Is this pain normal then ?

[JodieWodie]

As I am a novice at falling off my bike (the object was to stay on and ride it!)...just a question...

does it ALWAYS hurt like this ?...even if just a minor spill ?

I was going at reasonable speed...but not burning it...but today I can hardly move !!

I guess jarring the body like that will obviously have some painful consequences..

Small tasks are nigh on impossible...GOD alone knows how I coped at work today...

I have a vodka
It is not vodka o'clock yet but I need something...

A massage with Deep Heat would be nice...but my Fiance will be 'too tired' again I guess

You'd be amazed how many obscure muscles you hurt falling off. Thankfully it usually only takes a few days to recover, but unfortunately it seems to be part 'n' parcel of biking.

And it sounds like you need a better fiance

Yes it does hurt every time. You may not even feel that bad on the same day but the next you'll be as stiff as a brush.

It is however unfortunate as to how I know this.

[innominate]

Lots of long hot baths helps quite a bit.

Otherwise its sit and wait it out :/

[Robby]

Yup. Every time. Bigger crashes it hurts like that for several days.

The bit I hate is when I get a dry mouth after the adrenalin has worn off, normally about 1 or 2 hours after the crash. Then the big pain kicking in an hour or two after that is never nice.

The biger your bike is the biger chance of a very painfull bining... i only ever dropped my cg at about 10 mph, and was debateing weather to wear my textile trousers or or not very morning, lucky for my legs i did!

The main thing is to get back on as soon as possible, the longer you leave it the more scarey a prospect of hoping back on will be

You always do muscles in when you fall off, no idea where, smallest of drops and you'll hurt yourself for some reason... I had a bit of an er indident on the WR last sunday and was aching till Wednesday and all I did was sort of get highsided off it then run into a ditch so even the smallest accident will hurt

You wanna try highsiding at 70mph, sliding for a bit then ragdolling the last 50 yds. You think you have walked away totally uninjured but the next morning...

Oohyafucker etc.

Always hurts, you just get less suprised each time it happens. In a great of pain right now as it happens

[Rory]

[goony]

get checked out at hospital or doc`s very easy to ignore pain but if you`ve damaged something you can make thing`s worse and suffer later in life like i now do

[nc30 chick]

I always find it hurts more the next day, not sure if its because the adrenalines pumping when it first happens.
Bruises and sore muscles are the norm I've found out

[mchaggis]

You mentioned previously that you thought you'd fractured your finger? I should have thought that would be painful enough if it was. If it hasn't swollen up and is still moveable it's probably not broken?

It always hurts to fall off, even if it's just a bin at 15 mph. I should hope you'll be back to normal in a week or so.

I've had accidents, mainly at slow speeds (10mph - 20mph)
and no matter what happens, it hurts!!

OR

You maybe okay now but in a couple of hours, AHAHHHAHHAHA!

The last accident, which was about 3 years ago, doing about 10
mph when a white van did a U turn knocking me clean off. Buggered up my shoulder for about 2 weeks and after that I had
problems lifting my arm higher than my head, the pain was bad.

bottom line is accidents at slow speeds can hurt like hell, nice
hot baths are the answer.

[NickD]

It's about luck Jodie.
A couple of years ago I t- boned a car at around 50 mph, got up, had a bit of a shout, broke nothing, and felt nowt. Woke up the following day a little stiff, but with no major problems........Last week however, I stubbed my toe on my bed post, and could have cried like a little girl.

All about luck!

[lurker]

if youve got quality gear on it doesnt necessarily involve pain.
if you tense up and hang on for dear life its more often than not gonna hurt but if you have the presence of mind to let the bike go and your bodys relaxed when you hit the ground youve got less chance of injury.
easier said than done though
couple of offs ive had have been low sides.
once on a bend and the other on a roundabout.
both times there wasnt much warning and didnt get time to react think thats why i was pretty much relaxed when i hit the ground and the bike went its own way.
only thing that hurt was my wallet

[iCraig]

I crashed in August 2002, and damaged my hip pretty badly then.

The bloody thing still hurts now!

So yes the pain is really this bad.

[Frost]

Shatterd my left wrist hitting the ground as god knows what speed :S
Hurts like hell when it gets cold

Often when you crash you slightly pull/tear ligaments, muscules, tendons, or put hairline cracks into bones. These ache for a few days, but after a few weeks your back to normal.

[california_rookie]

Yeah, we seem to forget how much cartilage dislikes being compacted in a fall. This usually causes a bit of swelling in between the vertebrae which can be very unpleasant. If it wasn't much of a tumble, I'm sure you'll be fine in another day or two. Just don't overdo it with the vodka. If there is such a thing.
