Thread: bought a bunch of rocks at mammoth, broke head on radius, wrist swelled enourmously

and typing one-handed. more later...

only takes one hand to keep busy so you still got that going for ya

Hope you broke the left one. Wiping lefty really, really sucks.

damn dude , that sucks

Dood, don't do that!

Heal up quick mang!

five inches of fresh.
suckerbait.
the bright side is that it was the left side.

Ouch. That sucks. I hope you broke the head of your radius, not some part of your head. Next time go face first, you can't get much uglier, but you need your hands for work and, um, other stuff.

Heal up fast.

On the plus side, nice review of PM Gear skis on UnofficialAlpine today.

Take care, Man!

So, it looks like I'm going to let the bone and hand/wrist heal on their own.
Anyone know the PT exercises for a broken radius?

furious masturbation. i'm surprised you even had to ask. the good thing is, with all the swelling it will feel like someone new.

Will this effect FKNA t-shirt sales & shipping dates...?





Just kidding, hope you feel better and my wife (RN) really wants you to get that looked at (did u guys bang? HA-ha). Hey, at least you did it somewhere classy like Mammoth, just think, you could have been in CO!

Yes, when people ask how I did it I say 'furious masturbation'.
Old woman at the Whole Foods deli said, after I told her that, " Well, you better get that fixed and then go see a doctor about your hand."

mustard and a pretzel bun.

Hope you took the time to take that fat "girl" for a tug.

But for cereal doood that sucks. Heal quick.

So you did get that looked at like by a real medical professional? X-rays & all... no pins plates or external fixators necessary..?

Furious masturbation... could very well eliminate that 3rd spacing... either way wtf... can't hurt

Got X rays. The break didn't separate, so no cast. Wrist has damage, but not to the bones. Arnica greatly reduced the bruising and my herbal guru said bromaline (sic?) would take the swelling out. Just icing as much as possible. Now that the pain is subsiding in the hand, I can feel it all the way through the arm and shoulder and into my back. It was either this or break my hip on a rock.
I think I made the right choice. I was all smiles downclimbing the rocks to get to where I shouldn't have gone...

Had a nice bruise on the hip. Still hurts. Since the radius didn't move, I'm not even wrapping it anymore. Fingers are kinda starting to work and my arm and hand hurt like hell. Swelling is going down. Can't straighten my arm at the elbow, which also hurts. Looks like I'll be fine in a couple weeks.
