If i cant walk Ill jsut rideLOL **** aint no thing. yeah she told me to go. im just stubborn. but its all good now anyways. i listened to her. i doubt i need surgery. but however, i will be wearing a brace next time i ride so i dont **** up the chance to go riding with you and her. imma try to come ther next month. you down too? Tell her hi for me

 

Ul b back in no time. just play a lot of PS2 and whatch videos, hows the bike?

 

go see a orthropedic surgen a.s.a.p. and ask him if you can do pre-op physical therapy. i did and i think it has helped me so much. i started pt about 3 days after surgery and i was off the crutches an drugs within 6 days after the surgery. i was supposed to wear this god aweful knee brace for 6 weeks he told me yesterday that i didnt need it anymore, it was 4 weeks after surgery sunday and already i can bend my knee 110 degrees, and what i have been told, i am at least 3 weeks ahead of schedule if not more.

 

oo ya if you do get a knee brace get a CTI 2, they are custom made to fit like a glove. mine was $1,500, thank god for insurance. i will try to get some pictures of all of my knee braces and my battle scar.

i hope you have health insurance.

good luck and speedy recovery. ooo ya he wont let me ride my bike until march.

 

yeah i got a brace now. its freekin huge!!!!!. yeah 2 of my goosd friends are therapists her so i dont need to go to the doctor for it they can treat me here in my gym. really appreciate all the good comments and thoughts from everyone on here. oh yeah and the bikes still drivable. totall crunchy though... addss character. jsut need some zip ties ya know. ill post some pics tomorrow of the condition of the bike.

 

Well I hope all goes well with the surgery or whatever they end up doing.

Although I would really like to know what is with guys and not going to the hospital when they are injured. My hubby, 954john, broke his leg beginning of Aug on his bike. His friend brought him home instead of going to the hospital. Then the next day I had to call an ambulance cause he couldn't make it to the car.

I hope all goes well and that you have many loved ones close by to help you through the next several monthes. You will need it.

 

what up Dogg...............when are we going stuntin again?


heal up, I will too!

Hate to be the one who tells ya, but therapist can only do so much. If it's bad internal you'll have to have surgery. Mine looked the same and I had nothing left inside. All I did was hop up in the air after flipping a high chair endo, and mine completely blew. Thought I could just rough it out, but I had to have surgery, and all that BS of gettin up and walking in a week is crap depending on what you messed up. 6 months later, my knee still hurts like hell, can't bend it all the way without it snapping and lodging, spent countless painfull months in physical therapy, and still can't stunt ride. Just don't push it, get a MRI, and a scope if necessary. I went in for a simple 30 min surgery and came out 4 hours later. They really can't ell unless they go in with certain stuff.
Oh, and hope you have medical insurance cause the sugery was over 30 GRAND, and still isn't fixed.
Good luck on the knee, not trying to think the worst just letting you know my scenerio

 

DAMN!!! Do you really think your just pushing it hard? That's alot of ER time. If I f-d up that much stuff I'd become a couch potato!

I've broke my collarbone
tore muscles in the other shoulder
sprained my ankle
had both knees look like that picture
and got somthing wrong with my sternum, makes cracking noises and hurts sometimes

 

RIGHT ON!!!!!!

 

Ya those where just some of my major injuries I listed. believe me it goes on and on. Dislocated ac joints in the shoulders, broken wrist, fingers, toes. You name it Kyle. Crazy thing is I am only 22 years old. It's not that I pushed my self to hard it's that i don't know when to stop. I always think things can be taken to another level. Ask any one that knows me and they will tell you I always step up the game/ risk. P.S. - none of my injuries are motorcyle related. They were all on mountain bikes and snowboards.

 

Bunarocket, i am not lying when i said i walked into the doctors office 6 days after surgery. apperently you just heal differently or i am just lucky because i am on my 5th week after surgery and i am doing fine. i am already off that huge knee brace you get right after surgery. i gotta get AAA batteries for my digi, when i do i will get some pictures of my knee braces.

 

i think id retire teh whole snowboard n mountain bike thinkg!!

 

No way bro. I still am stronger than ever at both sports. I can really say you have to wreck and crash that much to get to the level I am at in Snowbaording & biking. I have been competing and sh*t for years. I have large bags of tricks and literaly live for the sh*t. #1 stunna

 

Thats awesome man. I like snowboarding too its crazy fun. Good attitude. Push it then. take it somewhere im sure ya can with an attitude like that.

 

ya, that is a good attitude for it. everyone keeps telling me that i am going to slow down but i just tell them that this is just a resting period so i can come back and whoop the other riders ***. i cant wait until march when i can ride again. PT tonight at 5, i bet he is going to stretch my knee to 115 degrees tonight.

 

Yeah, it all depends on the extent of the injuries. I'm not sure what made mine so bad, I'm still not. Glad to hear your up and walking good, nice to know someone's was quick, lol. Good luck

 

lets try to figure this out, I am 18 so i still heal quick like a kid, i had no ACl, my meniscus was so so so bad, he said it was the worst he has seen in at least 10 years, and my MCL was almost completely torn. it could be that i had pre-op pt. dirt bike season next year woohoo, i can already smell the race fuel haha.

 

Hey i finally got around to taking pics of my knee braces and my scar, sorry for the quality the digi cam batteries are low.

first knee brace after i crashed
