4 tendon issues in my ankle, shin, wrist and elbow, a slightly tweaked hamstring, a very sore VMO muscle, lots of tiredness, and really feeling the effects of long term stress. I also didn't sleep last night and have a thumping headache today.
My physio now gives me mates rate as i'm there so often. The receptionist greets me with "hi claire" but when other clients come in, they have to say who they are there to see and what their name is...

A reasonable chunk off the tip of my index finger on my left hand, the result of trying to cut up a lime for the bazzillionth G&T. Uncunning.
I have been bleating about it all week and some of the injuries on here have made me decide to shut up about it all and be thankful.

Got a hooked plate holding my right collarbone together - another op in a few months to take it out
Regarding those with nagging shoulder injuries above - I had a painful right arm after a rotator cuff injury and couldn't get rid of the pain with stretching and exercise - it was scar tissue I think as an MRI looked ok.
But I fixed it when I swam round an island in the Maldives using just my arms in a breastroke fashion sweeping from above my head to right down near my crotch. Was snorkling so my head was facing down and I had the fish and reef to look at, and progress was slow (1.5 hrs to get round the island) but it fixed my arm nicely and built up my back muscles very quickly.
I have said this in other threads but worth repeating here as the results were so good and if anyone else is struggling with a shoulder/back problem...
2 weeks all-inclusive was £1250ish but when you add up the cost of all the physio appointments and gym membership that had no results it was good value indeed - plus all the beers were included :-).
Obviously I will be going again this year

Shoulder/upper arm is still not right after a crash on the big FOD tabletop at the end of August. Physio exercises and some mild dumbell things are slowly helping it to improve. I can ride, its just if I go OTB and land on this arm again it'll probably put me back to square one. So I have no confidence at the minute and probably won't til its healed properly

Sprained ankle - six months on and I've just started (gentle) running.....It's ok on the bike though.
Posted 1 year ago # -
Crushed heel and a Talus in 4 pieces. 7 pins and a plate in there.
50% loss of movement.
Although it is nearly 8 years old it is like walking around with a badly sprained ankle all the time.
Hope this counts as current as it always hurts!

Until i read soops i thought i might have a worthwhile contribution. Dude Thats a fecker of an injury.... If youre still riding amazing...
I have done both clavicles, thumb ligs, neck disc and femoral artery...
Clavicles one healed k another resected at lateral end.
Thumb ligs op to repair pretty well useless. Great surgeon but really bad injury and crap patient so all a bit rubbish
neck disc k now after 3 months sleeping on the floor
the biggy was the femoral artery. Someone mentionwd impaling themselves earlier. The same thing split my artery, it tamponaded and had repair and now its just dead weird but blood goes to my thigh and beyond so all good.
Majority of this is in 18 months of 2008.
And riding again
Thats my aches in summary
graze to elbow and knee when failwd to unclip when virtually stationary outside my garage after weds ride. and a few post ride beers......

I tried to take a chunk out of my ankle with a chainring the other week and it keeps weeping...
I also did something silly post pub in the snow to my thumb which seems to have rectified itself (mostly).
Oh and I don't have a heart any more, just a swinging brick...
I am thankful I haven't any of the serious shit up there^^^ nasty!

Cycling in the second week hurts hard.
