rio_ee Started a new thread Severley Broken Pelvis- getting back in the saddle
10/8/2022 3:04pm First time post, long time visitor. Not here for sympathy but just overall advice. About 3 weeks ago, I took a digger at a local So Cal track while practicing. Ended up breaking my pelvis pretty bad (shattered the left into 7 pieces and sheered off the right side completely from the socket). Also broke 7 lower ribs with minor...

He's definitely not perfect, but he's doing it on live national television. You're posting on the internet with a "preview" button and still can't spell correctly. Chill down.

Must be tough getting passed on the outside by a 17 year old kid on your last years bike that is supposed to be worse than your current bike. Btw, Jett was 15 seconds off Craig with 11 minutes left with traffic ahead of him. Just sayin.

4/1/2020 8:51am You definitely have a point on the nerve pain and range of motion. I'll have to address those things. Trying to prematurely get on a bike or force the issue will only lead to trouble. I'll know when the time is right 👍

Like others have said, it's pretty simple to explain the broken pelvis and related injuries. What most don't expect are the other "non" related items like nerve pain, range of motion, strength, mental attitude. You've got a long road ahead but you'll be fine if you keep your head on straight. I got broke up pretty good in 2009. Some others here have said similar but I never once thought about that being the end of my racing. My injuries were all thoracic - nine ribs, two vertebrae, collar bone, shoulder blade and punctured lung. I was out of work...

3/30/2020 8:58am Totally understand. I think priorities change when you have a family and I dont fault anyone for taking a step back to focus on family. I'm at the point in my life where kids are probably in the near future. Having this accident while having children, wife, mortgage, etc would be more stressful to say the least.

Whole lot of nope. I miss Moto, but I have other things in my life that interest me as well. I still keep up to date on everything Moto. The itch is always there, but these days I have a family to provide for and if I was unable to, I don’t even want to think of how my girls would suffer. I still have all of my gear, circa ‘08. Injuries like this change how most think, but there are the select few that have balls too big for mere mortals to carry around. They get back on the...

3/29/2020 6:02pm It's amazing how similar my condition is to yours. As you mentioned, I also have pains running down my left leg with a foot almost as swollen as yours once was. Currently on gabapentin. I'm concerned about the nerve damage and if this will be long term. The surgeon originally told me it was because I had stretched some of...

...but it felt good to get back on one yesterday! Yes, I'm embarrassingly slow, got arm pump after half a lap and had some sketchy moments but I love riding so I was all smiles

3/29/2020 1:28pm Sound advice. I think quality PT and getting after it hard is going to be one of the keys for me making a successful recovery. Riding is in my blood. Learning the 80% rule is going to be key. I love the FC450s, they're great bikes! As long as you're having fun, that's all that matters 👍

3/29/2020 12:02pm The issues you are describing is almost exactly what I am feeling. My left ankle, foot and toes cant move and it feels like numbness with some feeling of pins and needles. My left foot has been swelling pretty bad, as if it were almost broken. This past week has seen the swelling increase to the point they did an...

3/29/2020 10:18am Appreciate it. In terms of nerve pain, I definitely have some down my left leg through to my foot and toes. Cant flex my left foot at the ankle or bend my toes up yet. I'm hoping its temporary and not connected to my damaged L1-L5.

3/28/2020 6:38pm Thanks bud, I appreciate the encouragement! These injuries are never planned but as you said it's ultimately up to the individual what path one chooses. My accident happened on the main track at Pala (Fox Raceway).

Rio, that is gnarly. Heal up quick! As for advice on the injury I can't exactly relate (knock on wood) but I hope to see you back out at the tracks. Sounds like the consensus with everyone in here with similar injuries is go off of your gut instinct. Nobody has the right answer but you. Cole Seely's injury was very similar from what I saw, obviously he retired from Professional racing but he is still able to ride very well. Good Luck with everything. PS not that it matters but what track did it happen at?

3/28/2020 5:40pm Thanks for the great advice bud. It's definitely going to be an interesting journey back but I'm looking forward to getting after it. Dirty Harry did say it best!

3/28/2020 5:33pm Thanks for the tips, I couldn't agree more. I had a chance to speak to 7eleven and getting off the opioids is going to be my first priority. Those pain killers just do a number to one's system and can be addicting if taken too long. Disciplining myself to do PT on a regular basis is going to be another...
