broken wrist :(

[Shawman]

yup, broke my wrist the other night playing football (soccer)

nice big clean break on the first night of the first holiday i've had from work in over a year

anyway, anybody have any idea when it would be comfortable to play again? (it's my left wrist by the way)

i'm gonna have the cast on for a month at least, and i'm assuming i'm not gonna be able to play until quite a while after that! i asked the doctor but he has no idea

anybody had any experience in this? would just like a rough idea so i can plan to get back into gigs

sad times

i suppose it depends on what your playing and how agressive you are. when i broke my wrist when i was younger i had the cast off and played a game of rugby the next day and the doctor said it would be fine. playing bass with the cast on however will keep your fingers active which is good.

yeah, although i can't even turn my hand round to get my fingers in the upright position

not all doom and gloom, learning to play piano while it recovers

i broke my middle, plucking hand, finger. it's week 5. i can't play at this time at all like i used to. i'm going nuts. no idea how or when i'll be able to play compared to how i used to. good luck on your wrist!
