I hurt my right shoulder in an off-road incident.

I could move my fingers enough to throttle and brake, but couldn't lift my arm more than a foot away from the side of my body.

After I got on the bike, I had to use my left hand to lift my right hand onto the handlebar then I could ride. Shoulder actually stopped hurting in that position, so that was good.

Had to ride like that for two days to get back to a place where I could recover properly.

Yeah I low sided on green moss and came down hard on the point of my shoulder and damaged my rotator cuff permanently ... I could ride but had to lift right hand on to the bars and it was a painful 100k getting home.
Lesson was to avoid green moss and do my damn jacket up ...if I had landed on the padding still would have hurt but no where as bad as I've lowsided in dirt too many times to count.
Was a couple of years to reach the top shelves in the kitchen and steroid injections only helped for a few weeks then wore off.

Shoulder is broken, fractured off part of the arm bone that the shoulder muscles attach to. Never broke anything before.. kinda sucks hopefully it heals well, and explains why it was next to impossible to pick up the bike and ride it home lol

At least you’re still around and we’re able to ride home. What happened? GWS!

EDIT: never mind saw the description
