It was painful for me too (added it after you already quoted me). Mine was cannonballing off of a 15' high rock outcropping into ~18" of water - that I didn't realize was that shallow. Knocked me out cold, and I was black & blue from my neck to my toes, with a fractured coccyx.

My list is:

• Complete cutting off index finger at a 5 year old cutting out Xmas tree in cardboard with a razor knife
• Broken femur right leg/collar bone skateboarding
• Broken tailbone connanballing of cliff into shallowish water
• Broken tibia/fubula, skiing
• 3rd degree burns (oil) right hand, 2nd degree on face (the most pain)
• Fractured c spine, led to fusion C3-5 with Ti plate
• Left bicep distal tendon separation - bicep snapped up to my shoulder

Plus a handful of broken fingers.

You guys didn't drink enough milk as a kid or something. lol

i think i'd agree with the tail bone pain. I've wheelied over on my bike twice and landed on my tail bone. Though i tend to not go to the Dr or hospital unless someone makes me, things don't work, or things get worse. But both of those spills were very painful, both resulted in limping home and sleeping on my stomach for a few weeks.

Though, while mtn biking on actual hills i took a fall that was pretty painful as well. I fell flat on my front side from about 20' onto the ground. My thigh landing on a tree root & i was pretty sure i broke my femur. (but did not) The flat impact actually broke the skin through two layers of clothes. Defiantly rivaled the tailbone falls in the pain department. My thigh was black and purple for 3 weeks, the back of the knee on that leg ( i assume from being hyper extended on impact) was just as black, purple with some nice greens too for about 6 weeks. A few people actually had a gag reflex just from looking at the bruising. lol

Oh - didn't even discuss cuts that require stitches!!!!

How's quality of life after fusion - understanding it's upper spine, not lower??

Broken neck. I am fine. Worst scare, about six months post surgery, is that I was clearly jonesing to get back to driving events. I shouldn't have been there , but decided to take it easy and just sign up for a school.

It turns out at my instructor noticed me not moving my head enough to watch where I was going and physically grabbed my helmet, and twisted my head, saying "no, look over here". Huge pain ensued and thought I reinjured. Lol.

It was clearly stupid for me to be out there, when still in PT.

Good luck!

My mom has had both done, sequentially and it has changed her life. They actually make you walk the same day. It is pretty incredible.

I'm pretty sure we could've sent Lups in to kick that chip shot and she would've made it... Especially if we held a knife to a goats neck... As incentive...

Yep, two fractured at an outdoor karting event, got t-boned during an enduro. And I didn't mention a broken nose via face plant during a mountain bike race.

Jeesh, I've been messed up over my years.... Hopefully, all done!

[EstorilM]

So happy right now!

I would disagree.....the Vag expand for that purpose, plus it's all slimy and stuff so they can 'slide' right out....

Ever see a kidney stone? It's like a shard of broken glass....coming out of the penis.....over a couple of weeks....
