So pretty much that last two weeks I have been going really hard and progressing like mad. And i have had a shit ton of falls. The main crash today was when i cased the kicker while doing a mute grab 3. It turned into a 5 lol. But yah i think somehow during that crash i broke or sprained my thumb. Or mabye it was when i shot out of the shotgun rail when i did a switchup right near the end of the rail and went down HARD onto the ice landing/rollaway. In one of the crashed i must have broken my thumbs joints.

Two weeks in a row now?!?!?! Somebody plz tell me whats going on and how to prevent this.
 
must have? dude go to the hospital and get x-rays so your thumb doesn't stay gimped for life, you might have a break or a bone chip, a bad sprain if your ligament is badly enough stretched requires surgery sometimes too,

peace
 
I've had so many problems with my thumbs over the past few years. If you actually think you may have broken something, go to a doctor. Usually it's just torn ligaments. I went to an orthopedist and got a referral for a custom thumb brace that's made out of heat-molded plastic. It works pretty well, but does not completely prevent injuries. I'm pretty sure there was a thread about his a while ago, where some guy posted a pic of the type of brace I'm talking about.
 
i re-injured my skiers thumb recently :( so i know how you feel it sucks..

i suggest ibuprofen, marijuana (cept i cant even use a lighter with one of my hands..), icing, and immobilizing it so it can heal (wrap it w a ace bandage / thumb brace / cast), icy-hot / biofreeze can be nice.

the first time i fucked my thumb up i was in a cast - but it wasn't broken just torn lig/tendons, but it hurt like fuck and I thought it was broken. If it is way swollen then it could be broken - if you're unsure get x-rays.
 
Uhmm, fuck X-rays, Im too ballin for that shit. lol. Just fuckin, but I dont think it is serious enough to go to the doctor and raise my health innsurance. I will do what everybody suggests and ice it and put it in a ace wrap. But if it happens next week again i will def. go to the doctor and ask what i should do. My dad said he used to always get it and its probobly just a sprain.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys.
 
Oh dude, trust me i do. I have been sense i started using poles as just a lil youngin.

But yah, my dad told me the exact same thing.
