not very humerus.

Hell, I was trying backwards manuals 2 weeks ago on Christmas break, fell right on my back super duper hard and also my right elbow. Felt like I had fractured it. Makes weird popping if you feel it, not like on my left elbow. And a few days later, I feel again and again and there's a bump that just doesn't go away, like a chronic swell. Still a teeny bit sensitive but it's definitely better. I fuckin hate backwards manuals. And I always die trying them out of endos, which I did in this case.... I fell back REALLY bad.

I believe x-rays cost like 85 bucks? My mom got a few x-rays done for 85 bucks a pop not that expensive if you ask me.... compared too "walking it out" and later on discovering you have to get more shit done. I haven't had any fractures that I know off but I believe I've had a couple close calls... did the area where you got hit get numb and tingle for a bit? That's usually a sign of a fracture. I think you've fractured something before so it shouldn't be strange too you.... either way man get it checked out if it sketches you out. I hit my elbow on my handlebar once and it hurt like a motherfucker I thought it "was fine" and it felt better everyday but I had a tiny little bump for a month and a half or so.... never checked it out though.

Go to the doc if you feel it's serious.

Get better.


I'd presume you fractured it , get it xrayed as mentioned to be safe. If it didn't bruise then it sounds like it might be a little compound fracture I think.

yeah true but if they don't see anything in an x-ray I should probably get more done, which I'll likely do anyway.

and it didn't go numb, but it definitely tingled for a bit.. That doesn't really mean it for sure broke though cause I've slammed the fuck out of other body parts and they go slightly numb/tingle, but are fine. just hurt for a few days.


It only sketches me out now that I read up on it, like before that I was like "eh probably not broken, it is getting better."

thanks, and that's what I'm afraid of. That means time off the bike, at least it's Winter though but still. Fuuuuuuuuuck

well I know we have had decent weather last 2 days but a good place to start would be not riding for a few days after an injury like that. even if it starts to feel better riding can reinjure you or make you worst then you were. prolly not broken but depending what you did landing. you could have torn a muscle. pimched a nerve damaged a ligiment there is a lot of tiny thongs especially on your elbow. hope you heal up soon.

I shatteree my right wrist once and kept riding for 6 hours before I realized it was broken. its not always as obvious as people say just keep that in mind

Yeah true, I know how breaks feel though, even hairline fractures. I fractured my hand years ago & it was a tiny hairline fracture, hardly swollen, didn't look out of the normal though, but I couldn't move my hand or fingers at all without immense pain for days. I somehow KNEW it was broken though.

Just months ago though I destroyed my shin on a tailwhip, bruised the absolute fuck out of it, it swelled up a lot and I couldn't even touch it lightly with my fingers though. even having pants on over it hurt it for days and even up to a week or 2, but that wasn't broken. Somehow knew it WASN'T broken though.

In this case, I'm quite confused. I believe it isn't broken, but after reading up on stuff, I kinda believe it is. But I won't know until I get an x-ray.

It's way more if you need more shit done too, friend of mine busted his lip open pretty bad before & they charged him around $1,600 just to glue it back shut after.

Another friend of mine needed 3 stitches. 3 fucking stitches and that alone cost an arm & a leg.

BETTER CALL SAUL!

Everything here is TL:DR, but i at least got the jist of your first post

Move it around, in every way you can think of. Forwards, backwards, up, down, round, make circles, stretch in in different ways. If it doesn't hurt, or it doesn't hurt much, or kind of hurts but you can stand it, then it's fine. It is and will heal itself in a week or so. It would most likely be a bruised muscle or bone, maybe it temporarily dislocated and popped back in - My shoulder does it all the time, just during every day activities.

If there's any point in which you have to stop moving it in that certain way because it hurts so much, you'll have to get to the doctor because it's 'probably' either dislocated or fractured. There's no broken bones anywhere, otherwise you'd know.

Update...

Still wasn't feeling too great in the arm, feels 100% when I'm not doing anything but still hurts to do certain tricks. Can ride & do little stuff like tables, 180s, manual 180s, other things, without it hurting, but other tricks hurt still.

Anyway, it was a whole week so I got an xray about 30 minutes ago and thank FUCK nothing's broken, apparently my bone structure looks excellent too so yay for that! Seriously so happy nothing's broken. Was told it was a contusion and that I most likely bruised the bone, but nothing seriously at least.

Thats good man

Sounds like a separated shoulder to me.

Is your collar bone sticking up more than usual?

Where does the pain occur?

When I did my shoulder I thought my elbow exploded and that I broke my humerus, but I destroyer my shoulder and the pain radiated down my arm, causing it to feel lower. (nerves )

I would take it easy, maybe not ride a couple days and see how it feels.

If it is still bugging you after a couple days rest, then look at going in.

EDIT: I see you already went in.

no pain anywhere besides in the middle of my humerus bone, but yeah haha thanks for the input anyway. I rested a week, rode very lightly the 1 or 2 days I rode & it felt fine but I still got it checked out just to be safe. Seriously such a relief hearing it wasn't broken, I've been using this heating pad thing for it too & it feels amazing now. Not quite 100% but getting there. Better safe than sorry though

Absolutely.

Always take it easy and rest up after an injury.
