BAMA07 Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 So out riding my shee we were going threw some trails(about 5 quads), and there was a root on the trail i just happen to hit it wrong and broke my wrist in a bad place. a place where the doc said it would take 12weeks of cast to fix and surgery if that doesnt work:(. pain in the ash cast to one where they made it were i couldnt use my thumb so its like i dont have a thumb on my right hand which is my hand i do everything with. The problem with this is i work under the table building houses and i cant swing a hammer without a thumb so it has left me with no money or job. I love riding but with a huge truck note and a 4wheeler note its hard to pay them both. Im wondering how much would a 06 banshee with toomeyt5s sell for i got it may1stof 07 was the last one on the lot at the dealership.ty much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HotCarl Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 A couple of us were down at pismo last month and one of my buddies rode off a 2 foot "dune" at about 6 mph and broke his wrist in 2 places. it was pretty much the lamest way to hurt yourself I've ever seen. atleast if you are going to break yourself you should have a good story to show for it. Make one up and then go to the bar and see if it fetchs any girlies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybobby Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 What bone did you break? Some bones in the wrist get very little blood flow. Which means they don't heal. I broke my scaphoid about five years ago snowboarding two surgries later including a bone graft from my hip I now have about half the range of motion in my wrist. Be careful with your doc if it is a bad bone, cause some of those bones need a real specialist. I went to two shitty doctors it took me two years before I was completely healed and cast free. If you are going to be in a cast for awhile make sure and get something to squeeze it helps blood flow. I might be overboard here but I would hate to see 12 weeks turn into two years and atrophied muscle's. PM me if you want anymore info I learned allot over the last five about the wrist.

I choked on that one. I would call someone who has done allot of succesful surgeries and go in and see them for another opinion. My first doc put a screw in I had a cast on for 5 month's. I went in every two weeks and had pics taken just to be told it's not quite there but were getting closer. Yeah he was a flamer, I told him I couldn't be in a cast anymore and he said wear a brace and you should be fine. Yeah it wasn't fine. Next doc said the first one should have been sued a screw in that bone is never good and then told me that he was not qualified to fix it. Next doc in Salt Lake City who has done a ton of these chopped bone out of my hip and put it in my wrist, 7 month's in a cast bone was finally healed. Best thing I did was figured out what a healthy scaphoid looked like and had my doc point out and prove it was getting better every checkup. I was in a cast a little over a year and wore a brace in between, the whole deal took about two years and about 20 pounds from me I was scrawny. My left arm was skinnier then my wifes who is 5'9'' 125. It took me about another 6 month's before I could really get back to lifting, riding and my sports and feeling safe about it. I wear a brace every time I ride and stretch twice a day. Some things to look for and to help make sure your doc is no less then a expert on this boner. Ask as many questions as you can think of. Get a heating pad and a ice pack alternate hot and cold on your wrist it helps with blood flow even with the cast on. Open and close your fist blood flow. If you are in a cast for awhile physical therapy cause you will lose allot of range of motion. I hope all goes well I have heard some people get off real easy with these and be out of a cast in a few month's and others were it never heals. Hey good luck man.
