Mountain Biking Injury...

[flip]

So I knew it was going to happen eventually but this past weekend I had a pretty nasty crash attempting to clear about a 20 ft table top. I landed about 2 feet short, came down on the front wheel and did a superman over my handlebars...

Waited a day then went to the ER... After seeing two specialists and quite a bit of pain meds I found that I separated my shoulder tearing the tendons on the end of my collar bone both side and bottom. Luckily not bad enough for surgery! I also fractured my spine in my lower back. Also luckily it was one of the side pieces and will heal completely and won't cause problems in the future...

Its been pretty difficult to walk until today and I couldn't lift my right arm until today as well. Still require meds to function but getting close...

Anyone else go through anything similar?

damn hope you fell better, I've had two ER visit's due to bmx, one was landing on my face after going from one side of the bowl to the other, and on was casually riding to class and impaling myself on the bar end....

figured that it was bound to happen. dangerous hobby!

get well soon. joint injuries are the worst. try to ask for steroid shots to help it heal. there isn't much blood that goes into it, so it takes forever to heal.

Now you can go zip lining abd be just fine, so does this mean that Stephen still wont get paid by will, rub some dirt on it and it will feel better,

Steroids FTW
