I broke my wrist twice when I was young. Well actually I broke my left wrist once, and my right wrist once. I had a full on cast when I was 5, and I have always had terrible hand writing. I read somewhere once if you break a bone in your wrist your handwriting will be bad as the range of motion in your wrist is limited. See, it wasn't me!!! lol...

A whole arm must have been awful..the wrist was bad enough. I still remember how wrinkly, pale and itchy my lower arm was when they took off the cast. I must have itched my arm for 10 minutes.

@TiarasOceanView I tripped over a sandbox with my arm behind me. I was backing away from my neighbor, because he was swiinging close by and I thought he might kick me in the face. In retrospect, I probably would have been less injured with the face kick..

I have broken my right wrist in high school but I still have very good handwriting, always have. I hated when I broke it because I couldn't write and I loved writing! All of my classmates thought I was so lucky because it got me out of homework and school work for a bit but I hated not writing. I was doing gymnastics when I broke my wrist.

Maybe it was because I was so young when I broke it. My roommate said he broke his hand a few times..and his writing is horrible too.

@snowy22315 Yeah that is probably why because at that age your really just learning how to write.

I had minor breaks (a hairline fracture of a rib so slight they had to do a nuclear CT to find it), but I didn't break anything major until I was 54...then I broke my ankle.

My dad broke his ankle once...just kind of breaking through a small pile of wood. He hated that because he couldn't golf.

@snowy22315 Yes, it was very painful and from that day my elbow hurts every time it's going to rain.

This hasn't happened to me yet, hoping it won't happen in the future.
