I fractured my coccyx last Tuesday while trout fishing . I slipped down an embankment and landed on my tailbone . I thought it was nothing but then Wednesday I was having a lot of pain . I went and had it diagnosed yesterday and it will take about 3 weeks to heal ? hopefully ! So Im out of action until the 15th of June , cause no matter what Im going to cutty ! just wanted to keep everyone on the same page .

.....OOOOOH....Thats a reel bummer Chris....:eek: you know what I mean...every type of back injury sux, (Tailbone Fracture!! YIKES!!:( )


...just make sure your well rested for the trip, you don't want to have any re-occurances while your rock hopping at Cutty...

....THAT MEANS NO FISHING TILL THEN!!...:as: :err: ....now I really feel for ya....;)

..don't worry, I'll reel that 40#er for ya if you can't handle it...:D

uggh...sounds like a real pain in the arse...:rolleyes: ;)

See what happens when you Bust yer A$$? You can't fish...

Get better soon....

Owww. Take it easy, get lots of rest and take your calcium supplements. Hope you're on the mend...

Get better, you could probably fish near home, but the driving is what is going to HURT...

Sorry about your pain in the butt, hope you mend quickly and can get back on the water.

Heel up quickly.

Ya know, you're saving it for Cuttyhunk but you could REALLY break yer a$$ out there ;)

Chris sorry to hear of your injury hope you heal fast it will be 6-15 before you know:bshake: sorry I could not resist :smash:

Been there, done that. Theres no doubt after seeing that ex-ray that humans come from apes. Looks like Darwin was right. Too bad we still don't have those tails, could come in handy in certain situations.......

very true scotch very true .
thanks for all the words everyone . Ill try out the fishing on Sunday or Monday to see if I can still cast my butt off . ;)

Take good care of that injury Chris while your wife and kids can wait on you .

Sorry to hear that, it sounds painful. I hope you're not sitting down at the computer :eek:

Chris sorry to hear . sounds painfull

Just make sure there is somebody home when you set the hook. ;)

just take it easy chris.. don't wanna have anything happen between now and 6/15. get well soon

Chris, take it easy and get well soon.

You must be in store for something really good to happen to you -- Yin and Yang -- how about a 50 from shore!

Mike

Fish Eye - how was the trip? That was last week, right?

CHRIS I HAVE EXPERIENCED THAT AND WAS ON CRUTCHES FOR WEEKS... THE BEST THING TO HAVE IS A DONUT PILLOW TO FLOAT YOUR TAILBONE IN THE AIR....,OK? ,THEY'RE SOLD EVERYWHERE.
NUMBER TWO: IS " LIDOCAINE PATCHES" THEY ARE PEEL AND STICK AND WHEN USED IN COMBINATION WITH ORAL MEDS WORK WONDERS FOR RELIEF....UP YOUR CALCIUM INTAKE AND ALL YOUR HEALING VITAMINS AS IN A, E, C, FOR A SPEEDY RECOVERY.... GET WELL........ RAVEN :eek: :

Get Better Bubbah. and come see Me for a Bassmaster night of fishin.....'
We can bring Slip and listen to Him whine:D
look Me up Bubbah

well I went trout fishing Monday ( different river ) Did well , not much pain for the 1.25 hour ride . So a Mass road trip wont be unbearale . 15 minutes in to fishing and I slip on my ass again . I sit in the wet mud for a few minutes and I get up all is fine . I catch 8 trout from 1.5 to 3 #s to make it all worthwhile . So Im back !!!!!!!!! bring on cutty and its rocks Im ready and stupid !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to everyone for their thoughts and kind words .

Sorry to hear it Chris.

let me tell you a story. back when I played hockey I landed on my tailbone and got up ok and sore the next day like you. Ignored it and played the next day. went down on it again and had to crawl off the ice. Laid me up for a month.

No sense in losing half the season. Be sure you are ready before you push it.
