Dislocated Shoulder - Ouch!
Whilst skating tonight at Arnold I got competitive with some youngsters and ended up having a gnarly crash. I fell backwards onto my front arm - I was coming back in from a feeble that was overcooked and my right arm was straight out behind me (I skate goofy) and it broke my fall but I was a bit shocked to find my arm was sort of hanging off an feeling really wrong! I grabbed it and it just crunched and clunked back into place with stomach-turning agony. I was able to get up pretty quickly but soon got the shakes and then I had to drive the car which was interesting! I got some ibuprofen from the local co-op and had to do a bit more driving (picking one of the kids up from karate) before getting home to the arnica. Now it just hurts. I've never dislocated a shoulder before. Cycling to work will be interesting in the morning :)
