It seems that "spill" I took on my bike on the Boy Scout trip is worse than I first thought.

I've been getting Off and On pains in my arm that get REAL uncomfortable at times. If the pains still persist into the near future, I might be taking a trip to the doctor.

Ok General, you laughed but.......I TOLD YOU I WAS WORRIED ABOUT YOU.....and you made fun of me......!!! Do yourself a favor and go to the doctor. Waiting can make things worse.

This ends the broadcast of the Emergency Mothering System...........

I took a tree to the shoulder last time I went hardcore riding. Not too bad though. The tree was about 5 inches in diameter, and it gave a little when I hit it, and was only going about 10 miles an hour. Nice bruise on the arm for a week though. I'd go to the doctor also and have it checked out. probably just a pulled or torn muscle you don't use on a regular basis. But be safe anyway, don't wanna ruin riding for the rest of your life do ya? Especially after dropping so much money on the bike!

Sorry to hear about the pain in your arm. Is the pain a radiating pain that runs down your arm to the fingers? Are your hands/fingers feeling numb or tingley?

I'm sure you are just bruised. Time is your friend.

Time to amputate!

Seriously though;

Could be damaged or pinched nerves, torn ligiment(s)/muscle(s), hair-line break in bone to name a couple of possibilities.

Do need to get it checked. Could very well get worse. Then where would you be?

Well,

I didn't get any noticeable pains today (BTW I worked my job today). So I think it's gone. If it comes back tomorow or so I WILL go to the Doctor ASAP.
