I broke my 5th metacarpal
 

Fuck it hurt - I reckon ive got about two weeks left plastered up.

Anyone else ever broke a bloody bone - painful isnt it?

so sorry to hear that dude.. how did it happen? are you playing a very athletic game? or just doing the household stuff?

What did you punch. LOL

yeah I snapped 3 and 5 like match sticks and they both came through the top of my hand when I was 18, it was a bloody mess. What they don't tell you is they just never seem to feel right for the longest time after the cast comes off.

and yes I punched something. Dr advised me 99% of the time that is the cause.

never have "knock on wood"

The only bone I have ever broken is my left eye orbit. Not very pleasant.

Dudes - I turn wood on a lathe for a hobby in my garage. I always plane down the wood edges (from say a cube to an Octagon) so the chisels run smoother at first when working with a new piece.

Well - I didnt smooth the block off this time and my chisel and hand were drawn into the machine at about 1500rpm - it happens VERY FAST - Like a flash infact.

I havent really worked for 3 weeks now.

:(

I have heard - yes - that this is the "BOXERS BREAK".

Nothing so glam for me Im afraid though :)

3 and 5 - fack that must have hurt - and as for they eye orbit - well I guess I must be a lucky mother fucker then. Ouch!!!

:)

ok.. and what is your "5th metacarpal" again????

Buggy - its the bone which runs from the wrist down to your little finger.

I'll take mine over a machine injury that would have scared the shit out of me. DAYUM did they soft cast you around a hand plate to keep your bone in place??

and hell yeah, I don't like the orbital being broken that doesn't sound like fun.

damn i can imagine

ohhhhhhhhhhh....ok
sorry.. not up to my anatomy lingo! :thumbsup

I guess I had to het it off my chest by bleating here. Its not that serious but when you catch it on something..... whoaaaaaaaaa oooeeerrrr now wheres those bondage and pain guys - I think I can teach them something about pain.

:)

Cast is an epoxy resin one. rock solid splint down the arm below the elbow to the finger and round the arm etc.

Fack I want to type again - properly that is.

As for woodwork - I will definately be carrying on with it. Its still better than working on computers.

Well for me its kind of relaxing anyways,

out
 

Cheers dudes - im a gonna for another 3 weeks - typing is wrecking the healing.

Gutted at the mo. :(

ouch! that must hurt bad. be careful next time, man.

lots of broken bones before. 6 ribs all at once was my record number. still have a broken wrist from almost 8 years ago. its heeled but still hurts once and while. usually I have to crack it, then pain subsides. doctors wanted to do surgery on it, bone grafts etc. but they never heel correctly after that kind of surgery.

sorry to hear, i hope it heals fast

i am sorry to hear about that incident. just be more careful next time.

I've broke a couple of bones before

But you havent really felt pain until you break your knee. And if you think that hurts bad, wait till you wake up from the surgery to fix it.

Should we discuss the months of physical therapy afterwards?

oh! too bad for you man! i hope your ok now

I actually broke the 5th metacarpal also from punching a wall when I was 16. It hurt when the doctor put it back into place but then I got the cast and the vicodin, all set.

I also broke my right knee at 15 from doing a jump on a bicycle. Did not require surgery but the physical therapy was a pain in the ass. The day when I got the cast off and the muscle was soo tight was crazy too.

Unfortunately my bones are intact. However, I once flipped some muscle tissues along my arms when I once played basketball. Not as severe as fructured bones but it somehow hurt.

recently broke my 4th and 5th metacarpal, they've healed now but still cant straighten them out - and hell does it hurt if i knock them sideways :(

you know when you break a bone the right way... cause it takes hardware to put it back together

enjoy my left knee :)

owowowowowowowowowowowowow

Thanks for the memories. :(

Dayum. That hurts just looking at it.

Had a broken leg at age 6 months, was in a half body cast that held the broken leg steady with the other one... don't remember that though :upsidedow

Broke both bones in my arm around 12. I remember the cast itched more than anything.

Was in a wreck where I broke my collarbone and a rib, which popped out of place several times. That hurt like a motherfucker.

Here's to your speedy recovery :thumbsup

Ouch, that X-ray tells enough damage.

lol.. funny I usually count first from the little finger way up to my thumb...
:1orglaugh
Hope you're feeling well now!

Take a rest man. We'll wait for more bones to break.(lol kidding)
