the official injury thread- not for the squeamish?

[Mudsimus]

I had a genuine complaint. No advise?

 

About not being able to feel your bum? Get someone else to try and feel it?

[mtbN00b]

You're meant to show a pic of the injury. Maybe then someone can give you some advice.

So what has happened to all the MTB injuries from the weekend? How did this thread die so suddenly?

 

Unless none of you went out riding of course ......

Yes, still recovering. Waiting for the doctor to give the go ahead.

Slave, this thread calls for a that x-ray pic of your cracked ribs...and the haircomb the installed in your collar bone

Without having read the whole thread Oxman, I take it this is one of those p!ssing contests where we brag about our injuries.

 

Dude, I hurt myself pretty badly but I am not proud of my achievement since it took pretty much gross frigging stupidity to accomplish.

 

Suffice to say, I got pretty beaten up by the pavement, spent some time in Solitary for my efforts and the less said the better.

We now and then past Cool Runnings on our way home then just quickly go check "quality Control" if they have our brand and if the beers is still cold.

Yeah, little tyke came up with that after babbas!

[Slave]

So officialy the injures from my crash are:

 

Fractured ribs 2 through 7 (6 of them with one fracrured in two places.)

Pneumothorax (Puntured Lung)

Fractured colar bone. (Now sporting titanium plate with 9 screws to hold it all together.)

Severley bruised ego.

 

It only hurts when I laugh. (Seriously) or when I cough and I dread the day I have to sneeze.

slave, how long are you off the bike for?

[Slave]

Doc says 6 to 8 weeks Holy.

 

That finger injury looked damn sore. And then you still rode to the end of the course. That's just certifiable man.

 

I wanted to know if you are crazy but like that would just be a rheorical question.

 

I think if there was a prize for the person who crashed the most, you would be among the top contenders for the "prize."

 

Some day, a doc is going to ban you from riding again.

 

What is your penance this time? How long have you been told to stay off?

where it happened was kinda inaccessible, so i had to get at least to the bottom of the hill and off the singletrack. i was kinda freaked out by how it looked and i guess the adrenaline just kicked in. the ambulance did appear about 2 kays from the end, but i thought it was better just to get sorted at the end.

 

my doc is a cyclist, and he said i can ride this weekend as the swelling is almost completely down now. he did stress that i have to take it easy. my mate, claudia, is a physio, and she had a look at it this weekend.
