So I recovered from a busted knee and was riding hard on my first set, confident that my knee will hold with the Donjoy brace on when I kick off wrong on a TS jump. Inverted, throws handle, curl up to meet crash, smash. Though I broke a rib or something such was the pain.
Turns out I ruptured my abs on the left hand side. I could hardly move for two days but is able to get out of bed without assistance. Only now do I know how much work the abs go through in a normal day. Am out for 6 weeks at least.....oh well it could have been worse.
Yeah, pulled abs take a really long time to heal. I've pulled mine, and like the idiot that I am, I rode anyway. It hurt each and every time. I eventually sat out for while to let it heal.
Have you seen a doc? I'm not sure if there's anything he can recommend to help the healing process, but he may refer you to a physical therapist.
I know that feeling. I'll bet it took you a while to get back in the boat. I did that two summers ago, at the very beginning of the summer before I was in boardin shape.
Now, when I start to my abs getting tired... I stop for the day.
yep. Did mine in last season trying halfcab rolls and didn't lay off. Got it bad enough I had a visible bruise on my side and had to "roll" up and out of bed each morning. Had to take it easy for couple months to get back up to speed.
Felt it coming on again this season but was smart enough this time around to back off. I feel your pain.
I did the same thing almost three weeks ago. I couldn't breathe, and was sure I broke my back or something as I went numb from my waist down. Talk about having a panic attack!! They feel better, but I may stay out for another few weeks. Strengthen them and the lower back a little more before heading back out.
Same happened to me first trip last summer. I was out for about six weeks and was unable to board on my annual Lake Powell trip. That is when I found the wakesurfer. Good luck with your recovery.
Guess I'm not alone then? Not a good time to have a cold. I nearly blacked out from pain, and I mean pain, from the sneeze. Couldn't get into the front seat of the car, crawled onto the back seat instead. I'll sit out for 4 weeks and hit the water again.
Joe describes the process....rolling up really to get out of anything, I did it last year on a backroll. Was out for a few weeks. If you are out for 6 you must have hit it pretty good.
