I recently had a bad bike fall. Emergency services had to come scrape me up. Because I have trained myself not to throw my arms out I escaped more serious shoulder injury than what I got, but it seems my elbow hit first, which needed a lot of sutures. That's fine now but my shoulder still hurts, especially when I get up in the morning or make certain movements.
I'm back to doing everything I was doing including getting about on my bicycle. I know I will have to give that up eventually but it's a source of joy in my life and a major source of exercise, especially in that I have not gotten back to the gym yet.
