I think so i mean im not incapacitated, i can lift small stuff with the arm. It's a shooting pain but it does hurt really bad sometimes like coughing or breathing or just moving positions.....if it was major i think id be in bed or something.

the reason im slightly worried is because after almost a week it seems to have only gotten worse, and when it happened it was bad enough for a minute I thought i may not be able to get up, i cut my face open from the impact and vomited a little bit (not after from pain but literally hit so hard i threw up a lil on impact) I have gi problems tho with lots of stomach acid thats always on the rise so that doesn't mean much.....just bending over can screw me sometimes so

seems like surgery is a temp fix that messes you up even worse later.

shoulder dislocation huh?


ill take the cake on this one

3 surgeries over 3 years (19,20,21) (im 22 now) 19 dislocations, everything from snowboarding to sneezing to sleeping to fighting to rock climbing. ****ing name it.


p.s. i have a 2 year recovery time in the least after this last 3rd surgery, im 16 months into it.

it wont' turn black and blue. its tendon, not muscle

oh yea

ill be doing this in 9 days

looks insane! where do i sign up?

Max you need to fill me in on that....wooo hooo. That looks sick as hell.


Oh...and on the shoulder stuff.... you're a savage. I went the other route and refused the surgeries. Dislocated it for the first time in high school. Had quite a few true stingers playing football. Dislocations. Few when I raced MTB. A BUNCH snowboarding. Got hit by a car and had a partial seperation. Tore my trap and the shoulder cap muscle. Also some micro tears in my lat and a couple back and chest muscles. Popped the ribs off my sternum. Was gnarly. All self recovery. Stupid is as stupid does. You went the right way getting the surgery.

And you're dead on.

If it's still hurting like this after a week you NEED to go get it checked. At the least they'll get you some pain meds and that's never a bad thing. Sounds to me like you might have torn something. Rotator cuff or some muscles. And it won't bruise. Remember this... injuries related to tendons and muscles are WORSE than breaks if you ask me.

anyone get stuck going up on the 80 yesterday morning? we saw FOUR suvs roll over before sugarbowl before they closed the highway right behind us till the afternoon. On the upside, we had the whole placfe to ourselves for half he day !

Yikes, sux for the folks you saw on I-80. When we were heading back to the Bay fr: Sierra on US50 yesterday, we saw a wrb wagon that rear-ended an Explorer(maybe). There was a woman that seemed to be shaken up pretty good, too. Another small truck may also have been involved. I hope all parties involved did not suffer any major injuries. My passenger managed to fire off a pic fr his cell phone. I'm waiting for him to send it to me. My guess is that some rubber-necking was the culprit b/c there was a big rig into the guardrail/embankment in the eastbound direction.

Be careful out there, folks!

i'm heading up on Tuesday but am torn between going to Northstar or Bear Valley... What do you guys think?

it was awesome. when i walked out of our cabin this morning there was about a foot or more new snow.

was a hella fun weekend, good amount of powder and it was still snowing when we rolled out this morning.

80 wasnt too bad once we got past the chain checkpoint, luckily no accidents, although my buddy's snowboard flew off the roof on 80 last night

I'm on top!

sat was powder all day at northstar, took us 2 hours to get past auburn, some crazy drivers out there going past 40mph in those near white out conditions. anyways the conditions were awesome. see you there in two weeks

do we know the two missing people in lake tahoe that are from san francisco?

i was at boreal saturday..it was snowin pretty hard, the fresh powder was great but visibility was a biaatch..went boomtown after.then tried to get back home that night but they ended up closin highway 80 =(...oh well won a lil bit at the el dorado since we had to stay the night.

whoa! didnt hear about that
