took an 8 foot fall into the bottom of a bowl on my bike at the bmx park here. left lung collapsed a tiny bit as well they said.
it's not as bad as i looks tho! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acromioclavicular_dislocation heals completly on its own and shoulder goes back to full strength after a few weeks.
nurses, docs said mine is a really nasty one an that i should consider surgery on it.
hurts like hell and they said taking aspirin is good enough for this injury. uhh
other than this, it was a beautiful fall day here in flagstaff arizona ^_^

Ouch. I hope you feel better soon and get plenty of rest.

Do you wear a cast? If so, what does it look like?
Can you move your arm at all?

Holy shit that's a scary picture to me hahaha.
No wonder I'm afraid of extreme activities like that.
Good luck with healing... hopefully the injury won't impact your life too much in the long run. Let us know when it's all better.

Damn
But I really hope you get better
I never had any broken bones but that looks ew

no cast for this injury
i can move it a lot actually! but when i stand up and the weight of my arm pulls on the shoulder area, its hurts constantly. but i have a nice sling so it's all tucked up and cozy.
if i try to move my shoulder up in the direction of my ear.. ow! i'm not gonna do that anymore
ty for the get better wish everyone 
|
Putting clothes on/using the bathroom is gonna be such a pain in the ass arm for you.
|
dang, made me go damnnnnnn
get well man, even if i've never broken anything, I think I can imagine the pain.
|
|
|
Ouch. Broken bones are no fun.
|
Oh fuck that sucks. Shoulder injuries are like the worst. You better do whatever you have to do to make a full recovery, because I fucked my shoulder up once (not even as bad as you) and now it's a daily issue for me.

QFT. Make sure that shit heals and do not strain it or try to use it too early for any reason, or it could become a persistent problem.

you're that guy who punched a guy and broke your hand in the process. man, it has not been a good year for your bones. hope it heals correctly and rapidly 
|
jesus that looks awful!
get an academy! so that...you can...make...medics...
aw
|
That's a fucking epic x-ray. Keep it to show off. Hell, frame that shit.
That's such a clear picture of the break it's unbelievable. Sorry about the fall and I wish you a speedy recovery!!
Good to hear that it's a relatively simple and complete heal, though!
Oh! Didn't notice you said Flagstaff. I have family there that I visit a few times a year from Utah! I love little things like this =)
|
Ouch... Worse I had was a fractured cheek bone and some minor internal bleeding.
|
You better hope that wasn't your good hand/arm if you know what I mean.

If your loneliness is sufficient you can train yourself to be ambidextrous, amirite?

not to scare you, but a friend on my old rugby team dislocated his shoulder, had it operated, they inserted a metal rod to connect it, and it didn't heal properly, had to redo operation. took 9 months to heal and permanently it was permanently damaged gg rugby.
moral of the story is make sure if you get surgery the doctor operating isn't a retard.
|
ouch, damn...
the worse I had were a couple of broken/bent ribs.....
good thing you're not in a cast or anything, don't dare overwork it though...
|
That sucks. Looks like it separated cleanly though so it should heal properly. Be glad you didn't ruin your synovial joint or rotator cuff - those never heal properly.

Bad time to mis-micro dude.

One handed StarCraft ... guess it could work right? I mean you use the right hand for the mouse so you should be good to go!
P.S. Hope it heals fast
|
wow that's gotta be painful
shoulder and knee injuries are the worst
Godspeed in your recovery dude
|
If that's your ACjoint I had the same thing happen to me  Hurts like a bitch, but heals fine. Except there'll be a bump there for a long time (dunno if it goes away yet)

Ya joint injuries in general pretty awful - shoulder and knees get the reputation because they're huge and unstable so they get busted a lot

At least it's a clean break. I've had multiple broken bones and luckily they were also clean. It sucks even more balls if the break is like a shatter.
|
Sucks man. Doing something like that is almost guarantee for AC joint arthritis in the future. The clavicular/scapular/acromial ligaments are obviously torn so AC joint just rubs and you get arthritis in the future. Fun stuff.
Make sure you let it heal so that you won't have quicker degeneration.
Surgery may be a good idea depending on what you want to do in the future.
|
thankfully it's your left arm, not your right
unless you're left handed?
get well soon
|
I fixed you up, this ones a freebie.
You're going to want to stay off that shoulder for a few weeks.
|
guess this is the outcome of EXTREME sports
|
Hey, uh, take a look at my sig if you need any ideas on what to do while your arm is out.
|
ooouch! hope you get soon better!
wow, technically you posted naked pictures of yourself on the internet...
|
I can't believe they won't prescribe you anything for the pain.... looks pretty brutal. Hope you recover quickly and fully!
|
so i tried to take my shirt off last night.. i couldn't because the pain was so unbearable. my only goal today is to get this shirt off and get a new one on. i haven't slept with a shirt on since i was like 9
@mani i don't even want to shower until i'm healed up. it hurts so bad when i'm simply standing. pretty much everything but sitting hurts my shoulder right now
thx, kev! lol
|

|
