I was a gymnast and broke a few bones. I broke my ankle/foot vaulting and was still tumbling in my cast. I stopped real quick when after a month the bones were not fusing back together and they scared me with another surgery! 😂 Gymnasts are really a total different breed for sure!

"We are you"
That dude probably heard that the brain contains fat so he tries to lose it

[Ja-EdenCheese]

Is it possible to fix a bent bone that's already healed it's slightly deformed but my wrist still hurts idk how i broke my forearm tho 🙃

Edit: so uhh good news idk how but the callus is slowly disappearing and the bent bone is fixing itself

[Kyle-mb]

Your dedication and hard work are paying off.

[LORE_mork]

I never broke a bone when in gymnastics, I have some sort of joint disorder that made me super flexible but also prone to passing out. So 😭 I never got to try this, it looks so much fun!

That “we’re” is literally driving me insane😩

I had hip surgery. And they said i would either get 5% body weight or 5 lbs. Whichever was smaller. It came out to about the same and i had to pracice with a scale before my surgery. It was so frustrating because it was less weight than just letting my leg rest on the floor. So i had to hold it up but not all the way. It was important to have some pressure on it.

The best weight bearing status is "weight bearing as tolerated"
I bent a titanium rod because they did not account for my tolerance.
I was on only Tylenol and ibuprofen after a femur shortening surgery. Teaching myself how to walk with crutches and my muscles flopping around when they hadn't tightened up yet.
One step felt a little different and I said "huh? Think that rod bent." I brought this up to my mother and the PA and the surgeon. They all said that It couldn't happen and if it did I couldn't feel it.
Right up until I received the rod in the mail with a noticeable though not massive bend.
Shit was hilarious

When I was NWB, it actually messed up my other leg and hip because I was putting so much weight on my good side even with the crutches I hated those things

[Rydizzle]

Broke my femur walked on it the next day went back to the doctors the next month fully healed no issues

[riverswan]

I’m currently on no weight baring after foot surg

[TheRedheadedjen]

My Mom open compound fractured her leg in 4 places and it took her a year to get to 50% weight bearing.

[anastassiyazolotaryova]

Can you do one on breaking a shoulder pls?

[taquito]

"If you break a bone, it really, really hurts!"

[TheSimHome]

Bro, for my literally, the next video is a video of this guy

[deborahasher]

I bought a knee scooter. I couldn't get the hang of crutches. The scooter saved my sanity.

[dailyamusing]

Have you heard of the one where if you break a leg and its in a cast then if you rebreak it during healing it heals stronger and better?, , ,

[mollyjackson]

I'm gonna back homie up for a sec lol- When you're on crutches for a long time, you get VERY VERY good at it lol. I had skin graphs put on my whole foot after it got run over, and after the 3rd month, I could of started my own show of tricks on crutches lol.

[adayawhitelock]

I’m always doing things like that and all sorts of tricks on my crushes
