Fell Off A Roof

Ok as crazy and critisizing this will be im going to ask
3 Years ago i fell off a 4 story building into a main road
I broke somebone and got a shock-something... etc
Everything is fine now but my left wrist joint is still less strong than the right one
what i feel is that it can bear less pressure than the right hand (not by a far mile though)
And was thinking is this normal for a joint break?
I can still make it make sounds if i want to (the ex-broken wrist joint)

Was just thinking
Will this go after a couple of years or is it impossible for a broken joint to go back to 100% normal?

I thought broken bones usually grow back stronger?

The thread title made me laugh, the idea of someone falling off a roof then going to TSR for advise was humorous. A few years ago I jumped off the roof of my house and messed my left foot up, now it starts to hurt if I strain it too much. Usually it only gets sore when I am snowboarding or when I do a lot of walking.

Only in the case of Wayne Rooney's metatarsal...

supposedly bone doesnt actually grow back over fractures but rather some kind of fibrous matrix. i think it's a myth that bone grows back stronger, although i wish it were true as im dredding the day i brake my nose again.

I fell off a roof and broke my wrist. Told the doctors and parents I fell off a bike and got some very odd looks from the medical staff

Are you sure you only fell from your bike, not higher?

Parents still don't know to this day :smile:

Not that it helps with your queyr!

Can't it take up to 7 years for a bone to fully heal?

I cracked my ribs (granted, I didn't break them) 10 years ago, and they are still quite sensitive...

I don't know why, but everytime I look down the list and see this "i fell off a roof" topic, I just laugh.

I think it's because it's mixed in with all these topics about sex, and orgasming in their sleep, people wanting to get fit, and then theres this completely random topic.

and its not nice especially when i am wrestling with my friends i have to stop them for my hand
