R Shoulder, Impact wound / trauma
2010-01-24 – 2010-01-26
Grade: 3
XC Ski accident. Went off trail after a hill and hit a tree with a branch sticking out. Continued the race despite pain while poling. Couldn't take advil immediately as water was frozen.
Was unable to move my arm much about 20 mins after the finish but it eventually losened up and only hurts now when I raise my arm above my head or if I push down on something with my arm extended.
Small bruising at site of impact at the bottom of my scapula. Some swelling.
Glad I took a rest day rather than racing the ski-o the next day. Poling would have definintely aggrivated the bruise. As it was RICE did the trick and now it's just a bruise.
