And some non-contact sports.
3 months ago, broke my wrists playing tennis. Snapped both bones... 6 weeks later, I was told; "In 4 weeks you can play contact sports again."
I wait 5.
And then, about a minute into a football match, pain searing through my wrist, looking considerably shorter, I'm thinking s**t.
Now, 4 days after that, I have 3 metal wires sticking into my arm, and a hugely big cast up to my elbow.
No contact sports for a year, either. Which sucks.
I love contact sports. And non-contact sports...

I can only imagine they'd never played before and confused those small round furry objects with a small bowling ball.
How does one break their wrists playing tennis?
I love sports. Except for swimming, which isn't even a sport.
Anyway, point is I've been playing very competitive rugby for years and have never come away with worse than back pains. Like wise with football and cricket.
I'm a pretty physical guy when it comes to sports. I play all the hard man roles where being strong and fit helps. Central mid, prop/back row, pace bowler. Quite simply accidents happen when people like you come up against people like me. I've broken a guys arm before. It wasn't trying to, it just happened. I felt no remorse nor glee. Similarly I rained in 5 bouncers in 1 over, breaking a finger and seriously bruising the chest back and thigh of one guy. Sport isn't fun if there isn't a competitive edge. One way to gain an advantage is to be stronger and more physical.
Sorry I've given no kind words, and no, I'm not a driven freak, but these things happen. Injuries don't always come from contact, but when they do, it isn't always malicious.
I will say you have the right to be pisssed off though. I know how annoying missing sport is. I've struggled through many a tweaked muscle to play footie with the lads.

Like they say in the Soccer A.M All Sports Show on Sky Sports:
Sport hurts
Sport hurts
"a friend", "err....yes books", "Thats what i want him for, carrying his books yes".
Coin do you have a bone condition? It must be incredibly rare to break both wrists playing tennis. I play a lot of contact sport and have never broken a bone, would devestate me if i did, couldn't bare to be out that long.

That's rough but did I read it right? You orginally broke both wrists?
No consolation I know but a friend on mine took up tennis recently. Bought an expensive racket and played for exactly 20 minutes before ending up smashing something in his foot. He's still on crutches but I hope to god he's off them before we go back to uni. I don't want to have to carry his books :)
I fancied taking up tennis but don't think I'll bother. Sounds far too dangerous and anyway I broke a bone in my foot after playing badminton for 30 mins. Never been near any kind of court since.
