Now this sucks.. (results)
« on: July 09, 2009, 06:20:21 AM »
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.

another lefty STROKER just what we need......... LOL.....

Good luck brian, let it heal right man just not worth it in the long run......

I started lefty last season and have had 7 in a row and 221 already (until I hurt my left hand.... ) I got 2 fingers busted up pretty good at the moment and they have both been injured a little over 2 months and no signs of healing anytime soon....

Thanks for all the advice and kind words, everyone.

Buzz, I'm sorry to hear that. It's terrible not being able to bowl when it's what you love the most. I'm now dreaming about bowling lol.

Well, CT scan was done yesterday. Awaiting results.

I had a similar problem, i had a fracture on my growth plate in the wrist. I would try to bowl all the time and it just wouldnt stop hurting. I talked to my ball driller and he recommended a wrist guard, so i got the robby revs, and that solved the problem. Now before i did this though, i took off 5 weeks to let it heal. But i know that wrist guard is what allows me to bowl now. So dont worry to much, take some time off and maybe try the wrist guard.

Well, here's an update..

CT Scan shows my wrist is healing. It is still technically broke I assume, but it's healing or "showing signs of mend" as they say. I see the doctor Monday and he said he is going to talk to me about a cast or something I guess.. Yay for some results.

At least you got some results. Good news is from reading that hopefully will not need surgery. Just some resting in a cast in one of the warmest months of the year sounds like fun.

keep your head up man i know the feeling so don't doing anything stupid and try to bowl if you are hurting because for example when i was in high school i was all state in football and bowling. but i got injured in football and tried to bowl with a boot once my freshmen year and another my senior year both huge mistakes that i regret. it took forever to heal those injuries and it affected my bowling for awhile

Let it heal completely. Your wrist is one of the parts of your body that is easier to keep re-injuring.
