Freak accident broke my leg (lemmy.one)

My classmate during randori failed a drop osoto gari right as I landed from a hop and planting my foot hard. Somehow this caused my tibia/fibula to POP!

Everybody in the dojo thought I just landed really hard until they saw how wrong my leg looked.

Anyway, I'm recovering and will be filing an insurance claim with USJA.

Update: I'm healing quickly.

Sometimes our meat sacks just fail, I guess.

I had to look up the ibuprofen thing. It seems the issue is NSAIDs more broadly, which is a shame cuz this crap hurts.

Yeah my surgeon told me that when I broke my wrist a few years ago. I stuck with acetaminophen and aspirin as much as I could for this injury.
