@@amalsvijay8338 it was slightly. Overall I did have to get surgery. Terrible thing was none of the doctors caught I had a dislocated wrist. So it healed wrong on the fracture which ultimately made them have to rebreak the bone. 🥲. But I’m better now with mild limitations. I can still ride my bike though so that’s good 👍🏾
