[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All gymnasts get back injuries.  And concusions, and sprains (my fav) and broken limbs and compound fracture, and dental problems when they try to do a back-up on the beam and their hands miss so the face and neck take the force of back-flipping motion right on their face and neck.

No, I perform brain surgeries.[/quote]

This horribly inaccurate blanket statement makes me doubt all of your posts. I was a gymnast. I dropped out after level 9 when I was a sophmore in HS. I never had a back injury. Soreness and strain, but no true injury and no continuing issues. I broke my ankle once when I landed a tumbling pass wrong, but that was the only break I ever had. No concussions, and no dental problems. Sprains, bumps, bruises, etc werent rare...but for someone who claims to be in the medical profession to claim that ALL former gymnasts have suffered the same injuries she has and have destroyed their bodies and suffer from eating disorders is pretty ridiculous.

I'm sorry you had a bad experience, or inadequate coaching, or your body wasn't built to survive the sport...but don't blast your nonsense all over this board. [/quote]
