Sailing Injury - Apart from all the usual bruises suffered when teaching kids in Mirrors, would have to be cutting my head open on my Laser gunnel in a F6 gusting to an 8 trying to right the damn thing. Ended up abandoning my capsized (stuck in mud) boat to be taken to shore for someone else to rescue my boat! 5 min in A + E and I was glued up. Other injuries - tore my cruiciate (sp) ligament at the age of 7 (same as Gazza) and its bloody painful. |

ok, fair enough. would you say try to keep the thumb still as thats near the bone, or the finger? or just the wrist area? or everything? and what to use for strapping as im not going to wait 4hours to see a doctor/nurse type person. would a thick tubigrip be ok? |

but whats the point in strapping up my hand? the bone in question doesnt really move unless you grip something tightly which i cant do because its to painfull. it just really hurts and i have pain shooting down my little finger aswell. very odd feeling. |

Judging by fingers they normally strap them up so i guess it would be the same????

fractured a bone in my hand (one thaat goes from wrist to finger). did it whilst playing rugby today one of my friends did his 3weeks ago and its still swollen. i can use my hand etc, just hurts a lot. so will have a few paracenamols before racing this weekend. real bummer though as its my left hand and so changing gear while driving f***ing KILLS is it better to keep moving it to retain ease of movement after its healed or to try and strap it up to keep it still while it heals? |

Best one was last May: a gust got the boat to gybe and my head was unfortunately on the way, ending up with a very decorative black eye
 Ah well, these things happen...A few days later, I had to take the little one to the doctor's for a cough/earache. The doc examined my girl and wrote a prescription rather rapidly, then looked at me with concern, gestured towards her own eye and said to me, in a soothing voice: "Do you want to talk about it?" When I explained it was a sailing-related injury, she said she'd believe me. No one in their right mind would try and explain traces of domestic violence like that! Mind you, she didn't see my SECOND black eye of the year, last September. A boat cut me up at the gybe mark and capsized on top of me: black eye, blood and concussion. It was a cracker!
