I fractured 2 vertibrae in my neck in 1996 in a skiing accident. The neuro-surgeon at Geneva University hospital wanted to pin the breaks and have me back on my feet in a week or so. However, I'd have had restricted range of movement. After an airlift back to the UK and having been deposited in Oswestry Spinal Injuries Unit (the Midlands centre!), they took a very different and conservative approach. 6 weeks in traction, follwed by 6 weeks in a full torso cast, followed by 6 weeks R&R. Still at least I walked out of there. Many don't. I was back doing everything I did before, including skiing, within 6 months. Look after yourself Tom. Do exactly what you're told and you'll be back on track in no time. Good luck. I hate to hear about these major injuries. I fractured 2 vertibrae in my neck in 1996 in a skiing accident.

Maybe I need a bit of a calcium boost, time to eats me spinach. Thanks guys, will ask about a bone density test and all that jazz. Maybe I need a bit of a calcium boost, time to eats me spinach.

Road cycling's worse than mtb because of the lack of impact but mtb is still pretty bad for it. Worth getting checked out. markrh is right, cycling’s very strongly linked to osteoperosis, we sweat out a bucket of calcium… Road cycling’s worse than mtb because of the lack of impact but mtb is still pretty bad for it.

Is that your shadowy mansausage just under the pins? Must be made of dense stuff to show up on x-ray if it is... Nice “pwned” shot. Is that your shadowy mansausage just under the pins?

Be patient...ask for a bone densisty test if you are youngish, hips are hard to break usually, good luck, mark. P.s. if you ever want to chat about it email at hampton.dawn@virgin.net hi tom,did the same in august 08, just about as fully recovered as i’ll get now (running, cycling,swimming but slight loss of flexability).

But ask about physio. There will be a lump of bone surrounding the break like a scar, this may never go away, and it could affect joint mobility.
