Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / April 2008OTP - My first athletic injury
Well, now that I've lost weight, and decided to try figure skating again, I got my first athletic injury. I fell last Friday morning and landed on my arm. It was still painful so I went to the doctor and had xrays. I didn't break anything, but he said I have a muscular contusion. So he gave me naproxen, but I can't take it as it makes me VERY dizzy and lightheaded. So I'm taking ibuprofen instead and using a heating pad. But life is still good :) Carole > Well, now that I've lost weight, and decided to try figure skating again, > I got my first athletic injury.

Take it easy, kiddo. Nell Ouchie!!! Glad you didn't break anything, but hope the pain eases quickly and that you get back to your fun soon!!! Hugs, . . . . Donna . . . . 1.) ANGELS EXIST, but some times, since they don't all have wings, we call them FRIENDS...... 2.) J.K.M.A. The pain has gone down a lot, Donna. And the doctor said that I have good bones (at least in my arm :))) Carole > Ouchie!!! > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > 2.) J.K.M.A. > Gotta watch those landings but doesn't it feel great (not the contusion, of > course) to be in a position to get an athletic injury? ;) Yea, I actually laughed when it happened. Everyone came over and asked me if I was OK, and I said yes. And let's face it, falling is a part of skating :))) > Glad to hear you didn't break anything. Me too :)) > Take it easy, kiddo. I will. The skating club invited me to a potluck dinner tonight so I'm going to go. Haven't decided yet what I'm going to bring. Maybe I'll just stop at the bakery on the way :)) Carole > Well, now that I've lost weight, and decided to try figure skating again, > I got my first athletic injury.

Glad it wasn't worse though.

When I am sore after golf, it is a "good" pain to me and I don't mind it so much! GaryZ >> Where else but here would most everyone understand how good it feels to >> actually be able to get hurt doing something? [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > and I don't mind it so much! > GaryZ well, I did kick myself few times last night for doing too much yesterday - but it was such a lovely day and the weather is turning rainy with below seasonal temps, rather than the aboe seasonal ones of late, beginning tomorrow. I'm all ready now for my plants from the Arbor Day Foundation to arrive so I can put Mike to work digging holes. ;-)  SignatureNann remove the Gator cheer to email me Change everything. Love & forgive. Yeah we have a way of doing that Nann. We are so tempted when it is nice out to overdo and get done what we could do before. But it is to me a satisfying pain because at least I have something to prove why I am in this much pain, instead of nothing to show for the pain I do have at other times. SignatureLove and Hugs to all Jo the squirrely one I am nuts about you. > > well, I did kick myself few times last night for doing too much [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > to > arrive so I can put Mike to work digging holes. ;-) > How true this is Jo.

And since Kate & Gwen are NOT going to be breaking any more bones, that nasty orthopedic virus is wandering around looking for a new home. ;-) I so envy you being able to ice skate. My hypermobile ankles simply will not cooperate. Sometimes I wonder if I would have managed to work it out anyway if I'd grown up in the Netherlands.

Actually the reason most people think they cannot skate is that they've only tried it on rental skates. Those are not the best skates. I bought my boots and blades when I still lived in NYC. I was lucky as a woman had just bought them and her husband was transferred to Bahrain. She paid about $400 for them at the time (now they would be $750), and she sold them for $170 :-)) They weren't even broken in :))) So I got a great deal and really, really good boots and blades :) Carole >> ((((((((((((Carole)))))))))))) So, dd you ever think you'd be so happy >> to get an athletic injury? <bg> Maybe you should buy some of those [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > Carole I agree with you. Even I could ice skate with decent boots. Its honestly much easier than roller skating. Jo I envy you - I've always been too scaredy cat to try ice skating. It looks so fun. Heal up quickly.

Do I need to send them to you. ;-) I am so sorry you fell and have boo boo's. I wish I were there to kiss them and make them better for you. You take care and be careful.

LOL, I actually have some bubble wrap left over from my last move. Maybe I should line myself with it :))) I am actually thinking about elbow pads and knee pads though :-)) Maybe I should get full hockey goalie regalia, LOL!!! My arm is getting better. It will just take time :) Carole :)
