Has anyone on here ever had any tendon damage espesically with their fingers?

The night I crashed I went to the ER and he said 90% of my extensor tendon was damaged... but some of it was still there he had be bend my hand and you could see them running down. He said the nerves were fine if I remember correctly and said I may loose mobility and need rehabiliation.... (they put it in a splint)

Basically not your main knuckle but the one down after that in one little tiny area was grinded down or at least the top layer was taken off after my leather gloves burned through.

So I go to the orthpedic and he says we'll keep it in a splint for two weeks, then I come back and he checks the scab and has me hold up the finger straight which I can do just fine it doesn't droop down.

Now he schedules me to come back in another two weeks... sometime this week and I'm worried... He said we have a 6 week time frame to where we'rer able to successfully perform the surgry.

But still I go to google and look up.... the results are not promising they are talkign about never being able to use my finger again. I can still ride I mean just fine a few nights ago but I'm going to hate not being able to use thsi finger if I loose mobility.

Right now I'm in a splint and I know some other people on here crash all the time and most likely have had tendon damage before... So please post up and what happened, etc.

Thanks so much....

 

That's fine but this is StuntLife... Where people get hurt quite often because of the risks associated so I figure someone on here somewhere has gone through what I have and can give me an insight.... Jeez

 

I don't nessicarly want to be a pro stunter I jsut want to be able to ride balanced point stand up wheelies and roll decent stoppies.

Yes I'll get flamed on but what's new?

 

If your tendon is still in tact at least 10% from what I hear, like mine is, it'll rebuild it's self thats why you dn't want to move it

I accept the risks I'm just pissed I didn't get better gloves... I'm getting the Icon Timax Short Cuff next time

 

Wait... When I crashed I was perfectly fine I'm talking about the aftermath and all I did was ride my friends f4i around the lot slowly.

I'm glad I crashed.... I was gettign ****y as hell on my bike taking it into turns way to ****ing fast on a bike not built for it.... Eventually something would have happened now it made me shape up and realize, i could have died.

 

This isn't a broken finger I grinded it down.... This is internal sensory type things that allow me to flex my finger, it's damaged bad.

 

The reason I crashed wasn't even specificaly related to my riding skils... in a way yes but if my bike was in tip top shape and I had got it serivced as well as new tires (i got a new rear people had told me you didn't have to change the front for 10,000) and thats why i crashed, a bad front tire not my riding skills maybe I should have been able to power it but if you encounter a tankslapper on a Ninja 250 your a goner.

 

It had plenty of tread on it.... It was the original tire though and I put 8,000 miles on the 1500 in a month

Supposely it was cupped
