bing Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) Was out on the new stock, trying a static up to rear and it went a bit pete tong, resulting in this Broke my fibula, more specifically the end off the bone on my fibula, and wrecked all the ligaments and tendons as well. It's the first time I've ever broke a limb, and its proper buggered things up now. Worst thing is I was supposed to be going to London with the g/f for 3 days, not any more. So that's me off my feet for 6 weeks, and off the bike for considerably longer. Put a right dent in me trying to win the novice title at tyke trials now. Ah well, it'll be reet . Anyone in Yorkshire wants to borrow either bike or parts off either bike for a few weeks, let me know Edited March 19, 2013 by bing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dezmtber Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 I know nothing about broken bones, but Ben at l,a,c in congleton broke his heel about 4 months ago and is back on the bike after recovering. I am sure you will be back to normal after 3-4 months. Knowing u Dan you will be back on the bike in less than two months mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich J Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 You made it sound like 6 weeks it too long to recover, comparing it to someone who took 4 months.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dngr2self Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Just shout at it to man up until it heals. It should knock about 20% off the recovery time. Get well soon mate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted June 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Got an update. It turns out I cracked my heel in 5 places, and stretched all the tendons and ligaments. So now after 12 weeks, I have been released from the fracture clinic and passed over to orthopaedics, due to my good progress and looking after it. My foot is well on its way to healing up, the joint is in the right place, and I don't need surgery yet to my relief. I'm still quite weak, and walking with a right limp, but I'm getting there now. I've had little hops around the garden, I can still do it, but I wouldn't like to drop off anything higher than a kerb for a good while yet. Hopefully I can have a very small play at radfest. I cannot stress enough about proper rehab, because its helped me loads. Trust me lads, you don't wanna do this. Its bloody painful, and takes ages to recover. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradJohnson Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 I know the feeling man. I broke my shin bone, growth bone and my ankle pretty badly that my foot pointed the wrong way. It took 9 weeks until the plaster was off and then i had to where a boot that made me look like a robot. I took me 3 weeks to learn to walk again as the plaster was up to my groin. I found that sitting on an exercise bike for an hour or so a day (in my case it was all day because it was mid summer and i had nothing better to do) helped to loosen up my muscles and started to help me gain strength back into my leg. Also some of it is in your mind, the day my plaster was taken off the doctor told me to walk on it, and my mind couldn't process it so my leg just wouldn't move. Anyway, enough of my unnecessary babble, hope you're back to full health soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben duda Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 Hello there. I'm the Ben that Dez refers to, I was off work for 13 weeks and off the bike for probably the same amount of time. It's near enough exactly a year from breaking my heel and it still aches now and again I don't think it'll ever be 100% to be honest. My mothers well into all the herbal medicine and cures, she got me some comfrey cream from the local natural and health shop and I'd say it helped a lot! when I went for my physio the guy was really surprised with the movement I had in it considering it was a Nasty break, I broke the part of my heal inside where it meets the leg bone (the ball joint part for ease of trying to explain) Hope everything heels up for you buddy I was so gutted when I broke mine I was supposed to of been going on holiday the following week but couldn't, couldn't go to work, drive, ride my bike or muck around playing football etc with my lad. So immobile with a leg injury! Hope everything goes well for you mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted June 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 I'm getting alot better now, getting more movement back day by day. It aches like a bitch though, I suppose it's something I'll just have to live with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
