BROKEN ELBOW

[Splatfreak]

Well first off hello all. I just got my first set of Powerizer pro's from www.xtremeimportz.com. I ordered them March 31 and just got them 16 of April. I'll post my unboxing vid later. Well I got them setup and strapped on with my elbow and knee pads. I was able to walk and stand in place right away. So I started to jog up and down my driveway and then down the block and back. This went on for a hour or so, I stopped for a short break(because I'm really out of shape). I was going to go in the house but was having so much fun. I went for one more run down the street. On the home stretch 20 feet from my back door on my way in. I lost it, you know when ur running and ur body gets ahead of your feet and you can't stop. I fell strait forward my right arm was locked strait. POP goes my elbow.  Just got back from the doc he said it's broke. There was to much blood in the joint to see the break so I have to go back in  and have a Orthopedic Doc look at it in the morning.

well that sucks big time, just goes to show that all the protective gear can't save you from bad luck.  Hope it hasn't turned you off to bocking, and hope you have a speedy recovery

   Funny thing is I can't wait to get back on them. 6 to 10 weeks if I don't need surgery.

hope u have a speedy recovery too, but you could keep bocking and not have to use elbow protectors for 6-10 weeks lol just use ya cast if u get one

but being serious hope it heals fast and u can get back ingto bocking

Sad to hear about you elbow but its great that you are not giving up. If something is fun, stick to it. You seem to have a good spirit. Best of luck from me

That, right there, is why I don't wear protective gear!   

We'll you can at least mod em out do some jogging, work out your legs while your out of commission.

Wow thanx for the response and support. I have some pic's posted of the X-rays.  Picture Not Approved yet. The good news is the Doc said I don't need surgery or a full cast for that matter. They put me on light duty @ work for 4 to 6 weeks.

  Yes yes mods and jogging. Going out for some tape for my springs and I have the stuff to make some socks. I'm so out of shape I should have been jogging and lifting before I got my rizers. I play to many online video games. I also host LAN partys and a LAN web site http://waoglan.com/ . Sat on my butt to long this winter, well now with the splint I can't play games. Time for a jog! Thanks again every one.

You poor thing! I broke my elbow in two places 6 weeks ago and boy does it hurt! Mine was unrelated to bocking (and unfortunately I was sober so it hurt all the more!).  Its now pretty much healed - a few twinges when I try and straighten it quickly or try and bear weight on it, but I guess its a case of just building the muscle back up.  Hope it doesn't hurt too much, I really feel for you!

My first fall was due to the exact same thing Splat. My body just getting too in front of my feet. By the sounds of things I got off lightly. Merely bruised the muscle in my elbow. Still couldn't bock for a few weeks.

Hope you heal fast :-)
