My boyfriend Arnold May have a broken hip. He fell from the highest point of the park from the peak of his jump while trying to 50 a ledge at a skatepark last week.
The fall caused him to land directly on his side, focussing mainly on his hip area. The bruising and swelling was already severe, but with an attempt to skate again a week later accompanied by another fall on the same hip and with a punch in the area from a co-worker pretty much sealed the deal.
He now has even more swelling and hardening in the area and is hardly able to walk or do anything for that matter. He was finally convinced that he needed to go to the hospital for an x-ray and is now on his way to hear the diagnosis.
The swelling is so unbelievable that it looks fake. It looks like he has one male butt with no hip and another that is a female butt with a very curvy hip. It looks fake. I took a picture becuase it was so swollen. I would post it up for you to see, but I doubt he'd want his picture posted for the world to see.
I'll be back with more news once he gets out of the emergency room.
