[Squelchy]

i thought we could do with a thread
where people with injuries could come for sympathy and advice

and it's a good excuse to have a poll
to see what's wrong with us



anke is supposed to have an L in it

[Archy_is_God]

Good idea, marred slightly by the glaring omission of 'Back', surely one of the biggest problems experienced by lots of people?

Well, me at least....

Also, what about back-foot bunions, skin disorders and pterygiums?

[Squelchy]

i know
but it only lets you put up to 20 choices on a poll

2 inch ridge bust into my cranium

nearly snapped my neck at croyde last week

currently have a broken elbow

eardrum possibly fucked

Tibia is shagged

foot run over

left traps fucked

left shoulder fucked

right leg/knee gives way under my body weight

[northswell]

Broke my wrist in may that lead to ten weeks out of the water.

Got back in for August

Broke my finger at work yesterday so more time out.

[sidneysnake]

Shoulder and foot after going down the stairs on my arse. It was so hard not to swear my head off next to my 3 year old boy!!

[Poo Stance]

Stacked it on my skateboard doing a radical nose manual about 2 months ago. My knee still hurts, think I may have chipped a bone and its floating round in there as it hurts when I try to bend my leg behind my knee (really hard to pinpoint where the pain is coming from).

Gotta go see the doc soon I think. Dislocating the bugger countless times dont help tho.

So come on.....where this sympathy I was promised?

[Underdog]

Back here as well - for last 2 weeks plus.

but...........
Had a tentative hour or so in the water Saturday and no niggles since. Might have to head over to my favourite North facing high tide spot after work.

[Chris F]

Back too, but that is from hours spent stripping old varnish from decking in back garden.

Surely as back would be the common one, it would have made more sense for elbow and arm could logically be combined?

[Black]

My back is now killing me after sundays surfing. I couldn't make it in to work today. Its been giving me gyp for a few weeks but gave up the ghost on sunday. 2 sleepless nights since.

[J L]

My back was giving me issues but now it's all fine

[Squelchy]

when i did the poll i thought i wrote back after chest
oh crap

i wish i could edit it in now
but i can't
so maybe people can tick 'chest' for back problems?
and 'bum' is missing too

So come on.....where this sympathy I was promised?

there there
have some fluffy animals to make you feel better?

ACL reconstruction in my right knee circa 2001, never quite been the same since, but a big improvement on having a full rupture to the ACL. Good ol surfing injury!

Saturday at Gwenver I nearly did a Tom Carrol, as I went over the falls sitting on the nose of my board. Luckily it snagged the wetsuit material and only resulted in my cheeks being exposed, and no need for an anal-reconstruction. Cut my surf short tho, and also means I will be throwing away an O'Neill Psycho 1 summer suit with no ass-panel! Made for a fun walk up the cliff path to the car....

Going back about 12 years ago, my mate Frank did the same thing but came off worse...

Had to eat soup for about 2 weeks after and had stitches each side of his Batcave! Nasty...

He lives in W.A. now, so I'm sure he won't mind me posting that!

[cheeese]

well...
my left shoulder hurts when i paddle

my back is weird and always hurts a bit if i don't stretch

my ass is hurting after i bailed into super shallow shorey barrels the other week and fell on it

face planted today and it stung like fuggles

[Squelchy]

fuggles is now my new favourite word

[cheeese]

[PapaWoolacombe]

Its all self inflicted so I don't deserve any sympathy... (like you bastards would give anyway )

Im sure squelchy will in the form of a million smily faces

[surfjunkie]

can't believe what a bunch of sick fookers you all are, am I the only one well and healthy with no bits that hurt, ache or are injured?

[jon-rn]

i alwys come back from a surf with a new cut on my foot or ankle

and my farts are stinking lately, i put that down to drinking to much sea water i guess

you rang?!


i'll put lots of icecream smilies up, so people can take one and put it on their injuries like an ice pack

[surfjunkie]

you're a propper girl squelchy (not in a bad way though, in a good, I'm nurse squelcy & I'll look after you all kind of way) I bet you let people have a wave or two in the water and come prepared to the beach with a mug of tea and chocolcate bars

[ATTMFKH]

Jump on board nut squishes and pops to the right - agony. Now size of grapefruit......is this OK

[Vince Noir]

What do you mean 'one of your bollocks' ? Maybe that's why I paddle in circles
