Seperated my shoulder Sunday as a result of bailing from my longboard at 40mph. I tore a couple ligaments during the fall and have atleast for now lost the ability to support my right arm without a sling. The ironic part is two days before the incident i lowsided at 40mph across 2 lanes of traffic without a scratch. I had an uneasy feeling something bad was going to happen while i was longboarding, should have listened to my gut. Im young so im hoping to recover faster then expected. Im also a physical therapy aide by trade so i kno exactly what to do to get back to my normal strength. hopefully i can start work and riding in half the time. Until then the closest ill be coming to riding is reading cycle world.

sorry about the fall. I'm in PT right now too. But you know it all...young healthy bodies respond faster, and the right PT works wonders. Just be patient...8 weeks actually flies by pretty quickly (at least week 9 - 16 will :laughing)

Luckily, you weren't hurt on 2 wheels. That screws with your head when you ge back in the saddle.

+1! More so than you think. I felt fine riding on the street after my Thill lowside but when I went back to the track I was 6 seconds off my previous pace, even slower than my first weekend out.

Level 2 AC separation, and 4 rib fractures and i was back out riding in under 30 days. It has been about 60 days now and it still has healing to do but hardly any pain with full ROM.

I did spend the $ on a McDavid shoulder brace.

I needs to be washed, but very helpful in recovery (holding the arm in proper position without a sling). If you want to borrow it, PM me.

Appreciate the offer Richard, but im healing up faster then expected. I can support my arm already and almost have full range. Just a little pain when doing certain things now and then.:party
