We just got back from the x- Ray and meeting with an orthopaedic surgeon, turns out dd broke two bones in her elbow ,her humorous, and her ulna. We have surgery scheduled for friday, they are going to insert two pins in her elbow to keep the bone in place and then cast it while she's under...
Ydd was working on her jump to the high bar at practice the other night. She was getting very frustrated with herself that she kept jumping and missing because all the other girls were making the jump and doing the high bar kip. It was her last turn before they had to rotate to beam, I really...
I'm looking at Geddart's conditioning plans and this one has me stumped. I'm thinking push-up position but on elbows, then kicking feet out behind you? Is that right?
My daughter went for her follow up MRI for the small OCD lesion on the trochlea side of her elbow and unfortunately the results were not what we (or the dr) expected. The OCD lesion/defect did not improve at all and in fact may have gotten slightly larger.
Sh's been on "rest" off and on...
DD (age 8) woke up a week ago with pain in her elbow. Some diminished range of motion (more in the flexion but some slight decrease in extension). No injury that she could come up with. X ray was done and there was a "difference" between the right and left arm- right showed what was...
First of all, how common is OCD of the elbow, and is there a way to rule it out?
Tendinitis of the elbow is very stubborn, having trouble getting rid of it.
I wanted to give an update on DD's elbow. She had her MRI on Wednesday and I talked to the Dr yesterday. At first all they saw was bruising near her trochlea which is on the other side of the capitellum. Then I pushed the Dr to look again and they saw a small potential lesion (again not near...
My daughter's elbow started bothering her in January (actually started in the fall then stopped for a while). She had pain while doing BHS on beam, then it started to hurt on floor and then a bit even out of the gym. I took her to an orthopedic who did an X-ray and called it Little League...
Hello!
I have been to several doctors, but no one has an answer to my strange problem and all of them sent me away saying "rest 3-5 weeks and then start training slowly and carefully."
So I first felt the pain a year ago. After doing chin-ups and pull-ups, I felt a light sharp pain on the...
Well, got my first gymnastics injury yesterday! I was on the high bar with a pit on one side and mats on the other, I was facing the pit. I simply did a kip cast and swung forward and on the back swing my grips just slipped off the bar. There was no way I could hold on! So as I was falling I...
State championships are in 5 weeks and I've gone and Broke my elbow and sprained my wrist. Cast is't coming off for another 7 weeks. I know I can condition, and I can work on skills that don't involve my arms, but I'm not sure What else I can do. I'm out of state now. I was thinking of dropping...
Hey everyone. It's been a while since I've been on CB! Last night at gym, while doing a front handspring vault, as I blocked onto the vault and tried to push off, my right elbow collapsed under me and I landed on the mat. They laid me still until I could put a splint on my arm and my dad drove...
UGH! I got a call from the school nurse today. DS fell at recess, landed on his elbow. She was worried it might be broken. I got him in with his orthopedist (from his fractured ankle in the spring). Honestly, I thought that it was just a little beaten up; but still wanted it checked.
Turns...
So i dislocated my elbow whilst at a meet a couple of weeks ago. 3 ambulance called in one day :/ haha not a good day i think we can say at the least- one was me and my elbow, one was a girl pinging off the bars in front giants and the other was a girl who did her acl on the vault
Anyway i was...
Minor fracture of the elbow a few weeks ago - no pins, no displacement, or anything truly terrible. She was given the option of no cast, but I insisted, as I know she wouldn't stay off it. Three weeks later, cast is off, and there is some soreness, which doctor said is expected. She's free to...
This is NOT a post for medical advice, just wondering if anyone had dealt with this type of injury and how long was your child out?
My 9 year old daughter was doing one of her regular power tumbling passes (roundoff full whip whip full flic full punch front). This is a pass that she has done...
My DD (8) fractured her elbow last night at gym. Having surgery and pins put in place today. The surgeon has said 6-9 months before she can go back to gym. I haven't discussed in detail with him yet since I'm more concerned with getting her through the surgery and having a working elbow at this...
Does anyone have a specific recommendation for an elbow brace that allows some support without restricting movement too much?
We are 8 weeks out from a broken humerus injury and very slowly starting back at the gym for modified full workouts. The physical therapist said some elbow support for...
Well, I finally received that dreaded phone call. The Fellows was doing a back walkover and landed wrong. My heart just drops when the phone rings while she is at practice. She promptly informed me I was going to have to get over that because "gymnastics is dangerous mom". So right she is...
Last night DD hyperextended her elbow pretty bad. took her to the doctor today. No fracture, just a bad sprain. Looks like she is out of commission for a couple weeks. Any suggestion for an elbow suppirt for vault & floor when she first goes back? I have seen some for hyperextension, but also...
