Injuries...

Many, probably just about all, of us have endured some type of injury. Whether from a sprain or to a broken bone, most of us probably have visited the doctor or emergency room because of hurting our bodies.

For me, it usually is the emergency room, much like the 7 different times I visited the emergency room back in 2006. This is quite because I'm clutzy or just have bad luck, but part of being in the motocross world. Being 19 years old, I've sustained 13 or 14 broken bones, 3 major concussions (2 of which I was knocked out), 3 minor concussions, 1 dislocation, many stitches (no staples), a few hyperextensions, 4 surgeries, and a lot of doctor bills (thanks to good insurance.) Needless to say, it all begin starting at age 4.

But until now, I never had really injured any body parts below the waste. When I say until now, it just so happens that this past weekend, Sunday 04/13 (bad luck 13), riding my motorcycle. I actually wasn't racing, or doing anything stupid as many people would say. I was riding down the street and after turning around it just came out from under me. Well, I landed on the knee that I had been having problems with already previously hyperextending it at work, and then at HipHop dance. Now was a lot worst, as my left knee went out left wards, or in other words, bent in ways that it should never bend.

So, once again, the familiar faces at Urgent Care saw me again. Luckily after X-rays nothing too serious was done, besides a bunch of stretching and pulling of then ligaments, tendons, and all the other good stuff that holds our knees together. But of course, I came out with one of those big knee mobilizers, and some crutches. After a day, I fled from both the mobilizer and crutches.

If anyone has ever had a cast, they know the feeling after getting it off after several of weeks, that the joints just don't move. This happened after a day, and walking or getting around with one bummed knee is difficult. So now my task is trying to get it to move again. Out of all the injuries, even the worst ones, this is frustrating and probably even worst then those. Injurying the knee is one part of the body that needs to lack any injuries. Basically the point of my blog, was to possibly get any hints or pointers on helping the healing process to getting it back to normal. The other little injuries I sustained before weren't to serious, so it didn't take long. Now with minimal movement, and lots of stiffness (and of course being sore) some good pointers may help out!

 You make me so grateful that I've only broken a pinky toe in all my life! Good luck with your healing process - many times over because I'm sure you'll need it frequently! =)

 Thanks very much! I hope not, now that I'm selling the motorcycle. I'm trying to see my way out of these injuries.
