Just got back from A&E having snapped one of the tendons in my right hand, so it look like I've got a couple of shit weeks of doing nothing ahead of me.

EDIT turned out to be a ligament not a tendon, still it made an impressive cracking noise.

How did you do that?

A furious act of masterbation?

I did something similar at work a few years ago. Had to push a fast moving, large piece of scenery away from a lighting tower, my hand slipped and I over extended the ligaments in my wrist. I was out of action for months :(

Get better soon

Don’t take it off what ever you do.

If you fall over you will try to break your fall and it will go snap again.

How long you out of action for? Ids take a guess at around 6 weeks they have advised without work.

Don't know how long I'll be out of action for, I'm booked into see a specialist Monday morning, I'm actually worried that I got an appointment that quickly. I work in an office so it doesn't effect work (I can type quite happily, use the phone & go to meetings with only one hand) where it's real screwing me is my life outside of work, pretty much no working on the car & no sports.

I've a feeling it'll be a gradual recovery, taking quite a few months based on when I knackered my achilles tendon, and will never be 100% again.

Saw the specialist this morning, one off the few benefits of living next door to a major trauma clinic and it would appear that my Volar Plate is now only connected at one end so I'm not allowed to do anything with it until after Xmas :(

Indeed, it could be a sign

Put your hand up in the air to them and walk away
