[Closed] another day, another injury - a little more painful than the micro-black eye

You shouldn't be allowed out!

I did manage one ride in between without injury.

anyway, be nice as you might be riding with me on Thursday nights soon

Dislocated?

I hurts more when I raise it but only above about 110 Degrees.

Your window sill decorations are a little odd.

[i]Don't raise it past 110 degrees, then[/i] - Beer in the top of the frdge

[i]Your window sill decorations are a little odd.[/i] - Left over after an earlier medical experiment and a bonsai in the background

[i]dislocated[/i] - dont think it hurts as much as the last few times I dislocated it and seems to move more easily. I reckon it is just bruised

You heading to Brighton Wca?

The trees are very close together you know...

Hope you heal quick!

I can see your well clipped bush in the mirror.

Maybe get some more frequent flyer miles at your local medical establishment?

Rotator cuff? That would swell. Did mine back in Sept at Eastridge UKGE. Still not healed now. Did snap shoulder blade in half at same time tho. If I could offer any advice (from experience), don't come back too soon! I did and may have to pull out of an Alps trip! 😥

Looks like your Acromioclavicular joint - Classic 'pop up' on your shoulder. Put your left hand on your right shoulder, then try to lift your left elbow upwards. Chances are it will hurt like buggery. Don't take my word for it though - shoulder is a complex joint, get to a good physio and get them to have a look.

Looks a lot like when I did mine.

Surgery awaits!

I'm confused by the whole lefty / righty photo thing - which one is pranged ?

Mine looked like that when I ****ed my AC joint. Could move it but very painful in certain positions. 12 months later ended up with surgery when physio failed to correct it.

Oh no! Sending good wishes and seriously hope it isn't the AC joint.

Looks like an ill fitting bra.

You appear to have one odd hair on your right shoulder and no others

This clearly makes you some sort of freak of nature and should immediately surrender yourself for medical experimentation.

Oh, and left shoulder looks borked

I think I am starting to suspect the reason that WorldClassAccident chose his username....

My money's also on a disrupted AC joint, looks very similar to mine a couple of months back, did you land directly on your shoulder.

AC disruptions come in different flavours depending on the degree of separation/ soft tissue damage - treatment ranges from ibuprofen and a sling to physio to surgery - probably worth getting yourself an X-ray so you know what your in for.

In good news - mine looked lumpier than yours and I had severely restricted movement but I was back on the bike in about 6 weeks - so hopefully you'll be a bit quicker!!

Picture fron the front would be a better way of identifying a AC joint injury. To me that just looks like you've just got a great big lump on the end of your acromion.

Looks like about a Grade 1 or 2 AC separation. Deffo get it looked at and a good physio to advise on recovery exercises and who can strap it up properly. Shouldn't need surgery. I managed Passportes du Soleil just over 3 weeks after doing mine 🙂

I've got a 4 inch scar across the front of my shoulder form doing that!. That's the bad news, the good news is that it it's now stronger than the other shoulder. That's the other bad news, it's going to end up needing a 4 inch scar too one day!.

It doesn't hurt to do the moving stuff suggested so far but bending my neck forward to look down hurts quite a bit.

Is it actually worth wasting 2 hours tomorrow at A&E or is there better advice?

:faints:

Were there any ladders involved in this bit of awesome, and can you please stop posting up photos of your unfit next door neighbour ? 😆

Edit: Your mint(?) looks ****ed.

Swoon....

Ever thought about waxing?
And something definitely doesn't look right about your shoulder; I think a professional should be consulted, soonish.

Got a minor injuries unit near you? After several visits to my local A&E over the last couple of years I now use the minor injuries unless I am bleeding out.

Doesn't look to AC jointish to me based on the photos. I'd leave off A&E for this evening, given that it's saturday night. If it's not easing off in a couple of days head to minor injuries or GP.

1. There's something wrong.
2. I always had you as a lot taller and handsomer
3. Looks mostly like a swelling rather than an actual dislocation or break.

If they amputate your shoulder could I perhaps buy it from you? I think it would make a nice roasting joint.. If I had a restaurant I would bill it on the menu as 'shoulder of fortune'

Basil, not mint

shoulder of fortune

Basil? - not ****ed, just fawlty

Looks awful, Sotty General for you sonny..

Boxelder, pun of the year! 😀

Pop down to the RHS walk in centre after 2pm, Claire is working this PM so she may end up seeing you. X

Gone to RSH walk in wore it is quiet. With a bit of luck I will get through in time for a morning ride

With a bit of luck I will get through in time for [s]a morning ride[/s] todays calamity

GF got knocked off bike by a car last week, has a similar looking (but much prettier) shoulder mis alignment. Physio told her that it was likely to remain like that, although movement and strength would return.

Not that painful and doesn't restrict movement too much but will run the look of any off the shoulder dresses I wear

AC joint looks okay

It appears i have broken my collar bone recently and the latest crash has probably just inflamed to old injury

Cleared to ride again!

Apparently the nurse who saw you said you were lovely.
Missus is having a look @ your x rays too.

She was lovely too. I would love to hear the unedited description of the injury translated by MrsBee if you are riding next Thursday
