Researching now to see if there is something we can wear/do as MX'rs to prevent collar bone injuries....I think my helmet edge is what might have done in my collar bone...wasn't wearing my chest protector..too hot and didn't need it for roost that day....I'll wear it all the time now.
i_955 said:3rd, broke my leg. Small bone (outside) just above the ankle in a 2-5 mile/hr low side tip over. I knew instantly that I broke it but I was able to pick up my bike, walk it off the track, turn off the gas and lay it and myself down to contemplate. I picked up the bike again, started it and road it to the pits. Loaded it, drove home, put the trailer in the garage, packed a care package for the hospital (sandwich, water, dirtbike mag etc) and drove to the hospital. 17hrs later I emerged with a below the knee to toe cast.
3 weeks later I decide I can't stand the cast any more & cut it off.
6 weeks later the doctor tells me that in 6 more weeks I can start riding again...
Needless to say I’m devastated.
Doc says I can start to move it and put weight on it but I can’t. My foot/ankle hurts like crazy with any weight.
I cut my cast off because I read on www.mybrokenleg.com that the rehabilitation of the ankle is the biggest issue do to zero ankle movement for 6 weeks in a cast. I couldn’t agree more, even after 3 weeks locked in a cast and now 3 weeks of simply moving it an inch or so up and down it is still tight. It is getting better daily and I hope to be able to put weight on it soon but the swelling is painful and any weight on it feels like someone is jabbing a knife in the top of my foot.…
Any comments on this?
