    Parents L5 fracture

    My daughter has an l5 fracture is currently in brace. Our orthopedics gave us no guidance, except brace her and come back when pain is gone. I am at a loss as to what to do or not to do. She hasn't done any gymnastics for 3 weeks and pain is only when doing back walkovers and such.

    WAG Tooth fracture from tumbling?

    One of my gymnasts had to get a baby tooth canal for a fractured tooth that got infected. Apparently the dentist did not know she was a gymnast but asked the parent out of the blue when he saw the tooth. He says it happens from gymnasts who clench their jaws while tumbling and the back teeth...

    Parents Elbow Fracture - Was it Preventable?

    Parents Elbow Fracture - What to Expect

    Yesterday I was asking opinions about my DD’s shoot through. (Thanks everyone for all the feedback). Right now it’s the last thing on my mind. Today my DD (7 years old) fractured her humerus above the elbow (supracondylar) at the gym (she’s still at the ER with my DW.) The doctor aligned the...

    WAG Recovery time for medial epicondyle (elbow) fracture

    Just wondering if anyone has previous experience with recovering from this type of fracture for their gymnast and getting back to full use of the arm. DD was training level 8, so I guess "full use" would include training typical level 8 skills. And whether or not surgery was done.

    There is a group of girls at our gym who will be seeing a significant hours jump when the go back to "school schedule".

    Parents Stress fracture in vertebrae - any experience with this?

    My L8 dd was having some back pain when arching and tumblimg. It has gotten progressively worse over the last two weeks, but it doesnt't bother her when she's not in the gym unless she arches back for some reason. We saw the orthopedist today. They took xrays and they did not show any issues...

    WAG Avulsion fracture in an eight year old :( Does anyone have experience with this?

    Poor little Puma Jr fell awkwardly from a beam HS last night. It happened right at the end of practice, so when I got there she was icing and elevating. She would not put any weight on it and wanted me to take to her to urgent care, but to be honest I thought she was being a little dramatic! I...

    Parents What have you experienced with rehab after fracture?

    Hey. Im just looking to hear a few stories on experience with rehab. I posted a few times last year when my DD was experiencing a mental block on back tumbling. She never got over it even at state but had a great year otherwise. This summer got over it and was doing fabulous. She went to a...

    Compression fracture

    I'm an adult gymnast, recently diagnosed with a compression fracture in my vertabrae. I am out of gymnastics for 2-3 months. The doctor didn't feel it was serious enough to wear a brace, just restrict activity. I was just wondering if anyone has had this and how you did afterwards.

    WAG Stress Fractures

    How many of you or your kids had stress fractures? If so, where? I may have one in my shin, as opposed to the shin splints I thought it might be. My coaches said were waiting a week and then going to get an x-ray. If you have/had a stress fracture, where and how long did it take to heal? Did...
