That must have been very painful. Hope you have a speedy recovery.

SMN · 10 May 2012 at 08:07

Vanilla · 10 May 2012 at 08:39

hmmm actually.

'Nigeria'.

'Working offshore on an oil rig'

'injured'

When do you claim to be a prince and start asking for monies?

Unicorn · 10 May 2012 at 08:41

Next he will open a moneygram account and become some Nigerian warlord ;D

Hope for ur speedy recovery

Wow now THATS a break.

I am currently (STILL) recovering from a leg/ankle break. I hope your recovery is a pain free as mine and you are back at work soon

Hades · 10 May 2012 at 08:47

Ouch. And more ouch. That does look painful. How did you do it?

It's the random aches you get for a year or two afterwards that cheesed me off when I broke my leg.

That is just about what the Orthopaedic consultant said yesterday. The bones are quite mobile still.

Marky · 10 May 2012 at 09:20

Ouch that looks pretty gruesome

Hope you recover quickly

Or even longer :/ I broke bones in my hand 18 years ago and I started getting proper aches over the last winter or 2.

Good luck with the recovery OP!

Have you reached the stage yet where your arm starts turning every colour of the rainbow?

Tobeornottobe · 10 May 2012 at 09:59

Yes, and my hand is grossly swollen

Skillmister · 10 May 2012 at 09:59

Seriously impressive break. Bet that felt interesting

DanTheMan · 10 May 2012 at 10:04

I don't think I've ever actually seen a break above the elbow before. Well played.
