Damn Bones (OMG its almost fixed)

[LTR]

Today (23 Jan) I was dirt jumping, as you do, and I had a little stumble. I rolled around the ground a bit and waited for the pain to go away. We drove 1.5 hrs to the doctors to find that I have broken my left shoulder in two spots.

It’s quite sore to move and I don’t recommend anyone breaking shoulders.

Hopefully I’ll be back on the bike in a couple of months.

For all you msn users, im typing with one hand, so dont talk too fast :wink:

[Adi]

[ELX]

Dam. That sucks. Get better soon mate. Justr dont get bored and try to ride again i split my stickes doing that. Just do what the doc says.

[monkeymagic]

that looks quite painful... well... get well soon!

[j5ive]

Karma.

[sifter]

i just don't seem to break, i ragdoll firetrails and fall of the sides of trails regularly and all that happens is i get sore as hell and cut like a grapefruit in a blender set to pulp, i don't know what i'd have to do to snap my shoulder in half, a jackhammer springs to mind.

[Wattsy]

shit man, to bad, esspecially a few months, oh well, i guess ill talk really fast on msn then

[nhd]

lend me your rhythm, i am your neighbour

[jays_5000]

That sucks Alex!

I hope it heals well for you and you don't have any troubles with it in the future!

I did my colla bones last yr and that kept me off for 2 months...then it calsified and has left a fat lump of bone...looks heaps cool and pull chicks also. Remember! Chicks dig scars. Get well soon!!!

[Mommers]

Get better mate, pity no riding for a few months :(

[Simo]

finally x-rays! y am i the only one who sounds happy :P nah man, get better! If you ever wanna chill as us hommies do give us a call.
if i start trials now will i be on level field with you when u get back on the bike? :P

[tu plang]

hmmm i dont think u have to worry about keeping up with one hand on msn... i think most of us only have one hand on the keyboard half the time neway...

[ruthlessgirl]

dude that sucks harsh... i busted my arm and am trying to heal that and get the shoulder back working... it's tough I'm not gonna lie cuz ur not supposed to move your shoulder for a while, which doesn't help the muscles any...

but welcome to the club... you can complain to me, I'm always up for a good broken bones whining event!

[LTR]

anyone got any tips for sleeping?? it fukin hurts and is uncomfortable... :(

this is my first break..... i usually ragdoll etc but nothing NORMALLY breaks.... i do drink litres of milk every day 8)

to the melbourme people, i want to come to hursty bikeless and maybe film or something?? :wink:

heh.... this is a fukin pain, i use my left arm for TOOOOOO many things... :evil:

thanks for the support !!! :P

[ruthlessgirl]

I slept in a chair for 2 months (doc's orders - because it was easier to keep the shoulder in place)... you don't even notice if it's hard to sleep in a chair or not cuz:
1. you're gonna wake up from pains no matter what
2. they give you pain meds

The only other thing was that when i got to sleep in my bed again i had to gradually get to lying down on my back, so side sleeping is kinda out for a while... sometimes putting a smaller/flatter pillow under your shoulder helps it from falling backwards too...

that's all i got... hope something works, cuz i knwo it sucks and it sucks more when you're really tired and in pain.

[LTR]

ive tried the back, the side and the front and none work for me...

it looks like the chairs the best bet :cry:

[Simo]

if you are getting enough sleep lying down stay with it, you may wake up alot but aslong as you are getting rest it's good. I would go to the chair if you found yourself not getting enough sleep or waking up in more pain etc.

come to hursty!!!

[ruthlessgirl]

yeah the chair isn't fun, but i was there doc's orders. I would never have been able to lie down! I tried i screamed i listened to the doctor... :( It's not as bad if you have a good comfy lazy-boy recliner or something!

[Avanti_Racing]

ive tried the back, the side and the front and none work for me...

it looks like the chairs the best bet :cry:just keep to your daily red bull, who says you'll be sleeping at all?

[trobb]

Shit dude that suks! hope you get better soon.

[bryn]

haha sifter..don't jinx yourself ! unlucky man :(

[sifter]

dunno about breaking bones but i'm on the verge of melting, so damn humid, sweating like a pedophile in a bouncy castle

[Woodsie]

I found a couple of scotches to wash down the meds helped me sleep. I reckoned it relaxed the muscles arond the break.
Though try to avoid getting falling down drunk for a couple of weeks. Falling down ain't a lotta fun when you already gotta broken bone. :twisted:

Oh, and typing with one hand suxs! I keep on accidentally reaching for the keyboard with my other hand. Ouch! :cry:

PS. If you are under legal age, ignore me. I don't wanna get in trouble with your mamma. :wink:

[ruthlessgirl]

one handed typing does suck, but trust me you get VERY good at it VERY quick... did you screw up your dominant side? I'm a righty and screwed up my right, so hey if i can learn to type wrong sided, i'm sure you can too...!!!

[ruthlessgirl]

NICE! the fun will be moving your elbow! :) I was in a sling for a while and found that your elbow won't straighten after, so ya do some physio but i swear it comes back quick! The shoulder can take longer but the quicker the bone heals up the quicker they let you start to move it and the sooner youget to move it, the less a pain in the ass physio is!

yay for the no sling! pathetically, it's one of the greatest days you get when you're hurt!

[LTR]

BUT.... im going to wear the sling just incase... :wink:
