Note
I've had the injury box ticked for just under 6 months, and...
I'm going to click the recovered box, even though I'm not 100%. The bones have been healed since around the beginning of June, but the doctor says, and my wrist pain confirms, that the ligaments will take very long to completely recover. He says I can expect to have aches during low-pressure systems for years. The main injury is a ligament that attaches to my triquetral bone (aka triquetrum). It might be the LT ligament. And then I have 2 more areas that are less a problem, one in the middle top of my wrist (in line with my middle finger).
Wisdom:
If you think it might be broken, splint first and then go to the doctor. This is the second time I've seen a possible break and didn't splint it (once on someone else's break, and once for my own break). It will feel a million times better if you splint it.
I had a custom built brace made from a white plastic called Orthoplast (which is a term like Bandaid). It wasn't too expensive (after insurance), and it fit better than any other store-bought brace I tried---and I tried every one I could find---maybe 6 or 8 different braces. The custom brace was more comfortable and it worked better---a lot better, not just a little bit.
One of the reasons my brace fit really well was because I made some modifications to it. Mostly I just drilled holes in it to allow sweat to get out. It was extremely wet in one spot from the start, and it was all wet when I started to run. Seriously---either drill holes or get someone else to do it. The holes made it very comfortable. I also changed the velcro to smaller widths that let air in better. I also did a few mods in areas that rubbed badly, but I could have just taken it in and the specialists would do free fit adjustments.
I've really slacked off on workouts. I haven't logged actual orienteering in months. I really need to get back in the habit of logging.
