Broken Wrist

[minimba]

You should be fine to cycle once your wrist is out of plaster (but do check with the doctor for specific advice)
Don't be surprised if you find your wrist aches considerably for a month or two and with this in mind, it is worth considering altering height and angle of your handlebars to reduce weight on your wrist when cycling. It may also be helpful to adjust the brake position to reduce wrist flexion. While on the subject of brakes, check that you can achieve a full emergency stop.

To be honest, I am more surprised that you are planning to cycle so soon after your hysterectomy - so I hope you discussed this with your surgeon?

Thanks - the hyst. went really well and to be honest Ive had more pain/problems with the wrist!!! Cast off now (1 week on) and Ive been out once. Wrist hurt, hyst. didnt!!!! Im going to give it a week or so (well - at least until I decide on which new bike to buy!)

Well I guessed the wrist would hurt and I am glad that the hyst hasn't caused you any problems.

Good to hear your recovering. Just be sure to exercise it and it will be back to normal in no time at all

I can't imagine breaking my wrist
