Im glad its just a tail bone, and hopefully the otherisnt to serious;)

He'll get better and forget all about it, but those broken arse bones hurt like a mofo...:p

Thats to bad, to think of all the times i have fallen from trees crashed wiped out and fell i have never broke a bone, funny because i never drank milk, hate it.

[quadracer707]

God Love Ya Pappy, hope a speady recovery, I wonder if the doctors will start to tell us to stay out of trees to dangerous:devil:

[yellow400ex05]

damn that sucks, hope he heals up quickly. Are you still going to be able to make it to Breezewood Pappy?

[Mxjunkie]

he was trying to hang his little brothers piniata for his b-day party. we did not even know he was doing it, all the wife heard was a thud:ermm: she came and got me cuz he was just laying there (knocked the wind out of him) but after i talked with him and he got up i figured he was ok and he has been in enough wrecks to tell me if he needs medical help etc.

he just got home, tail bone is broke just below the last vertebra and we are awaiting a call from the specialist after he gets a chance to review the xrays...hopefully its just rest and time and no surgery etc. bad part is he starts high school monday, not going to be in the best shape for that and he will not be on a quad or bike for minimum of 6-8 weeks

I expected more than 6-8 weeks away from quads.

[wvspeedfreak]

Man,sorry to hear that.I could tell he was uncomfortable last evening but man a broken tailbone.The kid is tough .Tell him we are all wishing him a quick recovery.

[cletusEX]

Sorry to hear about Cody. I wish him a speedy recover. Falling out of a tree is no joke. I've heard that anything over 10' is a 50-50 shot. And as the height goes up the percentage gets higher on severe injury. So tell the boys to stay on the ground!

[Honda TRX250ex]

get well soon monkey! :blah:

[JOEX]

Dang, that's a scary thread title:eek2:

Hope the healing goes quick:)

[suzukigirl]

that sucks...hope he gets better soon and doesn't need to have surgery

[MX MaNiAc 06]

Hope everything works out for ya cody. If u guys are still going to breezewood cody can sit on the bleachers and be crippled with me. haha

[Pappy]

we just got done talking with a specialist and he had good and not so good news. there isnt anything else in his lower back that he feels needed attention, but he saw a shift in 2 vertebrea just below his shoulderblade that he wants more xrays of. he did not go into detail about how severe or what could be wrong in that region but said it was of concern so we will be visiting the doc again next week.

cj is doing fine, he is just taking it easy, a bit pissed he cant race or ride but he will get over it.

[wilkin250r]

A "shift" sounds like a fairly minor problem, the sort of problem a few visits to a chiropractor could solve.

Broken tailbones aren't fun, but they generally don't create long-term issues. I broke my tailbone a couple years ago (at least I was riding at the time ;) )

[infantry317]

Sorry to hear that, hope everythings goes ok for him.

When is a broken tail bone a broken back? Or is that what a broken back is?

according to our doctor, and at the time i made this thread, he has a broken back (thank god its only in the tail bone section, which is a far cry from having his spine damaged)


wilkin, many people i know have broken this area, seems like a common break from what i understand. i told cody what you said about you doing it on a quad, he said maybe you should learn to ride better and he should learn to climb more like a chimp:p

[coolguy8769]

when i was at my "specialist" for my broken back there was a little kid next to me who had a broken tail bone in the waiting room, his mom said he just needed rest and to always sit on a "donut" while it heals, the tailboen is part of the Spine but the spinal cord does not go threw it.

my back doctor talk very "sketchy" he danced around the paralized topic i guess not to scare me, i had to tell him to tell me straight up, if it were up to me when that doctor calls back i would demand to know what he ment about his upperback as it is a very hard place to x-ray. In my case i had to take 10 x-rays to get one good one to show where my breaks where

wow thats a bummer. i broke my collarbone at the snowshoe gncc. i had surgery on it last wed. they put a plate and seven screws in me. needless to say the most riding i ha ve done all summer is a couple slow laps around the yard:ermm: tell him to get better fast.

i knew you had broken the collar bone, but im very sad to hear about needing surgery:( hope you feel better soon josh

[161xchonda]

ya it has not been hurting im just real mad because i havent rode forever

[WhiteYFZ]

ah. pappy tell him i said i hope he gets better soon.

[mitch91]

Is he in alot of pain? Lucky summers almost over, that coulda been a ******* if his brother was born a couple months earlier!

[kawiefan]

man that sucks. my dad broke his tail bone. i was about 4 and me and dad were sledding and he hit the a stump that was sticking out about 4in. man was he in some pain for a while

[gncc025]

i fractured my tail bone about 6 years ago on a little 90. i remember having to stand up in the middle of class every 10 minutes cause it hurt so much. hope he gets better soon.

[cletusEX]

Hopefully everything will turn out alright. Tell him to definitely take it easy, he has plenty of time ahead of him for racing and riding. Plus it's getting close to hunting season so tell him to focus on that and school, that way when it is time to get ready for next year he is ready to go!:) Maybe I'll grab him for a sika hunt since his old man never makes it.:D

[QuadJunkies]

Im sorry to hear the news :(
My Mom broke her tailbone and I know it was a slow process on healing,not to mention painful.
Speedy recovery .

[Hyperwarrior22]

Damn Cody you high flying sob

get well son

the warrior

back when i was little manning the register for my dad at the station i fell off the milk crate i stood on and landed right on my tail bone .. the floor was that redishh tile stuff lol it hurt ... ive wacked my tailbone a few times its been hurt a few times from donkey humps lol but ive never broke it i dont think

[Pappy]

lol..i cant post what his reply was wilkin..LMAO:p


he rested more today but went to the store with me. he has some pain but said its nothing he cant deal with. he starts high school tomorrow, and he said he knew he would have to bust his arse but not like this:ermm: :devil:

[TheFontMaster]

Have a good recovery from this one. Tail bones suck, I brused, or fractured mine a couple years ago snowboarding, I don't know what it was, I never went to see a doctor. But I pretty much had to say bye to snowboarding for almost 2 weeks, and just sitting, or standing was not too fun.
