[Willie Neslon]

[Mr. Pickles]

You bet.

 

[skol asylum]

Don't drink and run.

Get better soon.

 

[Willie Neslon]

no drinking, just caught a piece of uneven sidewalk, braced for fall on palms. i guess the radius gets all the force and breaks up near the elbow.

 

[Willie Neslon]

one thing i have learned already is having two arms is better than one. everything is hard to do

 

[kutta]

Is it your primary arm?

 

[Eminence]

I'm sorry to hear that boss.

 

[Willie Neslon]

Is it your primary arm?

It is a radial head fracture of the left arm. looked like only type 1 on xray where i wouldnt need plate or screws, just splint and sling

[James Daulton]

Very similar to vicodin. Not as strong as oxy.

 

[belljr]

You have to break in new legs before you try to run with them

My daughter just fractured he radial head doing a front flip on a trampoline.

We got this for baths/showers. It is hard to get on, but a life saver for keeping the cast dry:

I prefer the NIN version. And I don't love NIN. Interesting how 2 people can make the same song emit such different emotions.

Hope you get to be on the road again soon.

went for an early evening run and took a fall. hit my head and blood started dripping pretty good from near my eye. didn't feel the arm pain for about 10 seconds. back from the er a little while ago. in a cast and sling. about to take norco. they put some kind of glue in the gash above my eye. thanks

Oh, snap!

Time to head to Chick-Fell-A

How fast were you running..60 mph? Broke your arm and hit your head. No tuck and roll?

 

[Jaysus]

Good luck wiping.

 

[Guest]

Good luck wiping.

I'm right handed, but would rather lose the use of my right hand for this reason alone. I'm a left hand wiper. TMI.

 

[eoMMan]

How do you fall running? Pothole? Trying to hurdle a pitbull?

I think getting hit by a car is a cooler story.

Regardless, get better and glad I didn't die.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Last year I broke my arm in two places.

I'm never going to go to those two places ever again.

I had the same fracture on my left arm about 8 years ago. Arm just isn't the same. Not sure if I failed to do the exercises enough/properly which had me avoid seeing a PT but any time or do push ups, lift weights, etc. my left arm swells up and sometimes bruises. I was also put in a splint/sling combo for about 3 days.

here's what happened, i'm running on the sidewalk, i made a left turn onto another street. i'm listening to my ipod, same route i run every day. about 100 yards ahead i see a woman on the same sidewalk walking toward me with a dog. i decide to cross to other side. i look over my right shoulder for cars, all clear. i cross the street and get on sidewalk on that side of street. i guess once i got to sidewalk i let my guard down for a sec and didn't see the uneven sidewalk. next thing i know i'm on the ground leaking from above the left eyebrow. thought i'm going to need stitches so start walking towards home, about 10 sec later realize my arm is broke, couldn't move it in any direction

 

[EYLive]

Tuck & Roll next time.

 

[Willie Neslon]

my dr. saying i fractured the elbow as well. orthopedist tomorrow

 

[SHIZNITTTT]

PM me I can help. I have worked with most of the orthopedic surgeons in your area.

thank you. from what i understand i will not need surgery. if that ends up not being true i will pm.

 

[Willie Neslon]

It's been 5 days since the injury and it is hurting much more now than when I broke it. Is this normal?

Technically I broke my elbow (radial head fracture). They say it is important to remove splint asap (after a few days) as to avoid permanent stiffness. My orthopedic opted to treat conservatively and keep in splint for 10 days to make sure the bones get sticky and don't shift. I'm nervous i'll never get the movement back because it'll be immobilized that long. Has anyone ever had this injury and when did you begin your range of motion exercises? and did your elbow ever get back to normal? i have only type one fracture, no surgery needed as long as bone stays in current position.

Broke one whole end off my Radial head. I had to have surgery and two screws to reattach. I think I was in a splint for three weeks after before PT started. My PT was a specialist in hand and elbow injuries. Lots of stretching during sessions with her. Sometimes hurt like a #####. Probably did PT twice a week for three months. Didn't think I would regain full extension, but eventually did. I was demonstrating deadlifts for my son without thinking about the injury and final adhesion broke loose. It's been two years, elbow only bothers me after carrying something heavy for the most part. Edit to add: Actually, it was an occupational therapist that did the stretching exercises. She was way better than the PT.

Thanks for posting. So you re-injured the elbow doing the deadlifts?
