It sucks. I broke my radius and ulna close to the wrist on my left hand. It involved several months of a cast, then a hard splint, then a soft splint, and finally physical therapy. The best part after the injury occurred was looking down at my arm and seeing it in an "S" shape. At the same time I chipped my tooth... after it bit straight through my lower lip. The damn thing is still numb... Plus my jaw pops whenever I eat something remotely firm . I kissed pavement pretty hard.
