One of the boys I coach has just returned after breaking his arm.
He broke both the Radius and the ulna bones. The break was closer to the wrist than the elbow. About a third of distance between the two. It was a clean break, and did not need to be reset.
Dr gave a clearance certificate...
As some of you may recall, my dd broke two bones in her hand in March doing a flick on the beam. Today she got her cast off. Hurray! She goes back to the gym on Monday. She has been doing conditioning since her injury, along with some floor and beam. She will have to ease into it. She is...
I haven't had much to say lately, I do respond to some posts here and there.
On Monday we went back to the Dr's for a follow up appt. For those that don't remember, dd broke her foot back on Jan. 19th - turns out she has a Jones' Fracture of the 5th metatarsal. Basically she broke the bone...
Just got back from urgent care. My 9 year old level 6 daughter fell off the beam yesterday and it looked like she just got a blood blister. Unfortunately, it still hurt today and the xray showed a broken big toe. The doctor didn't seem concerned and told us to see the ortho tomorrow. How...
Dear All:
My 11 year old is a level 6 gymnast. She took 2nd last year at state last spring in her age group in level 5. Since then, she has had her appendix removed in July and then just recently broke her arm about a month ago. Its been a long haul but she loves the sport. She was in a...
Just got the call that Beth hurt her foot at gymnastics--doing something on beam. Her coach thinks it needs to be x-rayed, so she has an appointment at 6. If you could send "no broken bones" fairies this way, it would be much appreciated. I'll update later--thanks!

Hi so i need help to determine if i broke or sprained my pinky toe. We were doing this shootthrough drill on this floor bar, and when i tried to shoot through my left foot(aka the bad foot) i hit my pinky toe Really hard on the bar. I almost screamed and now my pinky toe hurts to bend it...
It sounds weird, but I'm so proud!!! I've never had a broken bone before! I'm also sort of mad because I'm not allowed to run or jump for three weeks. However, it's good timing cause I'm going on vacation next week anyway.
I fractured my fifth metatarsal, which is the bone that runs along the...
Well, i broke my foot on March 7th. i was in a cast for 7 weeks, and then in a boot up until last sunday. I went back to the doctor and he told me that i was released to do everything... in moderation. Well, i'm thinking, "Whats your idea of in moderation?" I've never broken anything before, and...
So as some of you know, i broke my foot 6 weeks ago from yesterday. I went to the doctor and he was worried about displacement, so i had a MRI but didn't need surgery. Thank goodness! So he put me in a cast. I went for my two and four week checkups, and i get my cast off on Tuesday!! When i...
Hey everyone! Haven finished her season this past weekend. She won states with a 37.875 and was very happy. Our gym lost our title however and finished second. Our girls had a serious case of beam falls. It was just plain weird. They were going down one after another.
Yesterday, Haven...
I broke my foot about a week ago, and i have to go to gym and condition every practice. I have a cast on my right leg (the one that i use for everything), and i can't put any weight on it. The only things that my coach and i have come up with for conditioning is
Pushups (all variations)
sit...
So yesterday at my meet, i did a layout stepout on beam and only got part of my foot on and it hurt really bad. I fininshed my beam routine, but didn't compete floor. So it was really swollen this morning and i went to urgent care. They took x-rays and its broken. The worst part is that...
Gah!
Sorry for not being on here in a bit. I've been busy with home-schooling and all that jazz.
So, I'm done with gymnastics again. I was going to stop in March.
I broke my foot flipping a beam dismount. Just a simple cartwheel, back-tuck! Why couldn't it have been a triple-duple-front-pike...

Hello. I am looking for some input regarding the following: our 7 y.o daughter, who competes at Level 5, recently broke her left index finger in two places (on each side of the growth plate). She broke it on April 14th. She saw an orthopedic specialist who put her in a cast (up to her elbow)...
Well gymbabi ended her season with a bang last week. She was working on layout halfs and landed full weight on her curled under toes. Snapped the long bone on the outside edge of her foot completely in two, plus imploded the next two. Luckily once they knocked her out to reduce it, it popped...
