Got my first ride in yesterday evening. Went to the trails despite it being a bit damp... mapped out about a 10 mile climbing route, tried to minimize the technical stuff as the hand is pretty week and large hits are still painful.

Anyway... attached photo 48 hours after injury vs how it looks now. Almost back to normal. Also cool trail pic that I found in my phone just for kicks.

Man, i've been working on my hand. Ever since i fractured it, it's been tingling. My ring and pinky finger go numb. I haven't had a chance to start riding yet. Still too much snow. I have been squeezing a foam ball. Sucks. My hands must've been way stronger than i thought from all of the DH riding. My hand is extra week. I can barely open up a 2 liter bottle of coke. Can't get a good enough grip with my ring and pinky finger.

I guess it was expected. I was in a splint for 8 weeks.

At least your hand is doing better.

Well you broke yours so I cant really relate... but I know I can't open a bottle of OJ with my left hand yet.
