[Canadian144]

Maybe get into R/C cars? I dunno haha.

Pick up ATV vs MX reflex.

sorry to hear that.

every time ive met someone with a broken back they usually have no problems keeping occupied. usually the pain killers will do the trick. maybe ask for "the good stuff" and buy a lava lamp. :p

I've had a broke back and had the good pain killers. BE CAREFUL with that stuff. You will get hooked, and nobody tells you about the side effects. Eat plenty of raisin bran. Don't ask why, just do it. :eek2:

[Trxracr]

haha raisin bran! the docs told me that too, you no why!! yea the docs wanna try to get me off "the good stuff" but rite now tylenol dont cut it you guys should see the x-rays theyre pretty nasty i have two 10inch rods and 12 screws in my back im VERY lucky to be walking!! i just cant wait to ride again im kinda bummed though im pretty sure i wont be able to mx race anymore but owell

[buck440]

[KFX450Rrider490]

wow its good to hear that you ok after something like that but if i was in you place id dump one of the quads and build up a hpi baja 5t youll have fun with that!!

[ZeroLogic]

Can you walk around? Or use your upper body? Buy a low pound compound or recurve bow maybe? :confused: Models are an good one. Maybe online schooling? Read?

Ohhh! I didn't break mine that bad. Man I'm sorry to hear you can't race no more. I had compression fractures. All my muscles wore torn. That was the worst part for me. It hurts right now and it happened 6 years ago.

Oh wow! It's very rare for someone to put a rod in your back for a spinal fracture. That's more common with Scoliosis. It's common to go in and surgically fix the processes of the spine, but ive never heard of them putting rods in.

Do they have you wearing a shell-like brace for posture?

[J.Brown121]

When my dad messed his back up he watched a lot of westerns and read a lot of books. This was about a year ago and he's still doesn't sleep through the night b/c he woke up in the middle of the night to take his meds for so long. His back doesn't hurt anymore but he can't play golf anymore, which was his one thing that he loved to do:(

dont rush riding took forever for my back not to hurt riding

[tbrackman84]

You need an x-box live account, LOL

[Trxracr]

the rods go kinda like on the back of my spine and the screws go through the rods into the vertebrea for support. i wish i had a scanner i'd post up the x-rays. no theres no shell thing which kinda surprised me cuz i thought there'd be some kind of brace but theres not

thos e braces are mor e for a cracked vertabre not a crashed or shattered, i got 2 8 or 10 inch steel rods , makes it a pain to lay down or stand up straight and it hurts when its cold, i broke mine @ my l1 vertabre

Those braces are to remind you of good posture for your back. I guess those rods would do that for you? You wouldn't be able to slip anything out with them i guess.

well the physical therapist cleared me to ditch the walker and walk on my own today so im one step closer to riding!!
