Well the doctor said he thought it was this bone behind my thumb I'm convinced its a bad sprain lol. Doesn't really hurt unless I move it too much to one side.

sometimes sprains are worse than breaks. i sprained my ankle in a soccer game a while ago, at first people thought it was shattered cause it was 3 times the size my other ankle and black and blue. actually made someone faint when they saw it ha. got to the hospital and no break, but they said id probably be better off cause everything else was messed up

I broke my L5 vertebrae and a rib playing football. I knew I was hurt, but just brushed it off... Two weeks later when I went snowboarding, I knew something was actually wrong because of the position it put my spine in.... Went to the doc and had quite a suprise... I knew my back hurt, but I would have expected my rib to be very painful and I didnt even notice it.

Good luck with the wrist. Have to keep the spirited driving to a minimum for awhile.

At least you didnt break both of your wrists. My friend broke both his wrists in a football game last year. He took the pain well but it was not a pretty site. His both of his wrists were shaped like a "S".

Just think of it this way, you can still wipe your own ***.

A friend of mine broke both femurs, both arms and his hip on a skiing accident.

5 years of rehab.

Because I've broken all of them. Including my shoulder blade, a few fingers, and my hand. All in all, I've broken 11 bones. All but one on my right side, lol....
