Thanks Tex, took a few months off. Now it's back to arguing about oil speculation and lifting heavy vicariously through sharky's thread. Maybe I never really left after all...

Was out at the local mountain bike trail this morning. Was heading for a wooden ramp when I hit some wet sand and my front wheel went all wobbly and I wound up going off the side of the ramp, me and the bike going airborne. The bike hit the ground and is doing fine. I slammed my right shoulder into a tree. Now I know how it would really feel to get thrown into shit like those guys in the movies. Trust me, I wouldn't be getting up and shaking it off quite as fast as they did. I DID have to ride the damn bike back to my Pathfinder, which was a study in intense pain... I'm lucky I didn't break my damn collar bone, but as it is my shoulder is all sorts of interesting shades of purple... Shit. you still should get an xray I know a person that broke it and didnt think it was broke either ... |

Wouldn't it swell up real good if it were broken? |

Breaks won't always necessarily swell. There could be a hairline-type fracture anywhere from the shoulder to your whole girdle or arm since the force can be transmitted along bone and across joints. I'm pretty lazy with "training injuries" where you can pretty much chalk it up to something like over-exertion or muscle belly injuries, but trauma deserves an actual diagnosis.
The regression back to baby food and diapers has to start somewhere. This may as well be it! |

I broke down and went to the walk-in clinic today and had it X-rayed. As I thought, no break, just a bone bruise. They did give me a tetanus shot because of the road...errr, trail-rash on my arm and prescribed some antibiotic ointment to use if it gets infected. But basically I am GTG as soon as the pain goes away.

I did the same thing when I hit a booby trap in the sand whoops that ran along the rail road tracks. I was doing about 55 and cracked the throttle wide open and then boom out went the lights. I woke up laying against the tracks my collar bone was broken as was my bell helmet, my seat was one place the bike and the fuel tank was in other places. I popped my collar bone back in, put the bike together fired it up and had a 12 mile ride through sugar sand back home.

Heh, I may be reckless but I am not THAT reckless... Well, if you can't work out, that just leaves you more time to post photos... Seriously, hope your shoulder heals up quick. Good news that it's not broken. |
