stab, sorry to hear of your bad luck dude. it sucks. but maybe you should lay off for a while. it's possible your bod is trying to tell you to take it easy or you will end up with an even more serious injury? fingers crossed the latest one's not too bad and you're able to make it into the snow next week.

Sounds very unlucky or else you are one radical dude...
In over 20 years of almost annual ski trips I think the worst I've had is a few bruises (touching wooden desk as I type). Maybe I'm just dull and careful...
Chin up and get fit soon...

that's me. Compared to stab though, most of us are probably dull and careful.

Stab
I am beaming you over a bit of the old bar shaker's luck. By christ it sounds like you need it.
This getting old lark isn't nice. I got the new Red Bull mag though the other day and there's a picture of Shaun White on the cover, floating above the clouds, holding a rail. Then reality sets in as I read that he isn't even half my age.
FAF picturing you walking round like Yoda though.

stab, you could (like my hubby did) break your neck at low speed on a blue run, now that's bad luck, and he was on skis. Had been jumping with our sons minutes before.
Hope your luck changes soon too, his season is over before it even began.

A thought just occurred to me stab, do you think skill and talent may be getting overlooked by some inane blindness and desire?

stab, you better not hope its a sciatica nerve problem
ive known a few people to suffer with it through heavy lifting
you sound like youve got a trapped nerve
have you tried a Chiropractic Clinic,they give your back a good crack and use some vibrating thing to relax your muscles

stab, You may have what I had – your lower back disc is pressing on your sciatic nerve, this may take 6 weeks to clear up or it may never clear up (mine lasted 9 months of unbearable pain, then reduced to continual 24 hour a day pain equivalent to having a torn hamstring maybe). There are two issues, firstly what damage has been done to your disc and it is this that gives you the ‘old mans back’, and then there is that toothe ache type shooting pain down your leg which is caused by the disc pushing on the nerve.
Firstly the disc, if it is just dislodge a bit then maybe it can sort itself out, but in all probability you have compressed (from your heavy landing) it and it has prolapsed (the softer inner part of it is squeezing out and pushing on the nerve), and if this is the case the only real way to sort it out is surgery, i.e. a discectomy. DO NOT LET SOME QUACK TELL YOU THEY CAN PUSH IT BACK IN - your link to that webs site explains it quite well.
Symptoms – (1) pain in your back that basically disables you from work walking etc., (2) shooting pain down your leg which can be so bad that you can not stand, sit, lay down or walk, (3) numbness/pins’n’needles in your @rse or leg or feet, and (4) finally restricted bowel movement.
Cure – well for (1) and (2) the doctor will give you painkillers (try getting diclomax anti-inflamatory pills and co-codomal 30/500 pain killers – any lower strength ones will not work but these ones make you ‘float’ around so do not go driving piste bashers) and just say get on with it, unless you can prove that it is seriously changing your way of life, or you can no longer do your job etc. (3) you may get an MRI scan (4) you will get a MRI scan and you will be operated on within a couple of days
I would suggest you go and see your doctor and describe symptoms (1), (2) and more importantly (3) because you need a MRI scan to see what is wrong, but under UK NHS they will not give you a scan for (1) and (2), so you need to lie a bit and say you are having some periodical pins’n’needles and numbness in your foot; the scan will tell you exactly what the situation is and you can plan what you want to do and how you want to manage the problem.
btw - in the end i went for (1), (2) & (3) and had the operation

nigel b, chiropractic can, maybe not always, lead you into woo-ism. It is mostly quackery. As is Osteopathy. Sadly. Free lunches so often let you down...

riverman, no. Got the x wing something or other and those suspects. I'll check as I dont really pay that much attention to the makes of ski, only the sidecut/length.

riverman, after a quick google I think we do have them, maybe not Z14 though, definitely tornado something though.

FAQ
I know what you mean though, I should recover from everything 1st. Doctor thinks my neck is related to the rib injury which still isnt good.
