yea those health services docs hand out x-rays like candy. I had one for my foot too. It is doing really well now... but I have a pretty noticeable muscular imbalance between my left and right calf muscles. I also now am getting orthotics. Great arches but you can't see them anymore w/o support. I think I randomly sprained my ankle to catch my foot problem at an early age Bayden if the bottom of your foot is giving you lots of trouble because its tight then you should stetch your akillies on the floor with a towel do 30seonds and then do it for another 30seconds with your knee bent. Also you can put the towel down on the floor, sit in a chair, keep your heel planted while turning your foot out to grab the towel and pull it towards your other foot. do this 10x then 10x in teh other direction. To make it harder put a book on top of the towel. This is what they had me do when I was getting the sharp pain in the bottom of my foot. The muscles were tightening up down their due to lack of use. After a few days of this things got a lot better! Good Luck!

Go to the doctor and demand "Novahistex DH (hydrocodone-phenylephrine)".
Doctor gave me that for my sinusitus, and I was on cloud nine for 6 hour spells. It was awesome. I'd venture to say that it can cure anything.

MY GROINS HATE ME.
Ms. Rocket Sled The Ex-Racehorse has been inside for a week due to field flooding. I didn't ride her yesterday due to slight clavicular refracture. And she just got started on beet pulp (read: SUGAR) 'cause she's a little ribby. Yeah, think of an ADD kid without recess on too much Sugar Crisp and you'll get the idea.
Apparently, today aids such as "walk on," or "how about we bend like a horse and not invert and lean in like a motorcycle and fall through the outside shoulder and either slide into the dirt or slam into the wall?" and, "let's walk calmly over this pole," now mean: "GALLOP!!," "GALLOP SIDEWAYS WITH MOTORCYCLE TURNS!?," and "LEAP THREE FEET OVER POLE AT SIDEWAYS GALLOP!!" We were out there for an hour and a half galloping in circles and jumping poles. She's not balanced enough for me to sit down in the tack without us both going flying, so I was pushing with all my might with my legs while in half-seat (read... butt not in saddle, quads/groins/knees/ankles/calves taking all the abuse) just trying NOT to react, NOT to haul on the reins, but push her forward into the contact (the galloping is an evasion). I kept thinking she'd tire herself out. Hah. We were both DRENCHED.
Morgan, if you're looking for a good time to box-punch, I'm about as bowlegged as a cowboy and can only run in inch-steps. I also can't defend myself 'cause my good side's sore in the collarbone.

kristyn, you should take up cycling. its a passive sport and wont result in such atrocities. Okay, Aaron... Just riddle me this: When you aim a horse at a jump, the horse JUMPS it. Unless the horse a) knows you don't really want to go over it, or b) decides "you crazy! We can't clear that!"--then the horse stops. When you aim a bike at a jump, you get a broken clavicle. Which is safer now? PS, Morgan, do you really think something simple like lack of uterus would keep me from bearing children?

at least with a bike you can eliminate the wild beast variable.
maybe olympic knitting or extreme chess is better suited for you.

Put my weight on the clavicle last night and it gave further since the frisbee-throwing. Apparently X-rays suggest it is not broken, but I've heard that before. X hours in the ER and the final verdict from the doctor is: "I can hook you up with a sling." Thanks, got a pile at home.
When I pried for practical advice, he said not to use it at all for a week then 'test' gradually to see what it will take. Geez, maybe I -should- apply to med school--I could have made the same diagnosis.
It feels about like it did 6 weeks after the second fracture. I'll go by those guidelines: careful with the horses (no jumping, no falling), and stick to the road bike for now.
Okay, maaaaybe some really careful MTB.
Damn, sorry to serious up this thread. Err.... So my hands got covered in grease yesterday and they were really dry and chapped and now I can't scrub out all the grease because they're like giant cracked callouses!
Bayden, any luck with the aliens? If not, some custom tin-foil booties are in order!

waiting on the x-rays to see if in fact the borg hq is up in my arch. i went for a little ride yesterday because the temptation was simply to great to resist, and my leg went numb up to my calf. so, maybe i'm getting the signals from the mothership itself now.

Bayden, sorry to hear you're being assimilated from the bottom up. At least it will take some time before they reach your brain, right?
I'm tellin' ya, custom tin foil booties. Stylish -and- practical.
Staying off the bike, doing your PT religiously and takin'r easy can't hurt, either.
But who am I to give advice? I couldn't resist bicycle temptation, either. You just don't realize how much intact clavicles aid in riding until you exhaust yourself holding your shoulder in place without their full cooperation.

So I was out in the back yard and jumped up onto the concrete stoop. And missed. And smushed all the toes on my left foot.
And THEN, I'd just slathered on the tanning oil and was limping my way back outside--when the sun suddenly disappeared. I refuse to wash it off until the sun comes and sizzles it away (unlikely), so everything I touch turns to coconut and the cat won't leave me alone (and I can't even run away to escape her sandpaper tongue).
Morgan, don't take this the wrong way, but my uterus is yours.

I had a mole removed. I'm not sure if you could refer to this an injury though as I am now 0.5 grams lighter. Should be back tearing around in a day or two.
