I pulled a muscle in the back of my leg doing back flips (not on skis, just random backflips on that ground and off stuff  : Claim)
And, after a while I think it would be better then I'd pull it again doing something stupid, it sucked. That went on for like a year. It's all good now.

I used to hurt my thumbs over and over and over again every day I went skiing.

I would drive up to the mountain, take two warm up runs, practice my 360s and on the fouth or fifth one I would fall, land on my thumb and it would kill for the rest of the day and I would have to take it easy.  i had no fun, and I couldn't progress.

So I went to my local medical store, bought these cheap thumb splints, put them under my gloves and I have yet to have a thumb problem skiing.  Since then I have been able to push harder, have more fun and do more tricks. 

You should really talk to an orthopedic surgeon.  But I know they make gloves that have wrist guards built in.  I would highly suggest you order a pair and see how it works.  I know getboards has them.  Lemme get you the link:

best of luck

Seperated AC joint in which the doc said there wouldnt be a reoccuring problem but I still tweak it now and then, resulting in serious pain.

i wonder if i had the same problem last year. i had shin bang incredibly bad, and now my shins feel bumpy everywhere. like there's little tiny holes or parts missing or something. is that what yours are like?

surgery.

my buddy had the same thing, like to the point where if you pushed him in that shoulder, it popped out. it was ridiculous. on a normal day of skiing, he dislocated his shoulder 7 or 8 times...got surgery and fixed it.

yea, i have the same problem....  When i broke my leg and got my cast off... like once a week i would pull a muscle and it would hurt the whole day, come to think of it, it still does it.... It's been six months and it WON'T GO AWAY!! it better not affect my skiing

I got a compression fracture back in two vertebrae in 05 learning front flips in the backcountry, caught an edge on the lip and dove straight into the heavy pow, scorpioned, blah blah blah, anyways , whenever i land a little weird i manage to tweak it and it makes walking aliving hell since i look like an old fart leaning forward grabbing my back holding onto things just to get around.
