I hurt my hand today...debating on seeing a Dr.

There's not much they can do for fractured hand bones.. they just have to heal on their own. You cant very well put a cast on your hand. If it were really serious, surgery would be necessary but it doesnt sound like it.

I know because my brother just about broke every bone in his body from a motorcycle accident last year.

Still visit the doctor, a slight fracture in the bones or the tendons could have pulled or bruised. Putting your hand in a cast of some sort does help it rest and heal so that you don't use the fingers that need to rest. I pulled my thumb literally backwards when I was lifting and yanking a very heavy Rubbermaid container from top of the closet. And I could not use it, it hurt like heck so finally I went and they ran x-rays and luckily I didn't fracture which is what they were looking for, but the tendons were messed up. So it was in a cast for a few days which sucked since it was my writing hand, the hand I do everything with, almost everything. Anyway, it's much better, even though I can't do repetitive work. Once you pull muscles like that, they never are back to normal. So go to the doc IMO and get your hand checked out and wrapped up so that it can heal.

Sicy is your brother better since the accident? Or is he still in the hospital? Motorcycles are soooo dangerous, along with playing football, I find those two to be such dangerous things because there isn't anything to buffer the bodies from serious damage.

My brother is lucky to be alive. He crashed going approx. 80mph.. broke his pelvis, right leg, left ankle, shattered every bone in his left arm, right wrist, 3 ribs, punctured lung.

He was bedridden for 2 months and hospitalized for 6. The 1 year anniversary is coming up on Sept. 7. He's home and as of today he is walking fine (but his knees hurt) and his left arm is not usable because he severed his radial nerve and because of Medi-cal and insurance problems he wasnt able to get the surgery to repair that nerve in time. He has had multiple surgeries in that arm, fought a bad infection there and is finally off the antibiotics.

I do know that he will never get on a motorcycle again.. mainly because he cant, since he cant use his left arm.

I love him very much.

(sorry shell.. back to your regularly scheduled hand thread.. )

That's ok Sicy...he's a hottie!

Glad to hear that he survived such a horrible accident!

what's up with your hand Shell?

Holy Macaroni Sicy!

(must stop drooling here!)

What is it with this site, the members have gorgeous brothers - Shell and Sicy and Bundy. Who else?????

Still hurts a bit, but not nearly as bad. I can finally type like usual instead of picking with one or two fingers!

Just a bit sore...I'm betting by tomorrow it'll be just fine. I never did make it out to Walmart today...just a lazy day for me!

Thanks everyone for the concern! Honestly though, it's ALOT better than last night!

Rofl..does he know you're out advertising him, so to speak?

No..

any single ladies out there?!!! dag nabit, why didn't i know of him 10 years ago when I was single?!!! arrrghhh!!!

Shell, I never thought about this being a workman's comp issue. It is. I fell down OUTSIDE my place of work and they sent me to the doctor to have it documented. Legally they really should do this even if it is just bruised (like me, but mine was mostly ego).

hey sicy.. i couldn't resist your brother either... drool drool... i'm drooling buckets... he's really cool looking....

Thanks He's really stubborn though and a pain in the @$$ sometimes

Shell's been shopping, for a pet - uh, man. After all, this IS her thread, she should get first shot at him.
