I fell about 40 feet the only thing that happened with cuts and bruises aside, was my entire wrist located. all tendons severed, and my lunate found its way to the top of my palm. I am now finishing with physical therapy but am being told that I will probably never bench press or do pushups again. major bummer I power lift for fitness and hobby. Could the doctors be covering their ***-ets, has any one else gone through something similar some inspirational words would do wonders for a man who does not want to give up what he loves.

The doctors are not covering their asses. There is a high likelihood that you will not be able to participate in bench presses and pushups. However, there's no limit to what the human body coupled with human will and determination can do. DON'T GIVE UP! Work with a sports physiotherapist and you just may suprise a few people.

stick with what the PT says...if you're going to lift anyways make sure you have full range of motion with NO PAIN!! then start so light...seriously 1 pound!!! ... but there's a lot of different exercises and lifting you can do besides pushups and bench press to work out your chest...
