marko35s Posted October 1, 2020 Share when you have spent your life falling off of motorcross bikes, bicycles and surfboards, these days are non-existant...25 years of Jujitsu has had the same effect.Starting at my toes (two fractured, two dislocations), ankle (this one was actually from playing football - fractured), knee (dislocated, but it was okay because I won...), Hip (no idea what but it hurts when the weather is cold), ribs (fractures), bicep (torn - this really hurt), thumb (dislocated), Finger (2 x fracture), wrist (yep you guessed - another fracture).And that's just on my right hand side...So what do I take from this?1. What was I thinking...2. I understand now why getting up in the morning hurts so much3. At some point I passed 'able to defend myself well' and moved into 'too broken to fight back'.4. Yes it hurt but good grief it was fun along the way. Baldrick and Blackbeard 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underachiever Posted October 1, 2020 Share Every day over the age of 50 without pain is a good day .........................Perspective - we are cyclists, 95% of our training sessions are painful... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ouzo Posted October 1, 2020 Share Perspective - we are cyclists, 95% of our training sessions are painful...pretty much. If the legs dont feel tight when you walk it feels like something is wrong. Underachiever 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted October 1, 2020 Share Running 50 odd marathons in my youth seemed to be a good idea at the time. Now I need a good few minutes of hobbling around in the morning to get things warmed up To make matters worse I have destroyed both my shoulders from cycling accidents. Told the Mrs she should sell all the titanium parts when I'm gone. Underachiever 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJR Posted October 1, 2020 Share The reasons for most of my aches and pains: Broken wrist - The ******* army, running around in the darkBroken ribs - fishing, boulder hopping after trout, but my favourite rod survived in 1 piece Broken wrist - again, same one the army broke, slow speed mtb crashBroken ribs - don't remember what crash that wasBroken toe - moering down the stairsBroken collarbone - proper fast mtb crash, first time I needed help getting off the mountain, hospital and titanium parts fittedBroken scapula - proper near death road crash, that was a wake up call, more hospital, titanium and lengthy recoveryBroken finger - don't remember what happened, but it is still skew, the only break on the left hand side Edited October 1, 2020 by DJR Help.Me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonus Posted October 17, 2020 Share I had a birthday last week. My actual age and the way I "feel" (in my mind) seem to have no connection whatsoever. In fact I'm beginning to suspect my date of birth may be a clerical error . . . . . Underachiever, DJR and Help.Me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day 5 after my shoulder op, and i wants to faint every time my wife helps me with the rehab sessions.......flippin sore5 days - still very early. Whatever movement they recommended this early should be very gentle and well within the pain limits. Do not push it too early on. I recall my earliest post-op movement was nothing spectacular. I had to bend over forward about 90 degrees with torso parallel to the ground and let the injured arm hang straight down and then move it in small circles, gradually going to wider circles but no further than where it started to get uncomfortable. Ten clockwise, then 10 anti-clockwise. At first I could hardly go much wider than a saucer, but soon enough it was dinner plate size circles. Now I can do wagon wheels, swim freestyle and do push ups, but a lot of work went in between. Edited October 17, 2020 by DJR Baldrick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something to look forward too. For now baby steps i do not want to go through another shoulder op again, this pain is real..... DJR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonus Posted October 18, 2020 Share Reading the latest posts I can just hear my mother “ I told you all those extreme sports would catch up to you when you get older.....” Knowing what I feel now, don’t think I would change much.... I look at scars on my hands - a little white patch where some melted plastic landed on the back of my pinkie after I thought it would be fun to set fire to a plastic bottle and flick it around (age 9), a white line on the side of my other hand where I slipped with a carving knife whilst trying to cut my sisters plastic doll in half (age 8), a line on the finger-print of my first finger where I tried to remove a shattered lightbulb from a lamp with my bare hands (age 15). Multiple scars on my knuckles from where spanners have spilled whilst undoing nuts and bolts (weekly up until about age 21)...the list goes on . . . .
