Another Injury Thread

[DocAvoido]

so i was in backyard the other day trying to learn some tricks in the grass i was pretty worn out and lazily attempted to throw a 180 and land with my back wheel in a pivot. i got about as far as the initial hop before relizing it wasn't gonna end well so i kinda hoped off the bike while falling backwards and pushed it in front of me.

suddenly it was like chinese new year and i heard more cracking then tree falling in the forest (yes, it does make a sound) i'm now the proud owner of an ankle fractured in 2 places and i managed to get grade 3 (completely torn apart) tendon tears on all three surrounding main tendons on my ankle while simultaneously seperating the bones in my foot "and turned one to sand" in the docs words. i'm in an air cast now but have to get a hard one on monday while they decide from CAT scans whether i need surgery or not.

so i ask you, do you liek mudkips?

also, what color cast should i get? what do i do for 3 months? i'm thinking about running to the store and getting some new video games, any recommendations? possibly stories of similar experience someone would like to share for the readers?

::attatched:: is a photo i took about 2-3 minutes after the incident (i was asking some friends for analysis, as i wasn't happy about seeing the doctor) you should be able to tell which is it

Dunno what it really is but looks like you crushed/blew up your ankle by landing really hard on it...looks bad and I wouldn't walk on that but I take it youre not seeing part of a crouch...

yeah, my bro smashed his face bmxing...we were in hospital waiting 7-8 hours (counted), all the time he was bleeding, he couldnt remember anything and he was struggling to see and keep awake... (turned out he broke his nose, fractured summin, needed 'glue' in some parts too big to stitch and stitches, aswell as concussion)... 7-8 hours :eek:

i went in once for something stupid i cant remember what... was seen within about half hour.

hospital = shit.

[flyjumper13]

the first time I messed my ankle up I was outside trying to keep my balance with to nurses watching me while my dad was parking he droped me off there because "hey theres some nurses they can help" no they just stood there

my brother hit his head on a rock couldnt see by time they brought him in he could see so just walked out yelling about how long it took

I bruised my ribs couldnt catch my breath so I went to the hospital sat there for a while mabye 30 min then a kid I went to school with came and and sat next to me we started talking found out he got run over by a dirt bike during one of his heat could barely walk we talked for about 45 min to an hour when so little kid about 12years old came in with a cut on his knee about 1/2 of an inch long and about 1/3 deep hardly worth a bandage comes in with his mother there both crying and scared they take him in after about 30 min leaving me and the other kid there for about 2 more hours we were there for about 5 hours before they helped ethier of us I almost missed my third day of work

Here, try this.

[ridecleveland]

When learing to drop into 1/4's I rolled my ankle tearing the tendon. I could pedal the bike, but couldn't hop with out it hurting for 2 weeks. Fast plants were out of the question for a few months and all together it took about a year to fully heal.

[ZDN]

ankles suck.

amen brotha I broke my left one once and my right one 3 times:eek:

[Vex]

injuries r awsome...........

[BUGSY34]

mines bad right now but its getting better, so i can feel your pain! oh wait thats my pain ...but if you want to keep the swelling down "lightly" wrap your ankle in a tensor bandage. It will distribute the fluids in your ankle and heal faster .but my ankle and leg are purple as hell. well maybe not hell. LOL

lol nice, unfortunately wrapping my ankle isn't a problem anymore, they stuck me in an aircast for 3 days now i'm in a cast for 3 weeks till my next appt. check it out :P I'm not swedish or anything but the doc upon request hooked me up with a swedish flag cast, i was hoping along with the pity points i'd attract some swedish girls :wink:

ps: this was my first ever real BMX injury and first ever broken bone (oppose from a finger tip which doesn't count) and you wont be seeing more like this from me. so don't worry those of you who were apparently upset about this thread

[sexybeast]

i know how you feel, id say go with bmx video games movies and magazines....and food lots of food...you have a gf...call her up....its gonna be a LOOOOOOOOONNGGGGG 3 months

[DocAvoido]

oh man don't get me started on her she called my up and DEMANDED an apology from me for hurting my ankle and told me i was unreliable and all this stuff cause i was supposed to help her move, i never apologized but she got over it it was just ridiculous

[Haro_Revo]

I know what it's like man. I broke my ankle like 2 years ago and almost had to have surgery. I was on crutches for like 2 months. It sucked. I just bought a few new games and that kept me busy for the most part. Though I did ride with my cast on every once in a while. :lol:

[mattflip]

you got girl shoes

Maybe hes a girl with hairy legs?

[ricket]

ankles suck.

elbows swallow!

:eek:

[harorider]

dude.... i feel the pain today my metal pedal went 4-5 inches into my leg it was gory i was all dizzy and couldnt see cos of pain i was in the middle of the bloody forest i cant even bunny-hop now

[band aid]

just learned double whips right [tramp bike]...so i start going HUGE and try a 3 whip land so hard smadh my face of the bend on the bars...didn't hurt at all really though...it was just numbish! i thought i broke my tooth at first because the [now black part] was the same colour of my tooth so it and there was blood at the edge of the gum/where the tooth meets the gum so it looked like 2 pieces of a tooth.

[Minitrix]

Yeah, get some movies and video games to help pass the time.
Dave Mirra 2
Resident Evil 4
Gran Turismo 4
San Andreas

Movies:
Sin City
Uno
Aspire Round 3 (If you can find it still.)

So yeah, relax, keep your weight off it and it'll be fine.
