Seems I got lucky with mine after reading these! Fractured mine skateboarding, the classic "skatephoid." Backside tail slide went wrong, wrist went back, ow. 4 cans of lager and some paracetamol seemed to cure it for a bit, then did the exact same thing a few hours later. Time for hospital, and if anyone's visited the JR in Oxford they'll know it's not uncommon to be X-rayed and told "You're fine, go home"
Show the x-Ray to my Mum, an ex-nurse, who took one look and pointed out a very obvious hairline crack and sent me straight back. They gave me a wrist brace and said to not skate for a bit. I've lost about 50% of the movement in it but it doesn't give me any problems.
