either way anything to do with the back or neck is scary.
From the injury update thread:
Right now Trey is awake and moving feet, toes, etc. He even fist bumped me
Seeing that he has full movement, that is about as good news as you can get at this time! In most cases if there is any nerve / cord damage, swelling occurs and movement is impaired. That doesnt sound like the case here with Trey, Thank God.

And no, it is not standard procedure if their are two vertebrae that are compression fractured. If there is no spinal cord damage, Trey will be walking around in just a couple days and be just fine down the road. If its "just" two fractures, he could be riding again in as little as 3 months.
From the other thread, i wish more riders wore something like this, not saying it would of helped Trey in this case, or not. But i sure dig the backplate, and wish i would of been wearing something like it back when i got hurt, who knows? maybe it could of saved me from this life of hell!
check out some of his under armor, which is a custom-made piece from Fox Racing that integrates the sleeves from their Titan Sport Jacket, a well-ventilated chest plate from a Proframe LC Roost Deflector, and a back protector from Ortema.
Pit Row
Anyway, my back started hurting a lot, so I went to the chiropractor and they did a full spinal x-ray, something I'd never had done before. After they read my x-rays they asked me, "So, how many times did you break your back? Once, or twice? It's hard to tell from the film". As far as I knew I had never broken my back, but I crashed so many times, so hard, and every Monday after a race my back and kidneys were usually hurting so badly that apparently I had broken my back and never even fucking noticed it.
So now I have this little "pressure spot" at my T-7 where the whatever is bulged up against my spine or whatever...they haven't advised me not to ride, but I kind of wonder if I'd be more susceptible to major injury if I crashed hard. I guess in some way having a right wrist that's totally fucked up has possibly saved me from finding out, since I rarely ride because of it.
So I guess every back injury is different. I just cannot believe that I broke my back at least once and didn't know it. I guess it's possible that I hurt something else at the same time that kept me off the bike long enough to heal, because otherwise I was no doubt racing the very next weekend, and I don't remember ever sitting out a race because my back hurt. Weird.
wtf do I have to do to get a pic to show up in here?
If not, those are the things that happen when you don't. Not saying it would have stopped it but it may have helped.
Bet he thinks twice before riding with out one agaiin. Just hope he heals up ok and Ryan also.
