Broke my arm in gym today...

[TwinTips21]

First thing that went through my head was skiing next weekend which i cant do anymore. I would type more but it takes to long, just wanted to vent.

 

[bvibert]

That sucks!!!! How did you manage to break it??

 

[riverc0il]

ouch, sorry dude. been there, done that. hope you have a quick recovery. prob be back just in time for prime time skiing.

Clearly depending on where you broke it and how badly you borke it- you should be skiing by MLK weekend no problem.

 

[TwinTips21]

Tried jumping over a net, my foot got caught and I got thrown to the ground.

 

[ajl50]

forearm? Wrist? Shoulder? Upper arm... As long as you don't need any surgery you'll be skiing soon...

 

[TwinTips21]

Yea only three weeks of a cast because the fracture didn't shift. The fracture is right by my elbow.

Bummer man. Stay away from those gyms. Dangerous places mang.

Sorry to hear about your accident. How much of your arm did they have to immobolize? Is it just your wrist and your elbow that's immobolized, or is your arm in a sling so that your shoulder is immobolized as well?

I broke my arm years ago. Elbows come back pretty fast, as they really don't have much motion or support much weight. You'll be skiing by XMAS if it's just your elbow. Shoulders are another matter entirely -- you'd need some physical therapy treatment just to get your arm over your head, but you'd still be ok by mid January.

Sorry, hope it doesn't keep you from skiing for too long.

 

[TwinTips21]

The shoulder wasn't affected, luckily it is just the elbow.

Sack up and ride anyways, just keep it to the easy stuff. I broke my wrist two years ago and was riding the next day. Not charging, but I was riding around enough to keep my legs up and get my fix.

Yo man, I'm no mod, but just a forewarning, you might want to temper the language.

AFAIK, this is still a PG-13 board.

But that is a great expression..... ;-)

Well, when I was 25, I snapped my forearm playing football....after a couple of weeks I was playing pond hockey in a cast..

The again I have 2 6 inch steel plates and 18 screws
