Last night I was playing basketball and one of my buddies had the great idea of throwing me an alley oop. First off, even though I can dunk very easily I have never tried an oop, basically because I am very uncoordinated. So I get a good run at the goal and I went up and my friend threw the ball up and quite a bit behind me but I went for the ball anyway. As I caught the ball I realized I didnt have a chance of throwing down and I was also basically parallel to the ground and didn's have a chance of landing on my feet. In a sporadic effort to not severlly injure myself I tried to grab the rim with both hands. I was only able to get a good grip with one hand and the other I jammed on the other side of the rim. Since I was running at near full speed, I was pulled off the rim rather violently and then went crashing to the ground and I landed on both feet and both hands.
Basically to list my injuries:
Left Arm:
Two jammed fingers- both are still very sore
Right Arm:
Wrist hurts like hell from landing- kinda feels like I sprained it
My elbow and shoulder also hurt like a mother. I think I hurt them when I tried to grab the rim. It felt like some one was tugging really hard on my arm.
So basically, should I wait a few days or should I go to the doctor ASAP. I usually wait if I do anything to my ankles and the soreness always goes away but I haven't ever jacked up my arms.
And to top it off, I didnt even make the damn shot.
