broken collarbone.

[Rejekt]

i actually race atvs and i was in a race and it was the main event and i was in 2nd fighting for 1st and i tried to hit a triple the atv clipped the front of the last jump and slung me than preceded to land on my collarbone.

ouch! im lucky i havent done that yet! i mean i dont race ATV's because i cant afford to get a good one. but i ride daily. worst ive done was take my old fourtrax up a hill and have the chain pop jus tat the top and slide back down having the breaks fail and slam into a tree. i was very lucky and just supffered a bruise on my upper back. but thankfully never broken a bone. good luck! a good excuse to do nothing tho

I fell out of a tree about 12 feet and landed on a block wall and separated my shoulder and I was convinced it was broken. The doc told me thats because it hurts more than a break.

Now that was not my collar bone so I can only imagine how bad it must hurt.
Hope you are feeling better soon.

Slim you definately have my respect.
Thank you for bravely serving our country

Thanks to all of you for your kind words. An update on the injury is called for i suppose. the bone is doing great it feels great being that its only been 2 weeks. My shoulder is suffering a little numbness, im thinking maybe a pinched nerve or something, i dunno im no doctor. i have a doc appointment monday to see if they wanna leave it like is or do a shoulder reduction. But i figured i would post some pics up.

i thought this one was pretty cool.

Glad to hear it's healing up for you! Told you it would feed two times better every two weeks.

To chime in, yes it sucks and yes it takes a LONG time to completely heal. I lowsided a 600cc roadracing and snapped mine years ago. Just wait until the brace starts smelling like a stale ass in a few weeks...

Haha you were definitely spot on with that one. I kinda wish they would do something about this massive lump though. It looks like i have a golfball on my collarbone.

actually i never was a fan of the stupid sling they put me in, i know its supposed to heal me up and everything but i hate the way it limits me. Atleast im wearing the figure eight. thank god for disability

Everybody who races will break there collarbone. You have to learn to land on your stomach or chest. I broke mine on a dirt bike. It took about 4-5 weeks to heal.
Your bra (figure 8 brace) will become you best friend. The lazy boy was the easiest place to sleep. Good Luck!

I feel your pain...well sort of

I am currently nursing broken ribs (i did that a couple weeks ago) from falling off a ladder at work. To make things even better... I broke my foot in 6 places this past Tuesday night.

Good times

Hope you heal up quickly

I got hit by a car. Snapped my collar bone. Left handed wipe SUCKS! Good to know it's healing better. Collar bones seem to be pretty fragile. Hopefully you don't have any nerve damage. Sweet pics!
