A few years ago, I was in a mosh pit at a Deathklok Live show in Orlando FL. A guy ran up an punched me in the groin and I elbowed him in the head as hard as I could. He elbow stopped working for the rest of the night, so I had as much fun as I could. The next few weeks, that elbow was acting strange. It would pop and it would get stuck at odd angles so I went to the doctor, only to find out Id shattered the radial head. They removed 7 pieces from it. I also found out Id destabilized my shoulder on that side and had to have it reconstructed. After that I started having more pain in the same elbow after picking something up only to find out the radial head had reshattered, and 8 more pieces came out.

Today, I had a radial head excision, removing the lower portion of my humerous bone and the radial head from the joint entirely. They have me on 325 mg Oxycodone and my elbow hurts terribly.

Anyone ever had this surgery and I hope none of you ever HAVE to; but anyone know the recovery time from it?

Marines taught me that if you're going to strike the head you need to aim for the bridge of the nose or the orbital or you'll just break your hand or elbow.

Guess they were right Big smile

Shattered the radial head though? You'd think you'd notice that immediately, anyway \m/^_^\m/

Hell youd think Id have noticed immediately that odd pop when my bicep went higher than my shoulder followed by the arm no longer responding correctly and a fair amount of pain was the shoulder dislocating O.o I went like that for a week till I went to the doctor to figure out what the hell it was. Honestly the only reason I did was I was at work and reached up for something above my head and a guest (thats what they call customers ay Disney) saw my shoulder do that and he freaked out and told my manager. He came to me and asked me if I was ok, I put his hand on my shoulder, and raised that arm through the issue and asked if that was normal and when I looked back as his face he was green lol

Its funny too, I was a friggin wimp growing up but apparently I have a higher than normal pain threshold as the doctor told me when he looked at the xrays.

Funnily enough I never saw what happened to him. The venue is all kinds of anti crowd sufing/moshing and was ejecting ppl when they did it (it didnt help when one of the bands before Dethklok got on stage and was like "**** these guys and their no moshing bullshit!!"

Mosh pits where people are throwing elbows and punches are the reason we have establishments that ban moshing in the first place.

That being said if someone throws a strike at you don't take **** from them. Knees work better than elbows though, in case you feel like hitting another hard surface with a joint.

Indeed that is ye olde eye-hole. Good target because it's got soft things in front of it and it's got a nice little rounded edge which hurts like hell when struck

That sounds like all kinds of nasty.

Friend of mine recently broke his shoulder on a zombie run - He didn't find out for a few days how bad it WAS but needs surgery on it now. He thought it was just sprained at first lol

I still get twinges from my chest from the time I crashed my bike (mountainbike), off a two foot high dropoff with insufficient momentum. Sandblasted my face and THOUGHT I had winded myself really bad - two weeks later and still in cold-sweating-agony I went to the doctor who told me I had broken a rib and cracked some others. I had been working 8 hour shifts in a game store in that time, humphing consoles and boxes full of games up and down three flights of stairs...

Just shows though, if you don't actually know how bad an injury IS, chances are you will probably deal with the pain better.

Moral: Never let the doctor tell you just how serious the injury was, that just makes it more painful.

Why do idiots have to ruin mosh pits?

I was at a show when I was about 14 and some 20-something dude thought it would be great to punch me in the head because...I dunno. The guys around us didn't care for it and he was dragged off the floor by two security guards. Moshing isn't about hurting dudes and it was awesome to see that most of the guys around us took that seriously.

I saw a MONSTER of a guy that made me feel small (Im 6'3, about 300lbs - yeh Im a fat guy :p) I was easily only to his shoulder. this little dude kept running up on him and puncing him then running away. The first couple times the really big guy looked at him in annoyance, the last time, the big guy grabbed the little guy by the face and threw ahim to the left, and took out the better part of that row. He PALMED HIS FACE and threw him with his head.

Thats how I remember it anyways, it was after the weed got broke out so I could be wrong

I'd be taking calcium supplements to help with the bone healing, mate. Or going after a lot of milk, ice cream, yogurt, sour cream, cheese. Also zinc and other minerals for nerve and tissue regeneration. It's kind of hard to get all those rebuilding things in your regular diet, if you're like most of us. Best of luck, try to keep the affected areas flexible, and heal up.
