fast!
I broke my wrist Sept 15, had a cast for six weeks, & once the cast was taken off, I have no use of my left hand & my wrist is frozen. Going to PT, trying to get my fingers to work again.
I was broke my wrist about 3weeks ago and I took a wrong cast for 3 weeks when I took X'ray the bones is really miss the original place so I took a surgery and screw the plate into the bones the pain is no word to tell!
How I wish I would have had a surgeon that was competent when I broke my wrist and had to have surgery to repair with hardware. After surgery, we asked about physical therapy and he said to just move my fingers, I'd be fine. Well, after developing CRPS and my hand swelled double the size, he finally decided I needed therapy. A year later, after therapy once a week, a splint to stretch tendons back, I still do not have the range of motion I once had. I can only bend my wrist back to a 45° angle, and I still cannot make a complete fist. 😢
i fell on my electric bike. thanks to youtube i was watching bike accident videos and fell in a way that i save my wrist but bruise the fingers. yes i fell on my fingers first and the first impact was on my digits, then my palm. so no bruise on wrist but a bad bruise on my fingers and palm.
I live in Colorado, and I broke both wrists mountain biking. I feel like a stereotype lol. But thank you for having a lot of answers for my questions. I now have hardware in both sides and I am wondering how long before im able to workout and mountain bike again. sounds like maybe as long as 6 months before im back to where I was.

Thank you ! very much for your explanation it’s very informative
I broke my wrist it was painful and unfortunate. Most annoying thing is showering/swimming....
I broken my wrist over two years ago. Now several times a year I get the broken wrist pain and swelling if I barely injure it or work it kinda hard.
I fractured my wrist almost 7 year’s ago never went to get treatment I’ve been dealing with the pain and it’s getting worse
Go to a DOCTOR
Same here buddy all heavy work for me but I have no money to treat that right hand poor wrist I fell the pain when carrying some heavy metals O no!!! What if it's broke completely Jesus why I'm that poor
Where are you guys from? In my country my surgery, physical therapy and everything else was for free.
By the way sir my broken wrist is old now and its not in good shape.sometimes the pain coming because until now my wrist was dislocated.is there any remedy to my wrist back in shape?thank you!!!
Literally just got my cast off yesterday and I fell over the open dishwasher door, think I fractured it or something, my ears were also ringing for like 3 minutes after, no idea what going on but I’m trying to fix it without telling my parents
Did it turn out ok? I truly hope so.
I broke my wrist 3 days ago & I've almost fallen a couple times, it's icy here.
@@naelyneurkopfen9741 I cast my cast off a week ago and I’m petrified of falling again ,it’s so painful 😔
Thankyou Please tell how can I recover from heart broke.
is the metal device put in place permanent or does it get removed later? What are the complications?
Saw in another video that it is permanent but about 5% of ppl get it removed after problems with their tendons. It’s made out of titanium and doesn’t cause trouble at airports
@@natashao3728 2 jobs I worked at the metal detector kept going off on my wrist, the hand held one
If you are young you should consider to remove it. In the unlikely event that you break the same wrist again your bone will break into 100 small pieces otherwise and then there won't be any chance to restore it again.

I’m here 2 weeks after ORIF distal radius and ulna head surgery in my right arm from breaking both in a snowboarding accident. Had to get a metal plate and around 10 screws put in. To make matters worse, I also had a minor hairline fracture in my left wrist. Very informative video! I’ve gotten a lot of my mobility back that I thought I would never have again. I’m currently in a smaller splint cast than I was right after surgery and will be put into a small brace next week.
Something I’ve noticed though is that my right wrist sticks up more than and appears a bit bigger than my left wrist now. Do you know if this is from the plate/screws in there or from just being a bit swollen still from surgery? Will this appearance likely subside at all? Please let me know if I just need to give it time for the swelling to go down!
Hi, my wrist surgery sounds like yours ORIF with plates and have like 13 screws...How you getting on now...I'm struggling to bend mine and still feels stiff.

i broke my wrist may 2019 after it healed it hurt a bit from time to time. then it stopped and now in 2022 it has been hurting continuously for almost 3 weeks
Omg currently recovering from this surgery, soooo hard and painful.

Plz Doc when i do exercises, i feel numbness next day. Will i be able to move it as before? The surgeon inserted a titanium piece. Thx a lot 🌷
I broke my wrist in February and It still hasn’t fully healed. I was able to take my brace off about 2 months ago. Will it ever heal?
Did your wrist ever heal? I just had surgery for my wrist
TrencH Baby yeah it did it was my fault it took that long cause i took off my brace too early i shoulda waited like another few weeks
@@CarlJohnson-rr5zj hey man! How are you now?
I just hurt my wrist today and have cast on how long did it take to heal my doctor said it was non displaced
6 weeks if the bone doesn't move anymore. Otherwise you'll need surgery.
I broke my wrist really bad playing soccer a while ago my radius and ulna were completely snapped in two and an amazing doctor I went to just set it back in place said I wouldn’t need surgery and it heal perfectly the hospital where i got it set said I needed surgery and a metal plate connected to them but I didn’t
how are you now??
How are you now? I'm scared of surgery
How long did it take for your guys wrist to heal plz answer
I don't know what's up with my wrist but I can't bend it 90 degrees also I hear weird bone cracking when trying to bend it.
It's been like this for past 2 and half years.
do an x radio

Me too, I guess it’s just the limited mobility, it’s a ache feeling, the tight skin from the healed scar when they snitched you up
my sister broke her wrist whine on the trampoline feeling guilty and im now scared of what she will have to go through
Broke wrist it’s going on 4 weeks in cast still painful can’t use any strength it painful how long going last
How r u now
Broke my wrist in a fight with an inmate. Got surgery and a plate. I screwed up and became too active too soon and now I hurt myself. Im afraid I’m gonna need surgery again!!
I did a fine job of breaking my wrist the other day. Good times 🙄
I know mine is because it feels the same way my foot did when it got fractured
What about writing with tension in the wrist.
I broken the end of the radius off and split the end into 2 pieces. They put a " T " plate and 9 screws in. About 1 1/2 weeks after the surgery, I was out running a chainsaw cutting down trees. They didn't cast it as I am allergic to cast material and just had to wear a splint. Everything healed up great, although it does get cold in the winter.
You very lucky please note we can loose our life any minute,please be careful!💜💜💗💗👍👍👍🙏🌹🌹
I'm 7 weeks from surgery. Im able to flexion, but unable to go for extension. Is this something to worry?

How are Your Wrists Now ?
What’s the best and fastest way to get back into shape and athletics after my casts come off I’m 17 btw
It's been almost 6 months and my left hand has been out of the cast for 4 months. Because of my age 68, I think it was best to just use a cast without surgery although my wrist has healed but is misaligned. My center finger is almost completely numb and hasn't gotten ANY better. I am left handed so my writing and art (acrylic paint) have suffered. If they break my wrist and reset the bones it could make things worse. At least it didn't happen when I was 16 and live with it my whole life. At least we are not in turkey or syria where 5 million are homeless in the middle of winter ❄️❄️❄️🥶🥶🥶.
Hi Alan, we're sorry to hear that your recovery didn't go as hoped.
I have a long history of CRPS. When I broke my radius for the second time I was advised surgery was my only option. Also told the CRPS would definitely return. Was not given any plan to address the pain from CRPS. I turned down the surgery and now live with a deformed hand & wrist. Received 1 stellate ganglion block and many weeks of PT. Anyone also diagnosed with CRPS?
so... we're all here because we broke our wrist. How did you break yours?
My story: my friend who's 5'7 (about 130 lbs) decided to jump on my back (I'm 4'10 and 105 lbs) so I fell and broke my wrist :D
(Edit) no I didn’t get surgery and I finally got my cast off like 3 weeks ago 😭. It took 4 months to heal.
i fell of by bike, i thought there was a bug on me and freaked out. i just some cuts here and there. my lip and near my right eye. they put me to sleep and placed it back. hurts like, *hell* its also my dominant hand soo 🙃
m o c h a it was my dominant hand too, but it was fine because I did no work in school 😂.

There were many fragments. They did ORIF with plating and external fixator was added for 19 days.

This may be duplicated. I broke both of my wrists 4 wks ago, surgery 3 weeks ago and now casts on both wrists. still struggling with pain. yesterday it was about 7/8 before medications. Any suggestions? And should I be doing PT while still in casts? Thank you. Your teaching style is very calming; these injuries have made me even more anxious than normal. Thank you!
Julie I broke my right wrist 4 weeks ago. Surgery etc... how are you going and what can u do?
I had fractured radius right wrist two months ago.... surgery with splint...moved my fingers all time after surgery so that the joints /knuckles wont go stiff....massage your fingers upwards as often as you want to avoid swelling as blood flow may be not so smooth with cast on but no worries...just move and massage the fingers...then wait till cast or splint is off and k-wire is out, then do guided wrist /arm /fingers exercises to regain strength with your PT...lastly...think positive and aim to be better each day...it works coz i have tried it...good luck, friend
Thank you!!!!
Hello. Hope everyone is recovering well and fast. I broke my wrist last month on the 9th had surgery on the 14th
Hi there ! I'm sorry to hear .
How are you now ? Is everything is okay ?
I broken my left wrist it's been 5 months now.
I broke the radius or what it is called not anywhere close to the jointsurface but i broke some bone on the side where the alma is and im curious if those two breaks could restore with a cast in 2-3 weeks
Edit- I looked it up and that second broken bone is the lunate or somewhere close to that. (That small spiky thing of the alma)
And did you heal jet?hier the same,it’s bad did not have on OP!
fell off my bike and now I'm in a cast with a ton of school assignments due that I can't do, Yay me

Buenas noches que tiempo la recuperacion yo me opere y aun no puedo bajar la mano y ya tengo un mes y aun tengo dormido los dedos de la mano
My wrist was broken almost 2 years ago from an exploding airbag (I was blowing the horn at the time I was hit.). I have had 4 surgeries - first one applied external fixator on the day of the accident, second surgery 2 days later to insert a plate/screws, third one about 7 weeks later to remove the external fixator, then about 13 months later replace the plate with a bigger one (not planned, but necessary) and also did some bone grafts. I have done physical therapy 3 times a week off and on for two years (until recently), and continue my stretching and strengthening exercises daily. I have little to no supination, cannot make a fist, have little strength when using my wrist, and it constantly feels as though there is a rubberband around my wrist. I take 1200 mg of calcium with vitamin D3 daily. I was 59 years old at the time of the accident, was in very good health, and lived an active life with physical activities - bowling, fishing, dog training/activities, ziplining, kayaking, swimming, and grandchildren. I can no longer do these things, at least not comfortably. My surgeon has been very vague about my prognosis, saying that I will "always know I broke my wrist". He originally said that my wrist was "pulverized" and that there was "lots and lots and lots" of bone fragments (dusting - he might have said?). Sorry to be so long-winded ... My "Question" is - Is there any way to tell if my recovery to date (7/9/2018 to 5/21/2020) is as good as I'm going to get? My doctor said that the plate and screws are not interfering with the range of motion, and that there is a lot of scar tissue hampering movement (which he attempted to manipulate during my last surgery - VERY PAINFUL AFTERWARDS!). I just need to know if I need to make concessions for the things I can no longer do, or hope for more recovery. I appreciate any info you can provide. This has been hell!!!
Damn your case sounds serious. I hope you're doing better by now.

@Trinity Huerta23 the scariest part was waking up from the anaesthesia tbh😅 but it didn't hurt, and I was off painkillers (ibuprofen) after like 2 or 3 days. I did physical therapy as well which helped a lot, I think as long as you know your limits and stay healthy you should heal really fast!
My bone healed the wrong way after a re break I'm now currently in pain and can't lift anything been over a year not sure what's my go now
The question i wanna know is does it go back to normal? Will i worry about pain or will i have ti stop doing certain things
Depends on how bad the fracture was and how well the surgery and physical therapy went.

How I wish I would have had a surgeon that was competent when I broke my wrist and had to have surgery to repair with hardware. After surgery, we asked about physical therapy and he said to just move my fingers, I'd be fine. Well, after developing CRPS and my hand swelled double the size, he finally decided I needed therapy. A year later, after therapy once a week, a splint to stretch tendons back, I still do not have the range of motion I once had. I can only bend my wrist back to a 45° angle, and I still cannot make a complete fist. 😢
How u doing now??
i fell on my electric bike. thanks to youtube i was watching bike accident videos and fell in a way that i save my wrist but bruise the fingers. yes i fell on my fingers first and the first impact was on my digits, then my palm. so no bruise on wrist but a bad bruise on my fingers and palm.
Happy new year to all of you
Mine recovered but every time I lift not so heavy stuff, I feel like the circle bone(at the side) moving. doesn't hurt much but very uncomfortable
I live in Colorado, and I broke both wrists mountain biking. I feel like a stereotype lol. But thank you for having a lot of answers for my questions. I now have hardware in both sides and I am wondering how long before im able to workout and mountain bike again. sounds like maybe as long as 6 months before im back to where I was.
