What leg injuries have you had (caused by cycling)?

How did it happen and how did you fix it?

Just doing a wee bit of research.

Area: knee
Injury: graze
Caused by: falling off
Treatment: kissed better by your mum

Howdie Brother.

pes anserine bursitis of the knee. Sorted by seeing a physio.

1" cut across calf down to muscle,
Falling off and catching cable tie end,
Glued, then glues again and steri-stripped after it went septic.

Cuts
Bruises
Scratches
This inside my ankle

resulting in this pedal modification

Forgot to say how I did them.

Just riding along except for the ankle which was saving a young childs puppy from drowning.

Still healing up from 6" long 1" wide gash on calf – caught on a random branch (of all things). 9 proper stitches, 9 paper ones.

Has that got a SPuD cleat on the bottom, WCA?

Sheldona got a bad knee strain from standing at the side of his bike like a sailorboy.

4'' down to the bone gash to the right knee.
happened at dalbeattie at 10.30am, bought a bottle of tcp in the village, applied in the park, and bandaged with my sock.
proceded to ae to ride the route.
drove home to wakefield arrived at 8pm, proceded to pinderfields hospital for knee scrubbing out and 16 stitches putting in.

Knee, soft tissue damage. Performed a spontanious frontal arial dismount & twa**ed said knee on the ground. Thought I'd done something serious it hurt that much.

caused by over zealous overtaking, took 10 months for the feeling to come back in the skin beneath my knee, lovely oozy scabs though (oh and a broken set of pace forks and a split and twisted Cove HJ frame)

rd, bigger blisters on my tool after a vigorous session of rumpy pumpy……. 😉

Were you w4nking with the studed glove on again? 😉

scuffed a pedal on the floor and ended up breaking my right ankle. Foot was pointing at 3'Oclock..

change your boyfriend's brand of lube?

Iliotibial Band syndrome (itbs)
Had it in both legs / knees after doing longer distance events than i'm used to. Recurrent flair ups, hope it's ok at Kirroughtree on Wednesday 😯

😆

Attempting to bunnyhop, foot slipping off pedal, pins impacting to shin. 6 perfectly circular scars. M'edTFU.

martymcfly – try stretching glutes – that should help.

ruptured patella tendon

car cut across my path when I was riding home(super fit triathlete at the time)

Top sports surgeon flown from the big smoke to Leeds to operate , had to remove loads of rear passenger window glass from the 3" hole where my kneecap had been(now up on my thigh)and used a mixture of wire and disolving(that don't disolve but go manky inside you!!)stitches.

spent the next 4 months backwards and forwards to the physio and really put myself through a lot of pain to get the 97% mobility I now have , had the wire removed from the tendon at 5 1/2 months and spent a further 3 weeks back on the sticks.

It took me nearly 12 months after the accident before I would go near a road on a bike again and decided that I would only ride mtb's as if I get hurt it's likely to be my own fault.

Give me broken bones any day , soft tissue damage sucks big time.

Nobby Nik on my front wheel that folded over during hard cornering. Deposited me on to the ground and embedded the chain rings in to my calf. 3 days before skiing but fortunately didn't impact my holiday 🙂

**** owwww..!!

jedi – what is hidden under that lot?

had it all taken out now too 🙂

Ever get any knee problems now – stiffness or pain etc?

not really 🙂

only lost 8 weeks riding in the 18months they said i cant ride 🙂

Good man.

4 weeks after having the metal and bone graft i was riding herts.then 4 weeks after having it all taken out too

A slow speed tumble onto large root caused what turned into 'shrekfoot' (a haematoma) as my Mrs hh named it; thought it was nothing when I got into the car at the end of the ride, and then I got home an hour later…

I tore my calf muscle playing rugby 6 weeks ago. Cycling caused it though I'm sure. Still not fixed but I can get 20 miles or so out of it without problems now. Running or jumping is out of the question though.
Besides that I got a chainring gash in my right knee after a chain snap incident. Didn't bother with stitches but now wish I had as it's quite an ugly scar.

Knee impacts into the ground and stem requiring layoffs
The odd head impact into ground and once a tree!
Broken toe on tree root
Rib impact – bruising only
Shoulder impact last weekend – not broken, but hurts. Going to see physio Monday.

countless knee lacerations
a haematoma in my calf that took 6 months' treatment to shift (ow!)
a row of chainring punctures similar to above, which also resulted in a numb section on the side of my foot

Got hit by car.

Broke femur.

2mths in hospital on traction.

That WAS 25 years ago but my leg healed perfectly thanks to the use of a steimens pin and traction. No probs with it ever.

Would not want to repeat that event tho'!

Nothing of any significance – the worst was a 1 cm full thickness cut on my elbow with some underlying damage that caused a tiny bursa. steristripped the wound and MTFU – the bursa went in about a year

Trying to show the youngsters how its done at Dixons Hollow, Dalby. Still had a hematoma like half a melon 4 weeks later. 2 Bust ribs to go with it.

Worst one was a broken tib and fib in 1989 while riding home from work on a rigid spesh. going too fast and lost it coming off a footbridge over the river in Bedford. Very neatly folded my leg round a kerb.

I always reckoned it broke where the traction pin went through from when I broke my femur

Lots of cuts and bruises as well
