Elijah Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 The other day I was hanging out with my older brother... his wife was gone sunday, so we hung out on the town and saw a movie... we had a great time... Anyways, me , being the energetic person I am, decides to jump over a trash can just for fun... I jumped it, my pants where to loose, so I didnt pull my legs high enough which ment when I landed, I rolled... luckly I know how to take a fall so I just dusted my self off and laughed... Well the next morning I woke up and I have a huge lump on my right arm (near my elbow) Odd thing is, it doesnt have a single bruse mark, its just swolen like heck. I went to work today... that didnt work to well, I was supposed to dig a hole to move a brace for this house we are building, my arm cant take it, when ever my shovle hit a rock, It'd shake my arm like mad... and the ground is really rocky in the area I was digging SO NOW, Im home with an ice pack, wasting my life away at my computer waiting to get a bandage of some sort t wrap my arm up -_- BTW, as most of you know, Im not really a pitty me kinda guy, I just felt like shareing the story with you guys out of boredome.
Boba Rhett Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 There's NO bruising? Bruising is usually a good thing in a situation like that. I'm going to go ask someone far more knowledgeable than me about it.
Elijah Posted December 10, 2003 Author Posted December 10, 2003 Yea, thats the thing thats odd... its not brused at all..
Alegis Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 There's no such phrase that involves wasting your life and computer together Doesn't sound good at all..Perhaps a spider bite, see if you can stick to the walls
Elijah Posted December 10, 2003 Author Posted December 10, 2003 Spider bites around here dont swell up the size of your fist... last I checked... Rumor, Ill probly take your advice.
El Sitherino Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 Either you broke it or you fractured the hell out of your arm. That's the only thing I can think of that would explain the no bruising.
Elijah Posted December 11, 2003 Author Posted December 11, 2003 I can move my arm and hand without any pain... it doesnt hurt untill I put a small (very small) about of presure on it.
C'jais Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 A friend of mine had this happen to him - no bruise, just a good, clean hit (he fell on the floor). It took several weeks before it had healed. My sympathies
Joetheeskimo Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 *Raises eyebrow* I can't be of much help here, though my mom could....but I ain't bringin' her here
DarkLord60 Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 odd story indeed. But how do you injure yourself that bad and not know? Well get better dude.
Sam Fisher Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 I've never heard of a wacked arm without a bruise... odd. All of mine have been either bloody or black and blue;)
Elijah Posted December 11, 2003 Author Posted December 11, 2003 My boss is not to happy about it... But... oh well, I'll survive.
Boba Rhett Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 I just got around to talking asking my dad, who's a doctor, about it and by my description, no discoloration, painful large bump, he says you may have seperated some of your muscle from the bone. You should definitely have it checked out.
Elijah Posted December 11, 2003 Author Posted December 11, 2003 Thanks for checkin' that out for me Rhett... Im gonna get it checked out soon I think.
The Truthful Liar Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 It's 2 AM, sorry for my lack of coherence if any and constant misspellings which is many in the following. Ouch. I tried that before last summer. I tried to jump over this iron bin in an English park, some of you might know what those are like. Solid bastards. Well, the first time I did it, I almost jumped on top, I was completely psyched since this thing is about chest high. The second time.. well, lets just say it wasn't pretty. I jumped with my other leg (the left one) and didn't get a proper boost, completely loppsided and fell on my back, I could've broken/damaged my neck/head if I hadn't acted quickly and raised my head before impact. The wind was completely knocked out of me for a few seconds which was strange since normally it takes longer to recover, but after a few minutes I felt a strange sensation in my leg but I said to my friends that I didn't want to look and pull up the pants legs (is there a name for those?). Moments later I felt even stranger sensations and was forced to lift one side up, only to reveal that my socks had been completely bloodied and I had a huge gash in my shin, it kept on bleeding for a week and half, I didn't go to a doctor or get stiches (sp?) and the scar remains today. I'd have to say the strangest thing from all that was the fact my leg pants (whatever) had torn at different parts but I hadn't been cut on those areas, no idea how that happened since I thought I only banged my leg once on the bin. Unfortunately, I cannot say that this was the bloodiest stories I've been through and far from what happened to another friend of mine - which involves a bike. o.O
Guest Jed Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 Ow, ZDawg. I'm actually recovering from a bad fall...slipped on some water near my boots while going to take the dog out and landed full-body force on my left knee, right dead in the middle. On stone tile... It's still recovering, I put ice on it the first three days afterwards, but I walk kinda funny now....does a weird "locking" up thing while I'm walking and I'm afraid I may have to go get it checked out...
Elijah Posted December 11, 2003 Author Posted December 11, 2003 Dang Jed... I feel ya, I have alot of knee problems, I've had knee surgery twice, after breaking my feamer(sp?) and having to have rods put into my left leg.

Knees are a tricky thing...as well as elbows.
Elijah Posted December 11, 2003 Author Posted December 11, 2003 Originally posted by Darth Rythe You could have fractured it. o_º... thats what I was afraid it might be... hopefully Ill go get it checked out tommorrow...
Darth Rythe Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 You do that, when I had a fractured elbow I got X-rayed, and I had to wear some apron thing, made of lead, so they said.
Jedi Luke Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 Holy Crap man!! Sorry to hear you damaged your arm. Good luck with the X-Ray and hopefully its nothing too serious.
BongoBob Posted December 12, 2003 Posted December 12, 2003 Damn Dawg, that's what you get for acting likwe an idiot...well you said you're not the poor me type of person, so I do the exact opposite. Hope it's not too bad though. Yikes.
