I had my arm broken yesterday - specifically my right ulna, near the wrist. I've never broken anything before and I'm feeling well miserable about it. I don't yet know how long I'll have the cast on for so I can't plan getting back into training (I train in reality based self defence), and I'm worried it's going to be weak for ages. I'm very right handed and would use a palm heel strike from my right as my preferred strike nearly all the time. I suppose it will be good to train a bit with my weaker arm, but at the moment I'm feeling really pissed off and slightly pathetic - it was broken by the police who then arrested me and wouldn't take me to hospital for 7 hours, so there's a fair bit of self-pity-wallowing going on generally.
The bone wasn't fully snapped - I've got the x-ray and can't work out where the fracture is - so I'm hoping it will heal quickly. If anyone could suggest how long it would be before I'll be able to use my arm properly again, that's be really good to know. Also any general advice or positivity would be really appreciated and thoughts on training with a break.
