Fortunately for me when i fell off the horse i instantly went into shock and adreniline (sp?) kicked in so i didn't feel much pain, it was weird though because i knew my arm was broken but it didnt hurt just felt really heavy. It was scary when i couldnt wiggle my fingers for a couple of days after my surgery, i still cant bend my little finger, sometimes my fingers seize and i can't move them at all so thats always fun haha.
