Who here has one? I do, "no surgery / stage 3" and it's been a little over a year since I did it. Other than the bone sticking up and some crackle pops in it I wouldnt even know I had it.
Get your motor back yet?
The Shop
mine was bad, and it would pop out very easily, (rolling over in bed the wrong way would do it) and very hard to put back in, (normally sedation required to put it back in)
Wow, Nevermind...I am still lost though.
Probably a softy from berth is my guess
I did it riding the first time, and a number of ways after that, got it fixed though key hole surgery and it was good for a year then i wrecked it again wakeboarding, then it went back to being bad again, a full open surgery fixed it for good,
my shoulder surgeon explained that it was a poor design from the factory,
Pit Row
I have broken over 20 bones,in that many crashes,been tbru the ER over 30 times i guess,never counted,
35 yrs of mx,you can count on one a year.,So,if you need advice,I prolly broke it.
My first shoulder,a guy landed on me after i was down,he ignored the yellow.
Broke my collarbone,blade,upperarm,ripped the joint.
8 weeks in a recliner,1st race back rebroke the collarbone.
2nd go ,crashed hard on same shoulder eh,14 yrs later,could not lift the arm.
Both times I rigged a pulley in the ceiling to lift the bad arm with the good.
All thru the range of motion,that way it dont scar down.
If you're gonna be stupid you better be tuff.
Edit: I should rephrase my first statement. I don't neccesarily think that no surgery is the way to go, I just know the surgery was not a good experience. It was successful and the doctor did a great job...but it was brutal
Doctors will tell you anything and everthing.
Broke my neck in 03,c3,4, laid in the dirt,unable to move anything,looking at my hand twitch uncontrollable,breathing getting weird,
Was totally paralysed,got dropped by emts,slammed headfirst at the bottom of my drive when they stopped,head shut in the door of the heli,
Walkied,well,shuffled out of the hospital 7 days later.
Doc told me 99% die on the spot the other 1% wither away.
Got back on track in 08 when i cut a deal to ride for a local honda shop,bought the bike for a dime,won more races.
Yeah,doctors,,,,,,,,,,,
I hated having my shoulder pop out. It hurt, but it just felt weird and you have to kinda hunch over to take the pressure off the muscle which puts strain on your neck and upper back. First time I did it I was complaining about that neck stress and the track medic freaked out and called an ambulance.
2/3 times the doc put me under to set it back in place because the muscles had tightened up so much, but one doc didn't - THAT was the weirdest feeling on earth. It was like busting a nut when it went back in tho, instant relief. Then the pain pills. I wish I could have just broken a bone like a normal person though, it really makes lifting weights or any kind of physical activity that involves shoulder movement above my shoulder line pretty difficult and uncomfortable. Don't even get me started on jacking off, my switch hitting days are over.
