Wrecked the Dirt Bike..ouch

Well, I went camping and decided to try to ride my nephew's dirt bike. Not the brightest of moves I've pulled. I ended up going about 30 ft and crashed big time. I landed right on my arm that I just had surgery on in Sept. I'm really quite sore. I did the heating pad, and my tenz unit. I don't think I injured it any worse then it already was. It's mostly my shoulder area that is sore. I'm going to give it a few days then if its still hurting go get it checked out. Do you think I could have injured it more?
At any rate...it kind of was the funniest thing to see! Like I said..not the brightest of moves I've pulled.

Rachel...

Are you crazy? some people get tbpi from bike injuries.

Have it checked out and I hope you are not too sore.

Glad you are still in one piece. You are too much what a dare devil... hmmm

Rachel,

5 months after I had the mod quad, I fell and fractured the other hand. I think our sense of balance is esp. awkward post surgery until out bodies adjust to the new ways of doing things.

Anyway, I hope it is all ok for you. I'll bet if you go to the emergency room you will get a diagnosis of 'brachial plexus injury'. LOL.

Do take care.
