update; I had surgery on the arm to install 3 plates to fix the head of the left distal radius which was fractured into 4+ pieces. one plate across the back of my hand will be removed in s few months. left arm out of commission for 12 weeks. wishfully thinking my back is getting better quickly.

I only got one titanium plate but 11 screws to hold all the pieces together.
 
Tuesday nite was hell, slept fairly well last nite , waking like clockwork for the meds. I have one of them cubic sponge braces and it is great. thanks for the support guys
 
Hopefully they get you on some good meds to ignore that so you can sleep better.
 
Damn man. Hate that you're hurtin'. Take it easy, heal up, and we'll see you in no time.
 
sadly it seems like muscle atrophy is becoming an issue. I do some things but it wears on me......all in all it could be much worse
 
Use it as much as you can. flexibility, range of motion are paramount. if you can keep the atrophy to a minimum and not let the scar tissue fuse, you'll be better off in the long run.

Best of luck
 
so...for the gory details...basically I fell from 10 feet up, had one foot on the roof and one on the ladder when the ladder slid out...I landed on a slick deck . one leg, ass and wrist took the impact. knocked the wind out of me and thought i might have lost bowel control. kinda rolled onto the ground and crawled a bit to stretch my spine and get my lungs back.. rolled onto my back and new it was bad....

then I managed to spend all day in the ER...X rays, MRI, CT scans...some morphine, some fentanyl, and they stretched this back into line.

xrays next week to see how my back is healing, right now pain is minimal...

Please tell me this is from one fall. I read your earlier post (other thread) and thought you had another fall. Either way... gruesome dude. Get well soon.

Ouch! Hope the healing goes well and you are back in full swing quickly.
