When I broke my collar bone I could only sleep on my back for 2 months! Was tough but helps in the long run. Good luck.

I was riding last weekend when seat bounced a little popper that pogo'd me over the handlebars. I broke my wrist (scaphoid), broke my elbow and broke two ribs. I miss being comfortable.
I miss my sleep.
I miss good sex.
But most of all.
I miss being able to ride.
I hope we all heal quick so we can cut hot laps again ASAP

Was actually just a little off that kinda crunched me real bad (must be getting old) The mrs is being really good but keeps getting cranky at me when she finds me in the shed tinkering with my bike hahaha
She'll never understand

 

[Killpatrickyum]

Baha keep that on the down low mate milk it!!

 

[Hussey]

Mmmmmm endone

Haha be careful some people get addicted to them if you use them too much. All the best in your recovery. Worst part of the sport!

 

[Karlos247]

Yeah nah I'm all good mate. I'm weining off them already. I do know how catchy they can be. Can't sleep without them still yet tho

 

[Killpatrickyum]

Hahaha, im getting there mate, karlos can send his endones to me lol. Bloody shoulder starts aching all the time im on my feet and is pissing me off, cant lift my arm much at all without the aid of the other arm, guess I was just hoping it would all work fine and I could just get back into everything, but its gonna be baby steps from here for a lil while. Got physio tomorrow morning which will just be more stretches which is all aimed at getting back the movement I wish I had. Apart from having little patience for this crap im doin pretty good mate, just wanna go for a lil ride but cant risk anymore damage to the shoulder. Hope your collarbone has been good mate and good news on the races at VCM with the points bud.

If your that busted up there is no way you should be out in th shed playing with the bike Jeeez.... You should be resting on the couch inside... With the bike sitting next to you, then you can rest and work at the same time

Haha I like your way of thinking. If I could only push it up the stairs... Wait I could ride it up yeah? Wish my hand could handle the clutch

 

[Karlos247]

Heading back the fracture clinic today for a check up. I'll get my cast off for some more X-rays before getting another annoying frecking cast put back on. So over this thing. Watching my arm waste away to a twig, realizing that even when it finally comes off for good in 3-5 weeks my arm will have zero strength and will need weeks of rehab before I will be fit to ride again
Big guns.!!

 

[Killpatrickyum]

It will take some time mate but you will get there , keep us posted with your progress , it sux watching limbs waste away , when I did my shoulder after surgery and some time past and I was told to start using my arm again I'd almost forgotten how too, it was like it wasn't even connected anymore , strange feeling

 

[Karlos247]

They left the cast off now. Doesn't feel ready. It hurts every way I bend it. I can't even open a beer

 

[Killpatrickyum]

Baby steps dude , frustrating as hell but don't stress you will be back to normal even tho it might not seem that way right now

 

[Shearer]

Yeah it gets to you so bad ,when off with injury for so long , They tell me you need the bad times to make the good times GOOD!
All best for recovery Karlos

 

[Killpatrickyum]

Hope Micko n Karlos are on the mend!!
Question for you guys ... Can u recommend good knee braces or pads , think I'm better off with braces as my right knee is totally screwed n has been since my early teens , left knee is getting smashed now too and I'm looking for something comfy to ride in but most important to give me stability n hopefully stop me from doing any major damage , will a knee brace fully protect the knee ? And /or will it cause me to brake something else instead? Like how a neck brace will save the neck but transfer impact to collarbone / shoulder ?? Any advise would be appreciated

 

[rotn50]

Soz mate, I can not give you any feedback on knee braces, but considering the price on the better ones id say that they take a fair bit of impact off your knees and also being braced they would help to slow or hopefully prevent hyperextending the knees when pressure is applied.

Me, my shoulder is really becoming a pain in the ass, it is actually giving me more trouble than ever lately, had to stop my physio stretches as I think I may have broke what regrowth had occurred, is a shoulder injury meant to be more painful than others, not sure, All I know is I wish it was just a dislocated shoulder, id be laughing out loud right about now.
