ATV Florida Forum

Well I caught a small stump hidden in the brush and it pitched the quad sideways. Then it rolled throwing me off. I have a AC separation and torn ligaments. I always make up some story instead of saying it was ATV related. We don't need anymore bad marks. I told them I fell off the third floor. LOL Only kidding I really told them I fell off a ladder. Unfortunately it was the right side. Iv'e been hurt plenty of times but it is usually my left side. I'm starting to get good with the mouse in my left hand. Here are the x-rays.

man your camera takes some cool pics

Man this aint good. This happened to me during football my junior year. It's not fun and is quite painful. Does it hurt on your upper back anywhere to? It did for me, I had a serious not. Wait a few weeks and go to a massage therapist and get it rubbed out. You will recover faster.

My shoulder blade hurts too.

I broke my left collar bone in 2002.

No doubt it is painfull.

Holy moly, I broke my collar bone in 03 during football. Bones heal up though, stronger than they were. Ligaments and tendons do not. They are like a rubberband, once you stretch them out enough over time, they won't go back to normal. All you can do now is strengthen the muscles around them.

Dang Frank Im really sorry to hear that. I told my dad that youd probably make up a story instead of giving quads a bad name.

Thanks.

Yea it sucks. The worst part is I can't ride my street bike to work. Now I'm back to $90-$100 a week in gas for my truck.

sorry to hear that, where were you riding?

Thanks

On private property.

that sucks. hope you heal up fast.

Thats even worse. Man are you gonna at least be able to race? Mabe not the first one but some of them?

sorry to hear about this frank

this afternoon my dad and i thought about the time when u mest up ur knee and told the doctor u had a family bbq playing football witht he kids we laughed hard lol

hope for a SPEEDY RECOVERY :drive.gif

I will be back racing. It might take a couple of months but I will be back. Not if it was up to my wife. LOL

Thanks

Sorry to hear that Frank. Heal quick brother.

ps. good thinking about the ladder though.

Thanks Mike.

LOL good luck with that. ;)

I'll bet you were leading the pack, too!  :P

I am really sorry you got hurt, Frank. Shoulder injuries are tough and sleeping can be a real beeyatch.
Hope you heal quick. B

ouch

heal fast!

you should be riding in 2 weeks. I have that cold water circulating cooler gimmick and the electro pulse wave gimmick if you need it.

 

Thank Brian. Either way I will see you at the first race.


 

Thanks




I will stop by on my lunch tomorrow.

Frank.
Im sorry to hear about this..

my mom doesnt know how to work a camera!

Thanks Kelli.
I will be there either racing or taking pictures. See you then

 :T Here's to a speedy recovery!! ;)

this really sux bro, man i broke my collarbone actually it was just a little higher on my collar but yha, that must really suck, it didnt happen atving or anything it was bmx, but i got used to doing everything with my left hand and then finally it partially healed and i could somewhat use my right hand for school and whatnot but it really sucked because like the first couple weeks it hurt just to try and sit down, i dont know why but it did hahahah, but i hope it heals quickly like mine! good luck with being a leftie for a while  :P

sorry to hear it frank.  there is some truth to what was said about ligaments.  the other reason for slow recovery compared to muscles or bones is the lack of blood supply.   gonna def be interesting doing anything for a while.  you might consider looking up prolotherapy on the internet.  it will help rebuild the ligaments and is about as little invasive as you can get.  works better than cortizone injections on the long term basis.  a lot of professional athletes are using it to get back in the sport faster. i know it'd kill me to be off my street bike these days.   i wish you a speedy recovery. 

Temporarily


Thanks


I'm old so it will take some time. LOL


Thanks for the advice and well wishes.

that sucks man! sorry to hear it. I had to avoid some awesome hill climbs this weekend for fear of injury. Heal up quick man!

Thanks Kyle

I saw the Doctor today. He told me 4 weeks in the sling and then he would reevaluate me. Maybe surgery down the road. I hope not.
