Anyone broken their coxsic(sp) bone before???

Had a corker of a crash yesterday, doing a rather large jump and didn't quite land it. Fell hard on a tree root on my left ass cheek which is bruised to hell. Im struggling to walk, sit back, get up, hurts when I cough etc..... I've been told that if I can still sit that I've only bruised it??

[Reptileman]

Damn straight!!!

If you had of broken your coxic you wouldnt be able to move or sit thats for sure.

Not from personal experience, but from a mate that did it at work.

I hope it's just bruised then, everything just a bit of a challenge, getting up and sitting down. but after I had the stack, we still rode about 30 km(few beers along the way to numb the pain).

Just VERY sore and stiff today, plus one very bloody wrist to elbow graze!!

Got to love a good story!!

Dude i only fractured mine and it hurt like hell!!
If you broke it then you would sure know about it!!!
Maybe your cheek is all that really hurts, if it was your coxic bone it would hurt all over and be the kind of pain that would make it hard to sit still for long. Or even walk!!!

[Mad Dog]

Thanks for that guys, makes me feel a lot better. Everyone's been saying to me that it's broken. But it mainly hurts when sitting down(once sitting not bad at all), standing up BIG time, but I can still walk etc with only minimal pain!

The bruise on my ass is spectacular enough to win a prize in the FHM readers photo section, and it's not even 24 hours since I did it. Ha!

[josh_lives_here]

yeh ive done it......its surprising how mutch a little bone in your ass can restrict your movement so mutch when its broken.

[big_pete]

Haha it hurts like hell when I was like 10 or something I had a stack on my skatey thought I'd broke my coxics (sp.) but I'd just given me ass a nice bruising...

Yes. I broke mine 2wice in one ski season. I came off this really big off camber hip on a Downhill course and lost balance in the air and nailed myself in to a fence. The break was't a terible one but it was borderline break and fracture.3weeks later after, still skiing every weekend in between, after the break had just started to knit, guess what i did. Well i snaped it in the same place. I miss read the speed i needed to take this step down drop 15ft and the second one was only 10. A pic will explain what happened better. I basicaly langed on the very ege of the second 10ft cliff and double ejected and fell done the not quite verticle cliff banging into heaps of shit. This time it hurt so much i was sidooed out. I was in bed for the next week due mainly to the consusion it was really very boreing. 4 weeks later i was skiing in the Buller cup on the same course that started the ball roling on the whole thing. I did one run in much pain and the second in much pain and didnt ski for another week. It sucked so bad but the weather was shit.

(the white is snow and the greay/ black are cliff faces)

Yes i can under stand the pain. It Hurst! lol Nick

Nice Diagram..... glutton for punishment, I like it!!!!

Well it's not Broken, just a killer bruise, kinda like a horse shoe an inch wide all round the base of my ass cheek. Now all the blood is starting to drain towards the top fo my leg, and it's only day no 3!!!! Black, blue and green.....

Can't wait to do that jump again, im going to slaughter it... ill be back on the horse as soon as I can sit down!!!

[timmo]

Yeah I hurt mine lats weekend - just out riding XC kinda stuff.
I went over this log bump, kinda got my balance all wrong and my seat tried to force it's way up my date, dishing my coccyx a beating on the way through.

It's nothing compared to what you guys are talking about, but it's been sore all week... and the worst thing? it hurts to fart :)

[scblack]

I've badly bruised mine, not broken it, but it's amazing how it stops your moving and stuff for a little bone.

I was camping at a mates place, and thought I'd show them what you can do with a DH bike (after about three beers though). I was going to ride off his trailer, about two foot high only, just needing a pedal kick to drop off the end. BUT I didn't know it was a tip trailer, and he thought I was just rolling off the end. So he took the pin out, and when I did the pedal kick, the trailer tipped, and the bike flipped out from under me, and I landed FLAT on my back, hitting the coccyx (I think thats the right spelling). The bruise was HUGE, and stayed for about three weeks.

Serve me right for being a show off after beers. :o

[womble]

i crack my when i was 8 years old ,trying to do a moto jump on my dragstar.
But (ha ha ) it still had a small sissy bar on it and that was what i landed on.

[fatnold]

did it when i was 17 bmx racing.(early 80's) it took years to get over......sorry.

[Mahoney_007]

Ahhh yes. Not broken but severly hurt it. Water slide of all things, came around a corner to hot (yes it was my local slide I knew how to fold the matt and work the slide ;)) I got bouced into the on coming wall and practically stopped dead from the connection between my left butt cheek/coxic (sp) and the slide wall. Came out at the bottom and I couldnt move my legs I thought I was a goner, I was in tears and my misses had to help me swim over to the edge of the pool, it hurt like hell. A week lying flat on my back, and it was okay. I'll never ever for the rest of my life go back to that water park, way to close for my liking.

That probably happend 3 years ago and I still get the twitch and an achy back from time to time, although thats not the only injury Ive had in that area.

Hope you feel better soon mate, lie still dont sneeze :D

At this very moment mine is sore. I cased a jump,my feet fell off the pedals and my groin landed on the cross bar. I smashed my coccyx as well as the more important bits. But they are better now.

[Mad Dog]

Well it's one week to nearly the hour. After much sitting ona pillow, MTB Porn, DVD's, GT4, rubbing shit on the bruise on my ass, trying not to cough or sneeze.... etc. Im still sore as a bitch.

Thanks for all the storys, any one you talk to has a story, I tell ya about their ass.

I don't wish this upon anyone.... ouch!!!!!!
