Fredwina - So sorry about your broken bone. I broke my radius ice skating back in winter '03. It was relatively minor, compared w/your break. Just a sling--no cast, splint, etc. I started moving it right away so I didn't lose any mobility (heard horror stories). Hurt like a Dickens and I was thankful for my high tolerance for pain -- wouldn't accept pain meds from the doc. Just turning my hand was enough to make my eyes tear up.

It's a good thing you've been started on PT already.
