recently broken my wrists!?

I broke both my wrists in a motorbike racing accident at Cadwell Park 6 weeks ago. I only do it as a hobby and would like to get back on. However my right wrist has very limited movement. Does anyone know any exercises I can do to regain the movement. Seriously. No stupid answers

Answers:
you ask even stranger questions! gosh (!), thats tragic about your wrists, sounds very painful! You need a nice young lady to rub some deep heat on them at least twice a day, that should do the trick.

your wrist being imobile will mean you need to re educate your wrist to move properly,

gentle stretching is best
Oh my! See a doctor! My friend was involved in an accident too and he's now wearing a metal thing when he bowls. It can be serious.. so better have it checked.
just revolve it
I think you would be better speaking to an Osteopath or Physio first. Any exercises that you start doing could upset your bodies natural repairing ability.
the best thing to do is get back on the bike, and get your sliders back on the tarmac
Best person to ask is a physical therapist, they have exercises on sheets of paper. You can pin it on your wall next to your bed so you can follow the steps before you get out of bed, that way your wrist and muscles will get a good workout before you get out of bed and start your day.
im surprised the hospital didnt giv eyou a leaflet showing you what movements to do. Give them a ring and ask if they have one.
Yup, ask a doctor - you'll be much better off if you are shown proper physiotherapy excercises by a professional which you can then use at home, I'm sure it will depend on the type of break and how it is healing.

Try using stress balls. They are really great exercise for the wrists hon, they help me , I crunched discs in my cervical spine and its effected my left arm and hand severely but I use this every day otherwise my hand would seize up altogether.
Rossi used a powerball when he broke his wrist

try erm..rolling your wrist ;)
I did the exact same thing. don't worry the movement does come back eventually. just takes a while through being immobile for so long.
I did the finger thing where you touch each finger in turn with your thumb then back (ie 1234321234321).
I also got a powerball, check them out on youtube, they're awesome for building up strength and kinda cool too

bear in mind that the bones will have only just fully healed and your plasters have only just come off, if it persists go to your doctor and he'll put you in the right direction
OH! I am so sorry.You should really get all your muscles straightened and a liitle more of a massage will do.
the best thing for you is to keep it mobile as mush as is not painful and try to see a physio they will give you an individual program
I did the same thing, broke my right wrist and several bones in my hand, the result..my 3rd & 4th metacarpal bones fused together whilst healing meaning my hand doesn't flex in ways that it should and my wrist doesn't bend forwards or backwards as much as it should either (basically its fcuked!).

You can do a few different excercises but the best thing to do is get some physio, if you have to pay then so be it but you need to sort it before its too late.

If you leave it then your wrists will heal as they are and you will never get back full movement and if it heals like mine, riding a bike for me is difficult and painfull on long journeys.
Speak to a physiotherapist. They will know the best sort of exercise.
