Having a broken arm is not a good thing. It throws everything off balance. I cannot move my hand, wrist, or elbow due to the cast that was placed on it. Restricted movement can be a problem in an active life but i still do the best i can. So if u have now or ever have had broken bones, u know exactly what I mean.

I spent a few months in a wheel chair with both legs in casts when I was 17. Have had broken ribs and a few bones in my hand and foot as well. Not a fun time.

i broke my pinky on my right hand close to 7 or 8 years ago. i still have a calcium buildup in there that the doctor said would go away. and the emergency room gave me a prescription to Vikanin. never took it though

Kater-was that at the same time? Did they run in to each other at full speed?

I once broke 8 out of 12 ribs on my left side. Now that hurt.

Just do whatever the doc tells to you do and go to PT when you have to!

Be well, M

It's a matter of changing your thinking from "why I can't" to "how I can". I broke my right thumb and had to learn to do everything with my left hand. It's amazing what you can do if you set your mind to it.
