Title: a chipped elbow??
Post by: Tko788 on October 26, 2009, 09:01:04 PM

As many times as i've fell on my elbow, i've never thought of feeling it after the swelling went down. A few days ago I felt my left elbow and realized that part of the point is gone. Instead, it feels as if its chipped. It doesn't hurt unless i bang it on something. I can move it with no problem and can't feel any bits of bone moving around. I just wanted to know if:

anyone else has this problem

Would this fuck up my elbow in the future?

Is a doctors visit worth the money seeing as how i dont have insurance?

i have the exact same thing.. except in my right arm. i've slammed numerous times on it, but just recently i was trying to ollie a double set, kept sticking on the landing and the weight of my body went right onto my elbow like three times in a row. i'd obviously had swellbows before that, but not that big. my arm was fucked and now i can feel shit moving around in it too. i'm not sure if its bone, but it has a sort of cartilage-y feel to it. and where mine is isn't on the point.. its up like an inch or so.

naw i have the exact same thing. so far its alot more scary than it is painful. ive had a chip the size of half a nickel missing in my elbow for about two years now. i dont really fall on it anymore but when i used to the hole would just get bigger and more sensitive. some kid cracked his noggin at the park one day and the ambulance came so i asked one of the emt dudes about it. he felt around it for a while and said you cant cast or fix an elbow chip, that it will take at least a year to heal on its own without falling on it.

ya, i have a chip in both my elbows. it kind of works its way out...not sure how but the chips arent there anymore. not really worth a doctors visit unless it really really hurts i guess?

I chipped and hyper extended my elbow playing flyers-up once it sucked ass to mouth dick. I had to wear a cast for around 6 weeks.
