[Ronja] with silicone grease to hospital

[Karel Kulhavy]

I tried to put the silicone grease on the front truck of my skateboard. Made sure the
nut is tightened the same amount of threads as before.

The result was impressive. The board turned easily and didn't lose energy during that.
However, the turning range was also increased because now the trucks didnt have to
overcome friction of rubber against aluminium.

I tried to ride slalom with it slowly and suddenly the wheel touched the board (wheelbite). Wheelbite on the front truck has positive feedback that means a slight
touch is enough and the wheel wedges between the board and the pavement and the skateboard totally blocks. It sent me flying and I landed on the ground, hitting it with the tip of my elbow which created a little hole in the skin there.

There is a hollow space on the tip of the elbow filled with some kind of grease.
The hole caused this space to open. In a hospital they told me it has to be taken out in total anesthesia othewise it will get infected!

I refused this invasive therapy so they gave me antibiotics and immobilized the hand.
On the Internet I found no mentions of this invasive therapy, rather they were recommending noninvasive therapy with antibiotics in multiple articles.

Have you even encountered this kind of damage and if yes did they also recommend such an invasive therapy?
