So have had a bit of a sore wrist past few weeks but wasnt that sore so just ignored it... however past week its got worse so trundled off to my sports doc this morning:( ( bloody horse riders lol according to him ) He is pretty much sure Ive fractured my Scaphoid & as its such a small bone It doesnt cause as much pain as you would get with a normal fracture:( Have been for X ray & next step is to get MRI of it & see hand surgeon as its a complex fracture & bone to break..

Am splinted up to immobilise my wrist & where the heck does that leave me with 2 horse Id so many plans for the next 2mths:( I have people that can help with the exercise part & can prob manage to lunge but so worried this is going to set my confidence back a ton !!!

What else can I do with the horses ground work wise as it will kill me just to go up to look at them & not be able to do anything but lunge.

Its been a Cr**** week & now this...

The bones in my wrist immobilised years ago. I ended up with 3 surgeries on my right hand in 11 weeks (with 6 horses on my own yard).

I got on with it and still do (thumb and wrist splints for heavy work) but it depends on what the surgeon says and what the MRI comes back with how debilitated you will find yourself.
 
[that sounds nasty, hopefully mine wont be as severe. Will be getting mri and seeing specialist next wk....... Lesson tomoro on the lunge with no reins , wrist is in splint so is totally immobile:(
