Training for a few weeks on a broken arm and not realising- I'd say you've earned a fair few "man-points."
Ow. What sweep were you going for when the forearm broke? Did you make a mistake or was it just something that happens?
I dont know what I would do if I got injured with no insurance.:icon_cry2
I have no insurance and worry occasionally while in BJJ that something might snap or go wrong
obviously this couldn't happen to a healthy bone, and it snapped exactly in the same spot that my arm had been bothering me for weeks, so i was told that my arm was already fractured, this just finished it off.
Yuck. Did you used to have insurance and just recently lost it or have you been training all this time uninsured?
I'm currently uninsured right now, as well. I started a new job and won't have insurance for another 60 days so I have to be careful as well to not injure myself.
I ask because I've been bicep sliced many many times, and after a few weeks soreness has turned into pain. I cant even hold off armbar attempts. Now when people pull my arm it feels like it's going to crack in that exact spot. The only reason I dont release thre grip is because I think to myself "nah, the arm cant really break like that. Not when you are just defending an armbar."
Now this thread has me worried. Luckily my arm has returned to just being sore as opposed to being in pain.
good luck in your recuperation, and hopefully it is a speedy one. just remember not to rush it, and take the time away from the mats to enjoy the other aspects of your life.
