Damn, I can't even believe you left it for that long. I usually never fracture or hurt anything to where it feels "weird" for a prolonged time, so this is like a new thing for me. My elbow literally does not feel right somehow. And this is speaking from me, where I usually fall and smash my elbow plenty of times.

Haven't broken anything yet but I imagine you can tell haha . And ya rails fuck with me so much , I can hit ledges with a lot more confidence but trying to hit a smaller rail gets me more spooked then a tall ledge

If it feels weird and you're worried about it, you should get it checked out.

I usually go the opposite route and just wait a few days to see how it feels before opting to do so but that's just me. I've had several bad bruises/contusions that made things feel weird or broken and after a few days of rest, they felt better.

Only thing recently I can think of I forced myself to go get checked out was my knee which I'd previously torn my ACL in, and that's the only reason why. I was scared I tore something again cause my whole knee felt tight and not right, and the way I landed was funny and bent my knee in a way that if I didn't catch myself, I probably would have torn it again. Other than that I'm usually stubborn and just let it resolve itself unless something's very obviously not right haha


Ice it and keep it elevated for the time being though.

I've never broken a bone, but all my joints are a mess. Ligament and cartilage damage in both knees, hips are a mess, bad back and trapped nerves etc.

Hope you heal up soon buddy

I destroyed my ACL in my left knee two years ago.
Was trying to halfcab a set and the floor was wet so I ended up slipping during the spin and landed with all of my weight on my leg bending it sideways.

The funny thing is I had it the first try but it wasn't on film so I had to do it again, now I got the crash on film from two angles.

About 25 years ago I had all of the bone-age shattered in my right elbow by a slap shot while playing goalie. The guy had played for the Hatford Whalers, and college at North Dakota for a while, so it was not an "adult league" slap shot. It happened during warm-ups. Whole arm went numb and the whole area was all crunchy. Played the game. Afterwards, just iced it down. Never went to the doctor or anything (didn't have health ins). Took about a year for the pain to go away. Now it is fine, but sort of "lumpy"....

not saying that you shouldn't see a doctor...I probably should have, but didn't have a choice back then...but the body can heal itself pretty well...

I broke my elbow and I find it hard to believe If you have the same injury as me that you can post on vital

I had 3 months off the bike, that was 10 years ago and it still bothers me now while riding.

PS. Brake lever stuck in my belt loop whilst turndowning a box, crunch!

Just get it checked, you never know.

Get it looked at.

Ice, elevation, and take some ibuprofen/Acetomenophin for inflammation/swelling and to dull the pain down. Anyone who says they don't take the occasional pain med "because they are manly" is just stupid and stubborn. Why sit and suffer when you could dull the pain to a tolerable level and be more comfortable? And by no means does that mean eat the stuff like candy, but "being too manly" is a stupid reason.

A truly "manly" person takes care of himself, regardless. That includes going to the doctor for things that might be embarrassing. Had I not gone to the Dr. back in 07 for something embarrassing, I wouldn't have a left nut and possibly wouldn't have a son.

I'm turning 18, yet I still feel young. And you know how males at my age can be when there is a lack of hand function... >;D

18 is young.

Then you do the stranger or switch it up.

Or go without?

Life is not just about yanking it like a monkey in a mango tree.

That sounds painful as fuck , hope the healing process goes smooth

Took a 600mg ibuprofen pill a day after, and 3 days later now and I'm easing it back into riding. YES More like rushing myself into it and aggravating my injuries, but I never learn my lessons with injuries. I also have a habit of picking at scabs too... Hate doing it, but I can't stand it.
