Long Wheel Base Posted April 21, 2015 Share Know how you feel. Stuffed the wrist up a few years ago in a non cycling mess around, the doc said it had to be operated on asap so end of January(4 years ago) had the op and was in a cast for a few weeks. Most amount of argus training on an indoor trainer ever. Had already entered for R4S and emperors(it always used to be before argus) so rocked up to pick up my numbers(goodie bag) with the wrist in a cast Get well soon! PS: why is it always 6 weeks????

Lurch the stalker Posted April 21, 2015 Share Done my collarbone a couple times, last time in December 2014.I was only allowed back on the bike in March, but I have bounced back faster than the previous time. As boring as the IDT is, that really helped a lot with maintaining some level of fitness. HappyMartin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcBurger Posted April 21, 2015 Share Also broke mine by tumbling over an innocent piece of grass.They should seriously offer to replace the whole thing. Would be badass. Mousea 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJR Posted April 21, 2015 Share ............ As boring as the IDT is, that really helped a lot with maintaining some level of fitness.I second this! It WORKS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchelicious Posted April 21, 2015 Share Broke mine crashing on mowed lawn too in the spruit. Sucks ass, but honestly I was on the IDT 4 days after the plate was put in and spent 4 weeks on it, even did a few 4 hours LSDs on the IDT, I came out a stronger rider. Turn this misfortune into an opportunity to use your IDT to the max. The results will make the bore worthwhile!

Lurch the stalker Posted April 22, 2015 Share My arm is in a sling, didnt have a plate inserted.I have broken mine twice, the first time they "left it to heal on it's own" and I really struggled with it, the bone refused to grow back by itself, and it then after a few months they eventually put a plate in anyway.The second time they operated a few hours after I had broken it, and it healed much better, not to mention much faster. Personally, I will be very wary of a non-surgical route in future if (ok, no "if" with me, "when" ) I do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winstonian1984 Posted April 22, 2015 Share The sling annoys me. I have 4 weeks to go with a fractured elbow. Will be riding the giro on my IDT. Long Wheel Base 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would recommend the plate from a mobility perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pappa Bear Posted April 22, 2015 Share Damm....... Feel your pain. Broke my left one 3 times and the right one once...... 6weeks I wish on no one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinS Posted April 22, 2015 Share Broke my left one about 1 and half years ago. I decided on the non-surgical option and let my body heal itself. First 3 weeks was uncomftable with the sling. Make sure you do the rehab exercises, I didn't initially and my elbow "locked" after 3 days, that was more painfull than the fall, and I fell 2 and a half meters onto my shoulder, head first with the bike then also hitting me. After 6 weeks I could ride easy, after 8 I was back on the trails. Doc said I healed very well and it was a good call not to opt for the surgical route.
