Well, I did it again.

[ATC]

Pretty positive but not 100% sure but I think I broke my forearm again.

Today we had a demo at a local school and I attempted to break 11 garden bricks. Got through half of them or 6 to be exact. I had just broken my arm only 7 months back but felt really good as only 3 months ago I broke 6 bricks with no pain.

Well I guess I bit off just a little to much as I think I broke the arm again in the exact same spot. I have my old cast so I just put this on for now and will see a doctor on Monday. It is going to stink to be out for another 6 weeks.

*sigh*

seriously?

 

[ATC]

Yes, sitting here now getting depressed. I only now just realized that it has not even been 1 year since I last broke it. It just felt really good and I have been breaking small stacks and did not even think about it anymore. This is going to suck if it is broken. I hate not being able to train.

 

[Twin Fist]

ok, and the lesson here is ?????

 

[ATC]

Wait one year, fully, then ramp up slowly. Maybe I should have stayed with 6 maybe 7 bricks at most.

 

[Twin Fist]

good, now, when are you gonna see the doctor?

 

[granfire]

There are so many bad jokes to be made

anyhow

get well quick!

 

[terryl965]

sorry to hear this, maybe you need to see the doctor

I realize it's already Sunday afternoon -- but see a doctor TODAY. Options for treatment are often time-sensitive.

And maybe it's time to give up the breaking? Seems like YOU'RE breaking more than the bricks are!

 

[Stac3y]

Sorry you're hurt. When I broke my wrist, I had to baby it for a full year, but after that the x-rays showed it was stronger than before I broke it. So maybe you should break with the other arm for a year?

Hope you heal quickly and completely, this time.

Ouch! get that looked at ASAP. And DON'T RUSH BACK TO TRAINING TOO FAST next time

Get better man.

Peace,
Erik

may I ask what strike?

 

[prokarateshop]

Why is'nt your arm in a cast so it can properly heal?

 

[ATC]

may I ask what strike?

downward forearm strike. I know, stupid. But like I stated, I felt good and was not even thinking about my previous arm break as I had been breaking shorter stack of six with no pain. Even did a few knife and ridge hand breaks too. So my previous broken arm was out of mind. But 11 bricks is not 6 and there is a difference in the angle and power needed.

I will see a doctor today (Monday). I had our dojang Dr. look at it and he put a splint on it and perscribed some pain killers until I see my Dr. That is all the emergency room Dr. did for my previous broken arm also.

Guess I won't break for year with my right. I can only break 5 or 6 with my left so I guess that will have to do.

Why is'nt your arm in a cast so it can properly heal?

Once I see my Dr. it will be. I have a splint on now. The splint is just as hard and tight as a cast but a little big. Splints are not like the two sticks and a wrap you see from the boy scouts. It is pretty much a cast made out of fiberglass but really really bulky.

Hope it isn't broken, but I suspect from what you've written that it is.

Recuperate quickly-drink lots of milk and imagine little workers are cleaning the area and then putting the ends of the bone together, then welding them.

LOL, I read that in a book one time....


Add vitamin D, too.

Sorry to hear, best of luck in a speedy and complete recovery.

I know someone who swears by "Bone Mending Pills". It's some Chinese medicinal mix that is supposed to help the healing process.

I have the link to it, PM me if you'd like to know more.

It is official, the arm is broken. However not as bad as the first time. Just a small crack not all the way through so will only be out 2 - 4 weeks. So now I don't feel to bad anymore. Still will take it easy this time. No more breaking with the right hand for 1 full year. Will also double pad or protect this arm when sparring also.

Thanks all for your supporting words.
