Unless the affected parts dry out and fall off, then maybe...Antonia?!?!

Went to urgent care. Said I have a pubic bone contusion with soft tissue hematoma. If the area swells up or the bruising runs down my leg then I should go to the ER. Otherwise, I have to keep icing and avoid strenuous activity for a few days.
Thank goodness it didn’t happen on a holiday weekend with perfect weather….

I had just gotten back from a ride and was breaking sticks for a campfire. Noticed I "scratched" my leg and was bleeding, but I am always bleeding from my legs when I get back from a ride (gotta love flat pedals with screws). Built campfire, stacked wood, and then went in to clean up. While I was showering I noticed something strange under the skin. Dried off and got dressed, asked my wife for help extracting a splinter. Only problem is the splinter is more than an inch long and for some reason a half inch from the puncture wound. First emergency clinic is closed, find a second one on the way to the closest ER. After sitting in the emergency clinic for three hours, the doc created another hole closer to the object and pulled this sucker out.

So you impaled yourself but didn’t notice anything strange?

I guess they need to change nursery rhyme the line to:
Sticks and stones will break my skin
But I will never feel it. ?

I assumed i scratched myself and because the piece of wood embedded i couldn't see anything beyond the puncture hole.
While we waited at the emergency clinic my wife bought some tweezers, needles, and alcohol pads so we could try to remove it ourselves (no dice)

3 ipa's and toenail clippers....
Was doing TM this morning with my hedge trimmer and did a 180 on the trail to turn back the way I came. Apparently wasn’t paying attention to the blade location and sliced my shin. The amount of blood at first was somewhat alarming, however I happen to have red socks on and just pulled the sock over the cut. I was a bit nervous when the sock was getting saturated. In any case, finished what I was trimming and got back to the car and put a napkin in the sock. Did some tree work, came back to car and swapped out the napkin and rode for an hour. I have to say it is somewhat impressive how much blood my sock soaked up. It is probably stitchable but decided against it.

I'm fortunate not to have had to post here... you on the other hand... I feel like you frequent this thread and not as a lurker!

I’ve had some recent posts but they are all due to the same injury. Unfortunately, it’s led to complications in the form of a hernia. That’s not to say I haven’t had many other injuries, including one which resulted in a helicopter ride to the ER. 😳

Sorry to hear. I had my hernia surgery about 2 years ago. Mine happened while training for a running event. It slowly got worse and worse over a few weeks. No issues or pain while biking but running really pushed me over the edge. I had the surgery after the event and never looked back.

That's good to know. Did you get laparoscopic surgery or did they cut you open? How long was the recovery?
