Broken thumb

[Brickwall19]

So i broke my right thumb a month ago and now i just got my cast off and about to head out to John hopkins for champ camp.

one problem my wrist hurts to move and i have three days to make it stop. Any suggestions on how?

and should i switch to left hand and play goalie like that i tryed it today in my backyard its not bad i can throw left handed and it doesnt cause pain.


SO TLF come together and help me

just take a lot of advil and you'll be fine. It would do nothing but benefit you to play lefty. I played lefty when i jammed my thumb so bad i could barely scqueeze my stick. Now i'm trying to incorperate that into my game

i would draw the line at throwing lefty, i wouldnt get in the cage off hand at any camp, let alone a champ camp

i mean i already paid 375 dollars and i havent went to any tourneys yet so its the last recruiting i can get in

I say advil, don't play lax til camp, and get one of those gel things you squeeze. It probably hurts to move your wristt because your muscle deteriorates when you have a cast on because you can't use it. So if you get one of the gel squeeze things you can rebuild the muscle.

If it still hurts to much when you go to camp, just tell the coaches what happened and that you're playing all lefty. They'll understand and probably give you props.

yeah i mean i would get a stress ball and just like demon said and then when you get there make the decision after the first time u step in. if you can move it and it hurts to bad play lefty but otherwise id stay righty. and take teh stress ball with you and use it all day when you not playin games so maybe you could get it back to normal for atleast some of the games

Wrap it before games, to give it some extra support. If it hurts too much, I wouldn't play @ all, because taking the risk of it getting broken again or messed up worse is too much for a summer camp, even if it's a recruiting camp. And unless you've done it before, don't play with your off hand, you'll look goofy. I mean, they're there to RECRUIT people, they don't know how good you are with your good hand, and why would they take a chance with some kid who they haven't really seen play healthy and stuff?

If I were you, I'd go to the camp, and either play throug the pain playing with your good hand, or I'd not play at all, and send out tapes of game film to coaches, because then they'll be able to see how you really play.

well if its your last chance to get noticed just take loads of Ibprofen(SP?) and take the pain.
