Injures

[colourville 17]

Hey guys as some of you know recently had a bad fall. Broken wrist,5 broken ribs n punctured lung. Jst wondering if anyone had similar injuries n how long it took you to recover. I'm 6 weeks in n still really struggling to get about. If I walk for 10 mins I'm completely out of breath. Hate been stuck in as always been mega active. I don't drive n walk everywhere

No idea with the lung but the wrist will be at least 6 weeks and the ribs another 2. I broke 4 ribs (2 flail but no puntured lung) and I think it was 9 weeks before I rode. Sounds like a nasty fall

No idea about the lung, It all sounds massively painful, give it time. I recently dislocated my shoulder and at the same time fractured the top of the humorous. My physio says that bones knit and are hard in 6-8 weeks but not strong enough for a fall until 12 weeks. I'm at 8 weeks and it's still sore, impossible to tell if that's due to the dislocation or fracture. Make sure you're getting enough calcium.

Yes agree, longer sadly. My OH broke his ribs and it seemed more like 10 weeks before he stopped whinging! He usually forgets things pretty quickly so it must have been pretty painful.

Hope you are better soon

Can’t really advise but sorry to hear you’re injured.

Ribs are very painful and take ages to heal and that is without a punctured lung.

Ribs hurt so much. I broke 6 a couple of years ago & they took forever to stop hurting. Sending speedy healing vibes.

You ve gotta go with the flow of very slow healing and be patient because there are lots of us on here who pushed through injuries..breaks and fractures because horsey people do…and in all honesty if we d taken things a bit slower we wouldn’t have lasting after effects. Muscles, tendons are bruised, stretched and damaged too and the softer tissue takes a while to repair so go easy on yourself…and you will feel better..soonish
