[QUOTE="thorspapa, post: 272922, member: 27269"] Four years ago I cased a jump, dead on, come-to-a-full-stop case. Problem is I didn't go over the bars, I just kept hands on handlebars and hyper stretched fwd, slamming face and chest on bars/tank The pain was terrible and couldn't move arm overhead for a week. Go to family doctor, takes x-ray, says "ice it, take these for pain, nothing's broken" It got better and two weeks later I started riding again. One year later I fell on a corner, back to terrible pain. Pain went away in about a week, but arm doesn't move right. Go to family doctor again, tells me I'm getting old, x-ray again, says I have swelling and to ice it, nothing's broken. I decide to get a second opinion, because it hasn't felt right since the first crash. Visit to surgeon and MRI yields damage to rotator cuff, torn bicep, other horrible things. Surgery happens three days later, five hours and two surgeons to put it together. Kicker: the surgeon tells me that there was so much atrophy from the injury going unrepaired for so long, that half the tissue is gone forever, and I'll be lucky to get 80% strength back. "I should have come to him sooner, and if it happens again, they have to use tissue from my leg to fix it". It took me 1 1/2 years to feel "normal" again. Lots of therapy, cracking sounds and pain. Moral of this story: if you think it's damaged, have it checked out now by a surgeon, not the family doc. He may be a good guy, but he's not an expert. [/QUOTE]
