binned quite bad few days ago, messed up some parts of me so cant ride yet but I also hit my arm really hard when I fell so now for 3 days I have had a constant dead arm and its in a lot of pain if I lift up something as light as a mobile phone or move it. Any ideas why this is? or how long it will take to go away etc. cheers
If there's any nasty looking swelling it'll be a fracture/break, but more likely it'll be a major contusion (read: really bad internal bruising). If it's still tender to touch in a couple of days, get it checked out. But if you're in any doubt at all, get it checked out.
i fell of over 18 months to 2 years ago landing on my side, went proper numb and to this day it is numb just a little less intense. perhaps its due to some sort of nerve damage or whatever if it persists.
ive got a numb knee , had it about 6 weeks , no sensation on the skin above my knee , i can put an ice cube on my knee without feeling it .
i have exactly the same except just below my knee.
no feeling in it except pins and needles.
happed 1 1/2-2 years ago whilst street riding and never healed.
bummer

could it not be a trapped nerve? I have trapped a nerve in my shoulder playing rugby and thought my arm was broken because it was such a wierd pins and needles numbness!
yep it hurts, yeah visible bruising and a bit of swelling and cant lift it straight out. Cant really see bruising properly just parts cos i also cut my arm the same time as the crash so its a bit messed up lol
