I'll start:
broken scaphoid still not mended
soft tissue damage around left knee
left shoulder orbit a bit sore
I broke a nail.
****ed thumb.
Not ridden for a month.
Still feels uncomfortable to hold a pen and write so not sure I'll be out in the near future 🙁
was: I've not ridden since Oct 🙁 seeing the surgeon today for final checks 🙂 Back on a bike ETA is Feb.
Bad back - not done anything remotely active for about two years - can feel it 'giving' when I attempt a short jog or even when trying to do a gentle swim.
[i] I've not ridden since Oct[/i]
I keep looking at the rain soaked ground and thinking I've got a good excuse to avoid it but it doesn't seem to help very much.
It's got so bad I've actually done some running recently.
Broken thumb right hand not scaphoid though. Month in plaster 2 or 3 more weeks time go told no bikes till march looking for second opinion. Couple that with some month old lumpy scars and an injury induced beer gut. Oh and the cast is screwing up my wrist
Bad knees, worse in right than in left (torn meniscus).
Ruined cartilage in both elbows
Mangled ab muscle from way back that's just never really recovered.
Stress fracture in right foot (I think. Either way, my right foot goes fleshy and numb after a while and it hurts in the morning after I run.)
willard - I have the same right foot. Still goes numb 20years after doing it.
A huge case of chronic obesity ... caused by an accidental incident of massive overeating for the past 15 years!
Oh and a torn rotator cuff which is still not better 6 months in.
does ongoing sleep deprivation count as an injury?
My rotator cuff was also jiggered-cleared up after a bout 6 weeks. Also, right hand buggered due to a cycle lane incident 2 weeks ago. Still painful as **** when I lift anything heavier than a 3mm bolt. I'm now a left handed drinker.
Left knee, possible meniscus tear. Right knee, inflamed fat pad. Three years and counting... 😥
Oh and a torn rotator cuff which is still not better 6 months in.
When I have had that (twice on snowboard, once on MTB) I have found a course of extra strong anti-inflammatories (from the Quack) have worked a treat.
PFS & ITB problems in my left knee.
We're a bunch of old crocs!
does ongoing sleep deprivation count as an injury?
It should do, long term it's debilitating! 10 month old blobby jr being the cause here.
Also tendonitis in the achilles that's been dragging on for over a couple of years. Now pulled and torn ligaments in same ankle from an extreme dog walking injury, exacerbated by a fetching something from the car injury!
Never really had any long term injuries until I hit my late thirties. Now things just seem to drag on.
Left knee. Not been good for years. The damn thing doesn't lock out properly.
six broken ribs (1RH, 5 LH) smashed L1 spine and all muscles around it torn open. hope to be back at work soon- been off since Oct!
Does a Rotor Cuff ever heal? 2yrs on and I still can't hold a shopping basket in my righthand.
Bruised ribs from 2 weekend's ago
What physio are you doing for your rotor cuff injury hora?
None. I'm just doing pressups/the odd gym session. If I hold a shopping basket after a few minutes my shoulder 'drops'and I have to rescue the basket with my other hand carefully.
Torn meniscus in right knee. Can still play football, so not having it operated on yet. It only goes when I'm sitting down and twist in the wrong way. And when it goes... ooo-ow!
Left shoulder still twinges a bit from partial dislocation in August.
Right foot had had a dull constant ache since something heavy fell on it in august '09.
[i]What injury/s are you currently 'carrying'?[/i]
Broken heart.
🙁
Hit by a car 8th Dec 12 whilst road biking in the day time
Badly bruised right thigh and knee area
Plus whip lash to neck as hit from the side
and just got over Cellulitis to my right calf to ankle area
Still on crutches and awaiting physio
I have a touch of Housemaids Knee (hygroma patella) on the right knee. Lucky me. It was from a fall, not from scrubbing the floors.
I have FAI in both hips, had 3 ops and had 4 years off the bike. I am now back riding, a bit (when not got the flu), so dont give up hope anyone.
Broken T 6,7 and 8 vertebrae, and four broken ribs on the left of my chest, i had a ride in a helicopter and spent 6 nights in hospital. Had a simple over the bars at 31.6 mph and landed on my face/head, legs came up behind me and spine compressed. This happens on the 8th December haven't ridden since then. I can walk and I'm now 90% mobile. I can't work nor drive so my days are spent playing Xbox and surfing the web. And going for little walks. I am currently rocking this back brace for 12 weeks! Although I feel lots better and the doctors think it may come off earlier as I'm healing pretty well.

Tendinitis in both ankles and both knees. Early onset (i'm 30) of arthritis in left knee and left ankle. All of this is from one rugby injury years back
just seen yours plecostomus, i'll STFU now
Broke my Tibia at the ankle a year ago. Its still not right, I was told 2 weeks ago that I might have to wear an orthopedic insert in my shoes for life. The muscles around the joint hadn't gone back to the correct place after my operation.
The annoying thing is that it actually hurt less before my operation when I had been walking round on it for 5 months without knowing that I had a broken leg!
plecostomus is clearly winning at the mo but I'll chuck my latest x-ray into the pile

pic on the left is just after the op, pic on the right is from 2hours ago
me scaphoid has moved away from the other bone and there's talk of more CT scans and sticking cameras inside me 🙁
^^ ah yes but you had a op so you get +1 in my eyes. I'm so lucky I didn't have to have one! This brace is a nightmare to sleep in but it's doing its job, could have been alot worse.
I've *still* got a dodgy arm! Seeing the surgeon again next week...
Healing vibes in the direction of all!
Posterior Tendon gone on both sides.....now sporting what's known as my special shoes! Just inserts but hey they wouldn't be mates if I didn't get a ribbing. Lost most of last year riding but I can now drive ( it was braking and the gear changes) that were the issue and walk!!! 🙂
I pulled something in my shoulder about 3 weeks ago which still gives me gip.
I'm not complaining though, it's my own fault. For some odd reason, with my girls at the leisure pool before Xmas, i decided to try butterfly stroke for the first time in about 10 years.
I'm just grateful it's not both shoulders.
A bit of a sniffle, I think there's too much chlorine in our swimming pool. 😛
Dislocated my shoulder just before Christmas.
have some real problems with my right knee, need to get round to see the doc about this.
A few cuts on my hands from a fall at the weekend.
other than that im great
broken scaphoid still not mended
Same, 1 month till the post op scan for me! 😐
I've bruised my shoulder region on 1 side
will prob miss a week's riding (I hope)
it's the 1st "injury" Ive had in ages
pathetic 🙄
My cojohones seem to have shrunk. Is that classed as an injury?
And no cartilages in my right knee for 30 years and a bad back for a bit longer
Plus acute age syndrome
Lethargy and too much stomach
I think the two may be related 🙁
Finally getting rid of cough following virus over New Year, itching to get out running/on the bike. Cue pulled muscle in my back...the spasms are temporarily crippling - putting on my coat was an amusing event in the office. In the grumpy club.
Just back from physiotherapist, major work on right butt cheek, properly let out a few whimpers...spent Xmas moving around like an old man now feeling more mobile. 🙂
Same, 1 month till the post op scan for me!
My scan should be in a few weeks 😐
theres something a bit amiss with my right knee but two physios couldnt really find anything wrong and one had the cheek to say "cant find anything but make repeat appointments as it would be useful for my research" at £50 per session, i bet it would be useful.....
anyway, doesnt really affect me on the bike or running, just throbs a bit if my posture is bad at work, i work in a typical office, sat down at a desk so have "posture" and "go for a walk" written on post its to remind me...
hernia
Nightmarish back. Haven't ridden for pleasure or commute since third week in December. Getting fatter by the second. Seriously.
But going to the physio tomorrow, so feeling slightly optimistic.
Terminally ripped through my forties. Finally end next Monday 🙁
Separated shoulder from last May now seems a permanent issue.
Got my foreskin mashed in the fly of my jeans the other day, killer doing it but worse having to unzip to free myself.
Undiagnosed issues with both ankles and outside of right foot. GP has gone through tendonitis, stress fracture, 'soft tissue injury', gout, osteoarthritis, and has finally (after 3 or 4 'attacks' in the last 18 months that leave me unable to do more than hobble slowly and very painfully for a couple of weeks) referred me to a physiology/podiatrist. Personally, I suspect peroneus or plantar fascia problems.
I have a frozen left shoulder but afetr a few months of the bike i an ride again but even more of a mincer than I was before as its hard to push down on the bars
But I have an ongoing achilles tendon ankle problem. All very strange. It was fine last summer when i got a bit fitter. Now it rubbish. its normaly arch pain usually controlled by stretching but for the first time in ages the tendon is bit sore
It means i can only really ever ride in walking boots. hopefully it will settle down soon but as above i do wonder if the dreaded plantar fascia
Carrying an elbow "issue". If I try and pick something up with my right hand, fingers pointing to the floor, by gripping and lifting I get a pain in my right elbow and my grip doesn't feel "confident". Suppose I should go to the doctors. Been carrying it quite a while now.
Interesting reading this thread as I often chat with my overweight sedentary neighbour about how he as dog walker at best has no pain niggles and I as moderately fit cyclist is always carrying some minor grumble (both mid 40's)....seems like fit folk hurt more

^^ ah yes but you had a op so you get +1 in my eyes. I'm so lucky I didn't have to have one! This brace is a nightmare to sleep in but it's doing its job, could have been alot worse.
are your vertebrae cracked or proper broken, I smashed one and now look like this
I broke my mojo about 18months ago. If anyone knows of a fix for a broken mojo, please let me know
broken little toe, and my left ankle is knackered can't even do tip-toes on it needs physio I think, not stopping me riding though, it is stopping me skating as vigorously as I'd like and I can't really climb either 🙁

Broken vertebrae for 20+yrs, hip bone separated from femur at the same time so right foot turns 20 degrees out, ruined wrists waiting for exploratory op as can't extend arms without extreme pain and another op for throat issues...
Problem knees and feet, however popped my back getting camera out of camelbak this morning and been in spasm since 10am. Diclofenac and whisky helping a bit now.
Displaced some ribs in July last year, physio did some work to pop them back but when it was nearly there, it felt like one popped out.
Carried that "injury" until the New Year and went back yo sort it t first opportunity since September as I was so busy working.
He sorted it but in the meantime felt like he cracked a rib around the front and the tissue around the sternum? is well sore.
On pain killers and anti inflamatories since 2nd Jan until about a week ago.
Slowly recovering. All seems like it will be ok in about three weeks.
All because I hit the deck after a fly (thought it was a wasp) flew into my full face lid in Les Arcs and buzzed around my ear until I ripped my lid off.
Did something nasty last summer and now lower back can't take much strain and left leg doesn't quite work properly. Back on the bike but have to take it easy until my leg warms up, and I can't assume I can just thrutch up any hill I fancy on the single speed. I've just started Pilates to see if that helps, so I must finally be getting old.
I thought it was bad but lots of much worse on here 😯
Double fracture of the left fibula. I broke it in a 60mph SMIDSY in 1993, and they only bothered to pin and plate the Tib. Apparently you can live without a fibula, so they never bothered putting it back together. I only fall over occasionally.
I'm shorter than I was due to a couple of crushed vertebrae.
FAI in my right hip, so spending most of my life off my tits on codeine right now. Doesn't really stop me riding, but I pay for it the next day. Got an appointment with a "Young Hip Consultant" next month.
Wonder just how hip he really is, man.
oh yes, I dislocated my left ankle & broke the fibula in May '06 while out on a ride near Ladybower.

Fixed pretty quickly thanks to the Peak District Mountain Rescue team, Tameside General Hospital and Bradford Royal Infirmary who did the aftercare; and also to my riding buddies Steve, Boris & Tim who somehow managed to get my bike back to my car, which was collected later by Mrs_D & the next door neighbour.
Left leg is about 5-10% wider than right leg now though.
Getting some gip from haemetoma following bike accident 15 months ago. Going to tell GP this week that I want it drained as it's affecting my gait.
The usual random cuts and grazes... Hip's been giving me more bother than its usual- broke it, mmm, 8 years ago I think, good repair but the soft tissue mess never stopped giving me gyp and when I work it hard it lets me know. But you kind of get used to it, my GP asked "how long has it been hurting" and I said 8 years 😆
About six or seven years ago I was doing bicep curls of 50kg, and something twanged in my back - I couldn't move for the rest of the day.
Forgot about it til last year when I woke up and couldn't move my neck, was incredibly painful for about a week and stayed stiff for about 4 weeks. Eventually went away.
Came back on Xmas day, same thing again - it was getting better, then yesterday I dabbed near a tree, and my foot slipped on the snow, I fell about 1 inch sideways onto my shoulder on the tree - and TWANG! - did my back in again.
Neck stiff, back sore, tingly arm and fingers. I think it's time for a doctor's visit 🙁
I hope she's hot.
