placed on the 10-day DL
bad crash on the trails immediately following "i don't think this is a good idea" led to falling headfirst for what seemed like three stories into a ravine full of downed trees and landing squarely on my shoulder has me out of commission. phone call from the doctor just confirmed x-rays negative/normal so nothing torn or damaged but still lacking most of my range of motion with significant pain when not using the arm and worse when i try to use it. doctor's guess is 10ish days off the bike with lots of ice and range of motion exercises. legitimately could be worse and was planning on taking a couple of weeks off the bike after the royal 162 this saturday. timeframe has obviously been moved up but disappointed there's no way i can do the race.
Glad to hear nothing is messed up.
ReplyDeleteHeal up soon!!!

Dude! You're fricken nuts! Glad you're not too broken.
ReplyDeletea hard ice crash off the bike this winter trashed my shoulder. Did a lot of range of motion exercises and after 2 months, I got a shot of cortisone, and then healing started. Hopes your heals faster, but a shot of juice may be considerable if things don't get better.
