riding after broken leg

[sDizzle]

to break it down real quick, had a rod put in my leg when i broke my tib and fib in half...so its been almost 4 weeks now and im wanting to ride but its still hurtin and sensitive as hell, def not planning on jumpin back on yet, but wondering who else this has happened to, and when you were able to ride again, shits driving me nuts already and just wondering how much longer im looking at

Talk to your doctor, seriously. It can cause further serious complications if you come back too soon.

Yea but look at it from the point of having to live the rest of your life with a leg that is constantly in pain because you never let it heal properly

start physical therpy asap

Ive broke multiple bones in both feet, hyperextended both knees too, I started stunting once I was able to jump as high as I could into the air and land without much pain

broke 3 bones in my foot, was in crutches for about 4 months, then a walking cast for 3 months after that. Fully healed after about a total of 9 months. . . It was worth waiting that long to do anything crazy because ever since I've had no pain and no troubles. I think that foot might actually be stronger than the other one since it had the full recovery lol

2 rods 8 screws. i feel yor pain man. a good 6 months before myn healed. but i tried to start early walking n stuff and it hurts all the time still

do your physical therapy even if you dont like it. i broke my leg in 06 and im slowly getting close to normal. if i would have stuck the the PT then i wouldnt have any problems. 1 weak leg will mess with your head when you get back on and you will end up trying to baby that leg and your progress will slow or stop. plus 1 weak leg makes the bag of tricks smaller.

my buddy broke his tib and fib, i believe his tib was so bad that a chunk of bone had been missing, so he needed a bone graph, anyways, he started pushin it too soon on it and really fucked himself up, it was 2 years after the fact that he finally got back on a bike, and now has lost all interest in stunting (although he never admits it)

all this helps for sure, mine was a clean break the dr said and nothing frayed or crumbled but just need the rod and 4 screws to line it back up, thank god for the VA theyve paid for all my recovery and ive got a physical therapy nurse that comes to my house a couple days a week, it def helps a lot and i dont mind pushing it knowing that ill be up and running soon enough....and Tanus that makes alot of sense about jumping and no pain i didnt think of it like that before
