Overshot a jump Tuesday on my last run to the car and crashed hard into the lip of the next jump. Couldn’t breathe for a while and then couldn’t straighten myself up. Spent ~15mins gasping on the side of the trail and then walked down about a mile to the car.
Got home and into the shower, peed and was alarmed to see massive gush of bright red blood and 50-100 big clots coming out.
Got myself to the ER, had to wait 3 hours without being admitted and no pain meds, puked from the pain in the CT scanner, eventually got me onto a cot. A shot of morphine didn’t touch it and a bigger shot of diloudid still barely took any pain off. It took three full shots within an hour to get my pain below a 7/10.
Grade 4 kidney laceration, bleeding stopped within 24 hours. I got released from the hospital at about 48 hours but every day I get a new high pain score. Also dealing with massive bloating and constipation from my guts getting scrambled.
Anybody deal with this before? How long until you started feeling a bit better? Even at home, 5mg of Oxy doesn’t really touch the pain and it randomly comes and goes, sometimes just a minor twinge other times a massive spasm that hits the entire abdomen and flank.
