Spoke through leg=pain
Earlier while i was out riding i jumped off a ledge that's about 6ft tall. And i think due to the cold weather and my wheel needing some spokes to be tightened a spoke snapped. Not only did it snap but i landed on some loose gravel that i did not see and slipped. The way i fell stabbed the spoke directly into my leg, out of instinct i instantly screamed and pulled it out of my leg(it didnt go all the way through but was pretty dang deep). My leg still hurts it hasnt swelled up at all, it doesnt look very bad but there was alot of blood earlier. Do you guys think i should go to a doctor and get it checked out? Im sure that having a foreign object impale your leg poses some threat of infection.. I dont think it needs stitches, but i never think i need stitches even if i probably should.. Right now im debating super gluing it up and forgetting about it..or just going to to doctor..hmm -- unisteez -what, if some day or night a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: 'this life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more' ...- -AMOR FATI- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ unisteez's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/11988 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/56926 |

maybe an inch and a half, i kinda freaked out and pulled it out fast before i got a good look at it. But from what i can tell it went about an inch or more deep. -- unisteez -what, if some day or night a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: 'this life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more' ...- -AMOR FATI- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ unisteez's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/11988 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/56926 |

If I was stabbed by something like a spoke... which has tons of dirt on it most likely.. I would definitely go see a doctor. -- Borgschulze http://borgschulze.deviantart.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Borgschulze's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/13501 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/56926 |

flush it with hydrogen peroxide and put a bandaid on it, thats all a doc would do. You dont need stitches for a puncture wound. -- Evan Byrne onetrack wrote: kapoute wrote: Is there someone that can have fun with his penis with his mouth?
