Well I fractured a bone in my wrist, the triquetrum, about a month-month and a half ago. After finally examining that it was a fracture, I was put in a cast for a month. I just got my cast off 2.5 weeks ago from today and had the ok to bowl this week. I bowled, my wrist is hurting, so I thought ok, obviously it should be hurting a little. Then bowled a little longer, ok, it's REALLY hurting bad. So I take a 2 day break, same story again. Another day break, same story. Now i'm starting to worry. I strengthened it since the day my cast was off, too.

We went back to the doctor yesterday since I and my parents are pretty worried. I now have another CT Scan scheduled. The doctor said if it's partially fractured still, I have to be casted longer with some sort of magnetic pulse treatment (in which he hardly has faith in, he admit). If it's still completely fractured, he's talking surgery.

I'm so worried. This is completely affecting my bowling game here and now he's talking surgery. I have 2 NIB balls to still drill (a Brunswick Siege/Rattler) and I can't be any more anxious to drill them.

Sorry for the long rant, I just needed to let that out. I'm just very worried. I guess for now, the most I can do is catch up on reviews of my equipment.

Thanks for reading. Any optimistic comments appreciated.

GetOffMe, i'm definitely just going to take it easy, bowl lefty, and heal up. That's all my ball driller ever tells me is his unfortunate cases like this.

sdbowler, i'll ease your pain and just post pics of them for you.

Don't mess with your wrist give it time, or you will never be the same. I have been fighting with wrist issue. Listen to the doc, he has your best interest in mind.

I know this is a tough pill to swallow, but you've got to take care of it now or you could be out from bowling permanently. Let it heal. However long it takes.

After you get the green light you should spend some serious time with rehab to avoid re-injuring it all over again. Too many guys want to start throwing the ball as rehab, when that's probably not advisable at first. Patience, Grasshopper...

Good luck as you move forward. By the way, you'll love the Siege and Rattler, but you'll love them better when you can use them pain free.

That's just cold. Asking a hurt kid to send you the balls because he's hurt. FastTracker, man just do what the doctor tells you and DON'T push it too much. You do not want to do any permanent damage.

Oh yeah, just send me the Rattler, I'm not greedy.

Me stupid. Me believe anything. Please tell me what to do.

It really does suck, with my wrist being this way and all. My CT scan is scheduled for next monday at 1:00PM. I'll probably have the results the next day or same day even. It's going to be cast or surgery. I'm still worried.

I won't be pushing anything. I'll just keep working on my lefty game.. which is coming along well.

Thanks for the words, guys. It's definitely better listening to someone to tell you to stop, other than my parents and ball driller, Beans. The more the merrier.

I won't be giving away any bowling balls either. Haha

Yeah you are right it was cold. Take your time don't push it. Listen to the doc and heal up first. I know a few people that have wrist problems and I am probably going to be one of them. It is nothing to ignore. Good luck with everything hopefully it is nothing to bad for ya.

Who knows if you bowl left handed long enough you might really like it from that side better. Sure gets less traffic.

NJStroker · « **Reply #9 on:** July 09, 2009, 06:21:42 PM »

let it heal. i broke my ankle, and never let it heal completely, since then ive been in casts about a year and a half collectively and still need the surgery. it hurts every day, and im only 16. just let it heal you'll be much better off.

sdbowler, thanks a lot, man. I really hope it'll heal properly as I let it.

notsohotshot, i've been bowling left a lot, actually. My high game is 167, my longest strike streak is 3 or 4 strikes in a row, and this is all with a 12lb house ball. It's fun actually. There's a real nice wall for leftys. Haha.

nj, I really don't want that to be me. That sounds real bad. I hope it gets better for you some time.

I was injured last winter and got alot of good advice from people on here so now I feel its my obligation to do the same for you. You are going to miss the game, I missed it alot. But unless you do everything you are supposed to do to get that thing healed then you risk being out alot longer if not for good. Take it easy and make sure its ok before you even THINK about trying it again. Those balls will be there when you are ready to throw again (and probably some other new ones by then that you cant wait to get your hands on.) Listen to NotClay cause everything he said is right, he knows what he is talking about and he gave me alot of good advice when I was out too. While you are injured its going to seem like a long time waiting to bowl again, but when you compare it to maybe never bowling again....then is it really that long?

NJStroker · « **Reply #13 on:** July 09, 2009, 10:29:42 PM »

also, just think how much you will love the game after being out of it for so long.

After reading your original statement, I decided to do some research as I had
never heard of this bone before (or after 30 years after my college graduation,
I just couldn't remember it.) It is the third most commonly injured bone in
the carpal area of the hand. Most times to heal, it requires stabilization for
some period of time--most likely surgery. Good luck and be patient, improper
rest could cause you problems for a long period of time--you are a young man,
do it right.
