Fractured my back.....I'm so excited

[larlev]

I have what's called a "Clay Shovelers Fracture". Anyone ever had this?
They are going to surgically remove the bone......nothing like back pain..


... just when I was playing pretty darn good too.

Damn dude. Sorry to hear about that.
Here is what I got from a quick Google search of "Clay Shovelers Fracture"

Damn dude. Sorry to hear about that.

Mine is not on the neck but at the mid-back area...I thought I just pulled a muscle....hell I pulled it so hard it broke off the bone... I knew those 300yd drives were at a price.....

Should have just stuck with the easy swinging 290 yarders

Seriously though, I hope you get better soon. That stuff is never fun.

Aw, mang... that's horrible. Take care and let yourself recuperate FULLY. You don't want to compromise your future enjoyment of the game!

Sorry to hear man, Not sure if this is similiar but I fractured a bone near my spine called the Sacrum near my ass. It was during hockey season so I didnt have to worry about missing golf.

Ouch, that sounds terrible. Srroy to hear about that. Any diagnosis on when you'll be back to golf?

ERC good link thanks....

As far as time frame.....Not sure on anything at the moment...I do know I can either have it removed, or just deal with it. If surgery is the way to go, I will have it done soon...

Oh well..... I'll just practice my putting for awhile....
