i broke my 4th and 5th metacarple and chipped my wrist on my right hand in may of last year. i was in 2 different casts totaling 6 weeks and i lost around 12 pounds and 2 inches off bicepts and about 2 1/2 off chest. i kept with the protein and aminos to help heal my hand faster and not lose as much but it was still horrible considering i'm right handed (i.e. couldn't write, shower very good, lift, etc... good thing my girlfriend helped or i would have been totally screwed)

I lost about 10lbs, I think it took me a month or two to gain it all back. But I never went to the Dr. so I didn't get a cast.

it took me probably about 6 months to gain it back and get bigger
