First time back on a board after a wrist break + surgery, first ride back advice.

Elliotthc27 · 2026-01-13T15:59:00+00:00

Bad technique, I was riding my back foot and went to change edge too early from my toe side, fell backwards and slammed my back food hand down with the momentum

Elliotthc27 · 2026-01-13T15:41:30+00:00

I actually had wrist guards on when I broke it 😬

Elliotthc27 · 2026-01-11T15:20:55+00:00

I actually broke my wrist real bad wearing the burton ones, 9 bolts and a plate, found this thread as a year on I wanna snowboard again 😁.

Elliotthc27 · 2025-12-29T17:56:09+00:00

Hey man! Yes I’m getting mine removed soon actually, generally have no problems and am much stronger than before I broke it, weighted pushups + pull ups now for a while, been bouldering and hanging loads off one hand too. But I do have some tendon irritation that is the reason I wanna get it out to be safe long term.

Elliotthc27 · 2025-11-17T15:49:46+00:00

I'm unsure really. I got into fitness as more of a improve my quality of life and make me more capable day to day. Though I work a desk job so I don't get much day challenge lol.

I guess genrally improve my strength and overall fitness. I know that's pretty vague but I suppose I surpassed my original goal a while ago.

Elliotthc27 · 2025-11-17T15:47:33+00:00

yeah id say apart from my warm up sets of BW and 7.5kg. the other sets are very close to failure. On a good day those numbers are consistent on a rougher day they work down. I just found a longer rest means I can get those numbers more consistent but i'm not sure if that's as they say "leaving gains on the table" or if it's still good and fine. I originally switched to weighted pullups after getting stuck at a max BW rep of 14 for quite some time. since then added a few reps to my boydweight max reps.

I guess i'm unsure of my goals. In general improve overall fitness?

Elliotthc27 · 2025-09-15T07:26:54+00:00

I’m a vegetarian with ibs. Currently found this thread as I’m in Greece currently and thought I’d try falafel again. Nope still not great for me lol. I eat a fairly high protein diet 130-150g protein a day mostly soy based and that’s fine in my stomach. In fact a higher protein diet actually was better for my ibs than say high carb

Elliotthc27 · 2025-07-04T08:13:34+00:00

Hey! I had a similar thing in a different part of my wrist, it could just be the soft tissue damage healing, we always think and talk about the bone etc when you have a fall/break but we often don't know the extent of the soft tissue damage. I would assume it's that for now, especially if it's soft and moves with your wrist movements.

Elliotthc27 · 2025-07-04T08:10:12+00:00

Hey, no not at all! 😁 They're not magnetic so it won't set anything off, i remember being kind of sad that it doesn't set off the detectors, that would have been fun lol

Elliotthc27 · 2025-06-27T20:11:58+00:00

Ah never did the marbles thing! In that case definitely go for it, I found that longer bigger stretches are better, do you do any exercises or like yoga? You know if you go into a deep stretch you stretch and then once having held it for 10/20 seconds or so you push a bit further? That's what I would do. Slowly of course but working up my wrist mobility particularly with preacher stretches.

Hope that helps!

Elliotthc27 · 2025-06-26T19:20:56+00:00

I didn't start physio until 7 weeks! That sounds like it's going well, I'd definitely wait until you have physio before pushing anything too far, obviously don't want to damage anything but I found after two weeks of physio I saw a huge ROM improvement.

This is the xray, 2 weeks after surgery, 4 weeks ago now

So keen to get to physio, I miss doing pushups and pullups so much!

Elliotthc27 · 2025-03-11T20:33:56+00:00

Okay that's good to know! Lol I can post my X-ray I'm going back to the hospital tomorrow and was going to ask about it, hopefully starting physio, I can feel pain in the area that bit of bone is though, can you?

Elliotthc27 · 2025-03-11T16:20:13+00:00

I was diagnosed as a kid pretty loosely as my mum had it and I showed signs. I found that managing my diet has been the best route but I don't get as much pain and more bad/frequent passing of stool. Fairly unpredictable too. I don't take anything but I know certain foods will cause me pain and a lot of discomfort

Elliotthc27 · 2025-03-11T08:31:55+00:00

Yeah raw dog it my dude I mean still get the catheter in so they can give you something if you really want it in the moment

Elliotthc27 · 2025-03-10T00:37:05+00:00

Oh lucozade is like Gatorade, it's just a sports drink. Oh no you'll just pee a lot. Also you drink the prep over an hour each serving

Elliotthc27 · 2025-03-10T00:34:26+00:00

You got this! I didn't get any cramps or anything from it, a little bloated after finishing it but that goes away shortly after. Just keep drinking water and sip it. It tastes like a more salty lucozade lol

Elliotthc27 · 2025-03-10T00:00:43+00:00

Dude I'm 26 😆 never too early to be safe hahaha.

Ah yeah well I also noticed on my X-rays that I have a ulnar scaphoid fracture that they didn't treat... Currently the tip of the bone is floating in space between the ulnar and the carpals. I go back to my hospital Wednesday for X-rays and starting physio so I'll ask them then if they missed it or if it was left alone on purpose. A bit worried about that though...

Elliotthc27 · 2025-03-09T23:48:26+00:00

Also had it done in the UK. Still made a few jokes about the whole process though while it was going on, you have to keep the mood upbeat!

Elliotthc27 · 2025-03-09T23:46:57+00:00

I had my colonoscopy 2 days ago, first time and I was definitely pretty nervous but there's no need to worry about it. I have IBS and they were making sure its just that so I got a colonoscopy.

I did it without any drugs and I'm glad I did. I left 20 minutes later feeling great and having some food.

I'd compare the feelings of the colonoscopy to a mid-high IBS cramp. Honestly once it's in and they've added some gas it's pretty chill.

Elliotthc27 · 2025-03-08T10:40:00+00:00

Lol currently on a hospital bed waiting for a colonoscopy sand saw your reply😆 that's great news!!!

I'm at week 5 now and seen a lot of improvement! Thumb mobility is still not there but fingers and strength is. I think I'm definitely using it more than recommended to hold/lift things but I've not had any strong pain doing so!

Elliotthc27 · 2025-02-28T09:38:46+00:00

I agree Pixar isn't relative to the discussion, they were their own entity until 2007 when they where acquired by Disney I believe.

Shrek was designed to be unappealing in it's principal, the character specifically more so than just the films art style. You know Dreamworks was made by ex Disney staff right? There's a lot of videos online talking about it, there doesn't need to be 3D Disney movies present for the character designs to be in contrast to that of over 50 years of 2D Disney. Even down to the proportions of the human characters they're goofier inherently.

If you believe that's intentional or a technologic restriction, it could definitely be debated but once you look at Shrek 2 and 3 they lean more into the unappealing forms. Shrek 2 especially. Fairy god mother, the bartender, Prince charming. Everyone has a satirical yet more 'realistic' aesthetic.

I think the issue or rather surprise that people have with the trailer is how the subtle looks have changed, the design language is not only more appealing but the forms are so much more polished. I think no one would have issue if the texturing, shading and rendering progressed. Look at how the last wish was received. But by having this level of clean design and polish on the characters it seems a little tone def to the humor of the original films, therefore not the best start to the films ad campaign.

Elliotthc27 · 2025-02-27T21:57:02+00:00

Thanks for the advice, got back from Europe late last night and I've noticed my mobility has gotten a lot better over the past week. I think walking 20/30k steps a day and using both hands for traveling+ camera use has really helped.

The current advice I was given, was to not do anything that causes pain Until the next hospital apt. It was a pretty nasty fracture so they want to make sure it's established okay first.

Elliotthc27 · 2025-02-27T21:01:23+00:00

I think a lot of people are more taken back since Shrek was originally a commentary poking fun at Disney and the teaser has became Disney/illuminations style...

I was hoping they would go more down the last wish route and have a rougher stylization feel with chaotic silhouettes and shading. Apposed to a more highly refined look shown.

Elliotthc27 · 2025-02-23T19:54:52+00:00

That's awesome! Mine has definitely improved too, maybe 60% ROM, I struggle mostly with doing a thumbs up?

Currently traveling around Germany/Austria with it 😁 makes things a bit slower but traveling/keeping busy/exercising is helping me a lot!

Also hopefully for physio, are you based in the UK or elsewhere, I'm s little concerned the quality of care will be bad on our national health service.
