Breaking/injuring wrists?

[awesomecuber150]

Just wonder how many people have broken or injured there wrist.
I would like to know how you guys did and how or if you still cube.

I just injury my wrist yesterday from spinning off a bike... And all I got hurt my my wrist. I think it's just sprained or something minor.

i broke my lower arm when i was 11. the misalignment of the bones can give me some probables when i cube. i have carpel tunnel syndrome so whenever it starts to act up i just wear a wrist brace and still cube. whatever problems i have with my hands, i usually solve through the pain.

Broken both arms and both hands all on separate occasions. Skating, messing around and being drunk. Once they heal up they are fine. Supposedly bones are stronger where you break them once they've healed properly.

You can always practice feet solving if you hurt your hands.

I broke my wrist for the 4th time about 7 months ago. It did affect cubing... But I just did OH it will be fine. Just in the meantime, do something else with the cube

Oh, man that sucks. Do you use the qwerty keyboard and does it give you any troubles? I use dvorak it's alot more comfortable but if you have an iphone then... they don't have that keyboard (which is lame)

Lol, didn't think of that one! I thought about one hand but not feet.

i use a qwert keybord, but i have a weird way of typing. i use my middle and index finger (sometimes my thumb) and my hands just move allover the keyboard. so my hands are never in a uncomfortable typing position.

Ah, I would look into dvorak tho! But it might not be worth it for you. I don't know it's just preference I guess.

No I have never broken or sprained my wrist.

But back when I use to self injure, after one incident I couldn't cube comfortably for a month or so.

I remember when I was at a competition I heard someone say that he used to have a habit of solving with his wrists pressed hard against the edge of the table, and that it caused some of his fingers to be paralyzed , when he went to the doctor he said it would heal after a few weeks and it did.

i screwed up my hand playing lacrosse in gym class, was hit with someones stick. i probably just hairline fractured it so it wont really affect my cubing.

Lucky... That it wasn't a true break.

I broke my left arm right after I learned how to cube, so I did a bunch of OH solves for about a month before I was able to start seriously speedcubing. That's probably why my right hand has always been my strongest for OH. It was kind of funny seeing all the peoples expressions when they saw me cubing with a cast on.
