wow, hope your ok. limbs dont like to bend certain ways

yah im doing ok.. i went to the er and they set it and took xrays said it would be ok tommrow its only dislocated .. 7 days later i went to my family arm still looks the same as days one he says wow, and tells me what the xrays said that it was dislocated arm is fractured and they are chips of bone all in my elbow.. and refers me to a bone specialist... i do not have insurance and am currently laid off and the bone doctor wants me to give a 450$ deposit upfront.. so lets say i never made it to the bone doctor and its been 5-6 week and i cant move my arm all the way or pick up much weight but i can use it and move it around about 70%.. still hurts alot though.. so im doing better i guess i can say but i have no idea what the future might hold for it.. any docs on here that can help me lol

Keep some ice on it man. Make sure you keep those arms in side. Good thing your healing. Who needs a specialiest anyways

if those chips get into the cartilage or between the joint you will really be in trouble. don't use it much and don't pick up anything, let the fracture heal, then slowly work the elbow.

I have had 4 knee reconstructions, foot reattached, compond sprial break of the femur. spent 3 years out of work, 2 of those in rehab learning to walk and use a leg that has no felling from the knee down. I know how feel

YIKES glad your ok but listen to what BIGE said stuff like that will catch up with you when you get older if you don't take care of it now.
also take it from some one else .i have had a knee surgery, fought that for years then a total knee replacement and total hip replacement.
going through joint replacements is no fun either.

just a little advice from a cranky guy and you probably know why

pud

lol i appreciate the advice its been 5weeks and i think i am doing ok i pulled the motor and transmission in my g/f's car new motor,clutch, and all the mounts.. so its ok i just cant fully extend it straight.. i walk around with right straight arm and a slightly bent left one.. im just now starting to walk around with it out of the sling...sux... i am worried about the chips messing my cartiledge up i already have to get cortizone shots in my knees like ever 2 years..

on a second note.. i know all yall get these buggy bashes going on but what about atv's? are yall all buggy and no atv or mixed or what? i have a atv i would like to ride with you guys when im recovered fully. i got a fully built 87 quadracer 500. you guys heard of them?

atv's are welcome,

Every bash I've been to, my brother-in-law comes and he rides a quad. It's nice having a 4wd quad around in case somebody gets in trouble. He's pulled a few of us back to camp a time or two.

Yep a few quads are nice to have around for sure
