Thats good then When they first took the cast off of my arm, i nearly passed out ! Was not expecting 4 of them to be sticking litrally out my arm. Looks like something off of a horror film ! When they took your cast off did your arm just go floppy and find it hard to keep your wrist up ?

You may be lucky though, they might come out easy for you

 Your getting the same treatment as me it sounds like, the worst part for me was not being able to ride a bike for 11 weeks, then after about 5 more weeks i was able to start riding a bit harder and so on. Takes time dude, im not going to lie to you When the cast finally comes off you get put into a splint which basicly is just a strap that you need to take off every so often and move the wrist about. Then eventually you can start leaving it off and start picking up jam jars ect and getting the strength back.

A word of advice is to drink a shitload of milk and eat your greens ! I found myself watching loads of mountain biking films to keep my motivation up and keep me going.

 Atleast that gives you time to recover fully mate, maybe its best that way ! I was able to grip things in the cast, but when it was revoved i had no grip at all, probably because the cast gives so much support.

Whats the spec of your injury then ? I got 6 fractures, and a snapper ulna

 Thats a nasty one ! Yeah i was on a 4X course and me and my friend said "one last run", had a little race and pushed to hard for the end of the day. Last jump on the course i misjudged it, went up and just went over the front. Not sure how it happend as i just blacked out the moment i realised i was going down, couple of seconds later i looked down at my wrist and it was f*cked ! What about you ?

 Sounds to simular to me ! I dont know how i crashed, but my front wheel was mashed to hell. Its nasty when something bad happens but belive me it makes you a better rider, i came back with more confidence and more desire to shred than ever before. Few weeks after riding harder i smashed into a tree face first and caused myself major concussion LOL ! Dont remember the whole day, or events before it. Ah well Wish you a speedy recovery dude

Almost forgot, when your back riding. MAKE SURE YOU GET YOURSELF A WRIST WRAP, this saved my wrist many times i belive and then take it off when you have the confidence back.

The 661 wrist wrap race is very good, i have one myself and its pretty comfy. Doesnt affect your riding and your gloves can fit nicely underneath

 Its no problem dude I know how nasty the injury is so anything i can pass on i shall I cant stand body armour when riding for some reason, obvoiusly i wear my helmet, gloves, goggles, kneepads but thats it. I find it to restrictive !

 did the nurs at the hospital say i need to x ray ur hand like thiis then literaly throw your hand on the table then put it in the most painful possition they could think off... im just wondering if its a normal occurance in hospitals

 Its not like a plaster being pulled off, i assure you. Thats what i got told, first one came out alright, next 3 got stuck and had to pulled out with plyers. Best of luck dude !

 Pretty much the same as me ! I warn you, pulling the kaywires out hurts like a bitch.

 i have pins in my arm right now..snake bits for life u will understand what i mean when u get them out

 What happened there dude? You get injured so much!

 damn man. thats sheesh pretty gnarly

 I'm sorry to hear this happened.
