    8 Year Old Competitive Cheer Injury

    I’m so glad you still see it in a positive way! I cheered my whole life but that was prior to this whole competitive world. I love that she loves it and it helps to hear from people like you that have lived it from different sides and loved it. I will definitely post an update. You’ve been great :)

    8 Year Old Competitive Cheer Injury

    Thank you so much! That’s great advice. I wish I could share pics here. My daughter is still conditioning and doing her needle stretch on the floor (in a split) with one arm. She continues wall sits, leg lifts and anything else she can without her arm. She’s really something else for a young...

    Healing Broken Arm- Need Reassurance And Feedback

    Oh my God! No not what I wanted to hear. Do you know what may have gone wrong? Was she not going for follow up visits or was it same story where doctor said it would straighten out on it’s own? Our doctor has been in business over 20 years specializing in kids sports medicine but this is a huge...

    8 Year Old Competitive Cheer Injury

    First.. thank u for sharing your story with me and being responsive!! I’ve never been through this or broke anything so I really have no idea what to expect. I can’t believe how legnthy of a healing process it seems to be. I’m so paranoid she will re break it too... I’m so sorry you had to...

    8 Year Old Competitive Cheer Injury

    We have about a week and a few days left of the cast and then she will be wearing a brace. We decided not to allow her to participate in summit since it was less than two weeks out of the cast (even if it wasn’t involving tumbling or major stunts). It’s just too risky for RE break in my opinion...

    8 Year Old Competitive Cheer Injury

    I’m so sorry to hear this! It’s also my biggest fear (re break). How long did the soreness last? And how long before she was able to resume “normal” activities comfortably? I think I will keep her out of cheer over the summer. August will be about 5 months since the incident (not sure that’s...
