Elbow dislocation... Ouch - Snowboarding Forum

Cormier · 01-09-2013, 10:39 AM

Couple beers in and goin a tad too fast... Hit a little rise with ice, slipped, landed on outstretched hand, and had a hard time finding where my arm was at because of the messed up angle...

24hr shot from last night, even more bruising now up into the armpit

Quite a bummer that's for sure

damn man how long are you out?

I saw a chick at my local hill this past weekend walking down while we were riding the lift with ski patrol all around her. Heard one of them say she dislocated her elbow. As someone who has dislocated an ankle, I can imagine how much it hurt...

Done that one before. Also don't drink and shred this will teach you.

Ya seriously. Glad it didn't break, confirmed after 2 sets of X-rays, just had ultrasound too that may show some tearing

Y'all don't even know how slow I'll be goin when I get back on my board

How you doing man? Dislocated my elbow yesterday and thinking that's a season ender for me. Did you go to PT? Any advice on recovery?

BurtonAvenger · 02-03-2013, 06:19 PM

It's not a season ender. I was out for 6 weeks with mine, spent 6 months in intensive pt doing all sorts of exercises. The sooner you can move it the better.

damn that bruise and x-ray both look nasty !!!!

Makes me feel better about mine. I slipped out ona rail n arm got behind me. Could see in video it hyperextended. Xrays showed verysmall fracture. I rode for 5 more days but kept it simple til i could leave early w my friend. As soon as i left i missed 20 inches of snow in 3 days and iration n macklemre concert n sia in denver. But ur post makes mefeel better. Could be worse....

That xray is nasty...how did they get it back in?
You might be a good candidate for trying out whether vinegar actually helps fade bruising.
Get better soon and icccccce.
