    After reading the "I smashed my elbow" thread, I decided to wear elbow
    pads today, which I normally don't.
    ....and then I fell, hard, on my left elbow.
    Which, as luck would have it, pushed the elbow pads up on my upper arm
    as my elbow flesh got scraped across main street. But, the pad took the
    impact, so nothing major with the elbow.
    But my left shoulder hurts. On my back, where my shoulder blade sticks
    out..a bit below my actual shoulder.
    I fell about 15 minutes ago. Now I'm starting to get pins and needles in
    my shoulder, wierd tingling feelings. And it still hurts.
    I'm a bit hesitant to say how much it hurts. It's nothing unbearable at
    all, and normally I'd say it didn't feel bad at all, but that's what I
    said when I messed up my ankle and ripped a tendon in half.
    So, is this normal?
    I suppose I should just see if it gets any better in an hour or so, but
    I was just looking for an excuse to post another thread.

    Sounds like you may have pinched a nerve or somehing. If it doesn't
    start to feel better relatively soon, be sure to have a professional
    look at it.

    Interesting that you took a hard elbow fall right after putting on elbow
    protection. This goes along with all the "evidence" Just zis guy was
    pushing in the Helmets thread...

    I suppose you ask your doctor for unicycling advice?

    I like this, made me laugh. Just a habit, I suppose.

    John Foss, I see your point. Still haven't made up my mind.
    I certainly don't think that wearing elbow pads caused this fall--I was
    learning a new trick where the foot position inhibited my ability to run
    out of a UPD.
    However, would I have taken this fall had I not been wearing elbow pads?
    Probably not, as I would probably not have tried this 50 times in a row
    had I not been wearing pads.

    my shoulder blade has been hurting, too, but not from a specific fall.
    every once in a while while riding long distances, my shoulder blade
    hurts really bad, and it's very sudden almost like a bad cramp. it only
    lasts a minute. i should probably stretch before unicycling long
    distances....does anyone already do this?
