Here it is December 3, and I am sitting on the couch loaded with Ibuprofin again trying to deal with the swelling (which has gone down), the stiffness, wrist pain, and soreness. Of course, after the crash, biking was over for me for the season. I tried to go to spin classes a couple weeks ago, but the hand hurt so much during the class I haven't been back.

I am going to be 60 and wonder how long i will be before the hand is back to normal so I can ride again???? Any advice on how I can make sure I am healed up before spring? I live in Minnesota so riding is pretty much out until for me until late April
