dislocated my elbow yesterday. anyone else done this? how was recovery?
was the most pain, i think ive been in. luckily im visiting the |UK and got it xrayed and reset for free. also got to try fentanyl for the first time before they reset it.
ex-gf of mine dislocated hers snowboarding, it chipped the end of the bone and she wound up needing surgery. She lost full extension of her elbow due to scar tissue.
If the X-rays came back OK and no one mentioned floaty bone fragments, you're probably going to dodge any further work, so it'll just be physio and rehab.
I've dislocated my shoulder a bunch of times, so I feel you, the pain is something else.
On my end, rolled my ankle for the first time in almost a year and about 230+ days of skating... fairly annoyed as it was on a heelflip, and i do those all the time. Rolled my front foot right over the nose, caught napping I guess. Probably only a grade 1 sprain, but think it'll take me out of anything other than cruising around for a couple weeks. Walking on it OK after 2 days which is a good sign, back to spelling out ABCs, ice packs, and my balance board i think.
