I think its just your capillaries bleeding under the skin. Its not a painful procedure, Doc just used a needle to drain the blood out. Had to have it done a few times before it went down. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I couldn't say, I just know I had a large lump below my hip that had about 5 syringe loads of blood sucked out of it each time it was drained. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gooba Posted September 20, 2019 Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 Who has broken their wrist/arm i did mine nearly 2 weeks ago just got it out of bandage and into splint, how long until it’s strong enough to get back on the bike 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Urustu Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 Hey Gooba, I fractured my left radius with an ulna dislocation last year on the Dartmouth Fundraiser. I had surgery to have a plate put in for the radius. The fracture healed quickly (within the first 12-16 weeks), but the dislocation took much longer to recover (around 9 months). I had a very good team looking after me (Surgeon was Andrew Oppy - highly recommended for any riders with this kind of injury), and my OT was Hayley at Re-Wired (also highly recommended). I've been very critical of TAC in the past (working with patients who had trouble with them), so I have to admit that they were an absolute dream to deal with when I was injured. They covered all of my treatments and loss of income, which made a very difficult situation much easier to deal with. It's good to know that the money we pay for the service is not wasted. With regards to your fracture, you should be pain free fairly quickly, as long as you’re keeping up with your post-op rehab, and back to light activity at the 3-4 month mark. That time frame can blow out considerably if you have complications, which usually come about from infection, or doing too much with it too soon. Hope all is going well with your recovery mate.

Gooba Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 Thanks for the reply Rus Yeah can’t fault tac been really good cover everything.Been about 2 and half month now, very small amount of pain, more so in the joint I didn’t break, I can bear my own weight on it now doing a few push ups and pull ups etc hopefully not too far away, it is starting to get hot though which isn’t ideal Did you have much pain on your first ride back? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hey Gooba, It sounds like your recovery is going really well. The wrist will take longer to recover due to the fact that there are so many joints. Doing plenty of hand and forearm strength work will increase the stability of the joints and should eliminate that last bit of pain that you're experiencing. If the pain persists then you might need to see a hand specialist OT who will be able to sort things out for you asap (TAC should cover the treatments with the OT). I didn't have any pain during my first ride back. I was really careful about my rehab and didn't want to risk having long term issues with my joints, so I only jumped on the bike once I was certain that I wasn't going to have any issues. I also took it really easy on the first ride to make sure that I wasn't going to smash it straight out of the box All the best with the rest of your recovery, Gooba!

Let me know if you have any questions, mate. Otherwise, all the best with your recovery. Cheers 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
