I have a consult with a shoulder specialist on Monday. Looking like torn labrum and probably torn rotator cuff. Surgical repair all but certain. Will be in a sling for 6 weeks and won't be a full strength for a fucking year.
>175# OHP will drop to broomstick >4 plate squat to bar >5 plate DL to 1 plate.
Worth it though. Haven't been able to bench in 2 years without pain and can't throw anything. Looking forward to moving on with my life.
I have a UTI but my doctors say it isn't a fucking UTI but my fucking urethra burns and it tightens so hard when I jizz and I wish I could go to my urologist but my fucking doctors send me to a kidney specialist.
FUCK ME.
Colton Myers
Kidney stones possibly
Chase Peterson
Do you think? I don't feel the slightest back there.
David Clark
Could be.
Could be Interstitial cystitis from atg squats
Luis Russell
I don't think so. I am 200% sure I have urethritis, but I mean, fuck me and my knowledge, right?
Sigh. Good luck on your shoulder, though.
Gavin Martin
i had a pec tear last year. Had to take 6 months off, and just hit my first PR since that time. Was shit, and may be done with serious 1RM bench for ever, and will just do endless reps of 225. I also popped my sternum doing dips like 4 years ago and it has never been the same. And my right knee had an ACL tear almost 18 years ago, and whenever I squat it started filling with a huge ball of fluid.
35 fucking sucks.
Christopher Sanchez
There are so many variables with this stuff. Half the time UTIs aren't found bc the tests they give you aren't sensitive enough. You may have to see a few doctors before this is sorted out. Stay strong. I know this sort of thing sucks and answers are lacking. You'll find someone competent.
In the mean time, change your diet up. Drink water only, if not already. Don't take tums and any other Calcium heavy stuff
Carter Stewart
I tore both my labrums a few years back and even up till recently had a ton of pain doing bench and OHP (quit for a while). Now im back to 1pl8 OHP for reps. Look into concentrated tumeric, gaia herbs makes a good one but be careful to space it out if you take fish oil as it is a blood thinner.
Didnt get a full rotator tear so I cant speak to that, get an MRI for sure but from speaking to surgeons if its just a labral tear it will mostly cause pain and not reach further injury. Just dont do cleans and shit.
Thomas Jones
That sounds rough
How'd you pop sternum? I thought that was a meme? I do weighted dips (I weigh 215# and use 25# plate in addition) and go waaay too deep on dips. This is a fear
Adam Garcia
Could be the chlamydia, that honestly sounds exactly like the clap.
Jason Martin
So you didn't get surgery? You just mitigate it with natural anti-inflammatories?
You're a better man than I. My shit is really messed up. The labral tear has certainly changed my anthropometry so I can't even OHP correctly or do tricep extensions correctly. Good to hear a success story though.
MRI will be telling
Grayson Rivera
I was doing my usual dips 10x5, trying for solid form with arm shoulder and elbow placement, weighted w/45lbs. No problem, and I literally heard a pop, and the pain made it hard to breathe. It would only go away when i stretched my hands together over my head, and my sternum "cracks" like knuckles now, and that makes the pain go away.
Pretty sad about it, I loved dips.
Logan Sanders
Did he get a UA and UC? If the UA is negative, that's pretty definitive. Not all peepee pain is a UTI.
Ayden Moore
that sucks user!
did you see an md for this?
Ethan Thomas
Need some advice bros.
My mom who has previously cracked her rib, has intense rib pain from pushing down on a water bottle to put the top on (the water cooler ones). She said she heard a pop.
My thinking is she tore a muscle from incorporating too much neighboring muscles into her pushing as her main ones are weak. Or just everything was weak.
I was thinking when she heals that if she started doing pushups that she could prevent this in the future, as I think it has a lot to do with her serratus. Do I seem like I'm on the right track?
>go to the doctor Doctors are useless unless you have a broken bone, plus even if she had a broken rib, doctors do fuck all about that.
Basically, would strengthening the serratus/chest/shoulders do well to prevent rib injuries?
Michael Taylor
Same thing here. I sometimes get sternum pain when doing heavy bench. I only bench 2.5 plate, but have a 4.5 squat and 6 plate deadlift.
I got my sternum snaps doing 5x5 with 90 lbs. My sternum is also not the same, ~3 years later. Don't hurt your sternum. If fucking sucks. If you ever feel tension or pain, just stop immediately and do some other shit for your chest and tris. Sternum snaps from dips are a well documented phenomenon. Just google "sternum pop dips". I really fucking loved weighted dips too. They feel awesome. Until your sternum breaks.
Tyler Turner
there's so much going on here I wouldn't know where to start? how long ago did this happen?
she needs to be doing compounds to develop everything and get strong for old age anyway. Get a girl barbell/take her to the gym and start having her do the main lifts.
Asher Harris
Strained/tore the ligaments in my lower back like five times already, both in the gym and at work. This shit us fucking horrible.
Eli Bell
>Doctors are useless unless you have a broken bone, plus even if she had a broken rib, doctors do fuck all about that.
I cant agree with this, my sports medicine doc is great, and extremely knowledgeable. She should see an ortho with a sports medicine focus.
Ethan Wilson
>high test broad >whew
you've done rehab to the lower back area following your injuries? you do compound lifts in the gym?
Alexander Watson
Yeah I came literal days from surgery but decided not to, 5-6 months of rehab didnt seem worth it. Again according to the surgeon the tear will just cause pain HOWEVER he did say larger tears can lead to chronic dislocation and rotator cuff tears. Get the MRI and talk to an arthroscopic surgeon who specializes in just shoulders, he will tell you the severity of the tear. My shoulders still hurt before the tumeric, but there was no weakness just pain. Its a massive difference between fish oil by itself.
I did get 90 hydrocodone 10mg before "surgery" though :D
Parker Davis
that's the thing, I got to watch a shoulder replacement surgery in the OR. and that convinced me I need to get it fixed. The longer I wait, the more likely it is to become arthritic and a huge issue.
I'm glad you worked out for you though.
Aiden Baker
Yes, I've done bill starr's rehab method and physical therapy. Now I'm going to do this method of starr's rehab:
38. Knee strapped all day. Burns hot if I try and run. Arm tedonosis too. Poor fag cant afford psysio. Google doc for me.
Isaiah Flores
did you almost cry after you sneezed for a year? Because I did.
Ethan Green
>did the bill starr rehab method
I have nothing to add. you're doing the right thing, i think. it's worked for my muscle strains
Brayden Gray
where is your tendon issue in the arm? elbow?
Zachary Martin
>sports doc: how old are you user? >me: 35 >and you are benching how much? >300 and change >you need to consider the fact that you are old with an injury now, and need to begin considering changing your fitness goals >you will never be the same user. >everything that made you strong is scar tissue >it wont get tougher >it will snap
Eli Hall
Even many sports docs are behind on the times when it comes to lifting heavy. take it with a huge grain of salt.
Camden James
>looking to have gyno surgery >shredded so most likely no need for lipo >afraid of losing my gains
fuck, anyone that just had the tissue removed? how long till you went back to lifting heavy shit? it says in the webpage of the surgeon in 3-5 days you can go back to work and around 2 weeks to do exercise but it doesnt mention which emailed them about a portfolio to check his work and then I'll make an appointment
James Campbell
It was also mentioned that that surgery is mostly done in your mid-30s and they will often cut a bicep tendon and re-attach it lower to prevent future injuries, something to consider as well depending on your age.
Just make sure the surgeon who reviews your MRI specializes in shoulders, I went to a couple and at least one of them was practically trying to shove me into a wheelchair and sedate me.
Joseph Cruz
Hurts benching and curls mostly. Pain on the inside of my elbow and along the forearm. If I bend my wrist like opening doors I get a sharp shot of pain on the forearm. I have seen improvement by lifting light with high reps and then heavy with low reps. Though the problem is reduced it is still there.
Julian Edwards
Messed up my left knee during cross country training a while back, now I can't run anymore. It sucks bros but at least I got into lifting because of it.
Jason Williams
bumping for personal titty interests
Angel Bailey
So, I've torn both pecs, no surgery, dips where tears were/are. Slight left bicep tear, Left shoulder, 2004, rotator torn, repaired, Right shoulder 3 muscles and 2 tendons, 2008, repaired, 15 anchors holding it together, college wrestling, Dr was/is Olympic doc in Colorado Springs, shoulders doing great, he said to lift weights to build muscle to protect and strengthen shoulders, doing OHP again, no pain, did rehab for both, was told wear sling for a week, and when around ppl and sleeping, gradually and slowly move shoulder more and more or lose mobility.Throw a ball like a girl now but no pain other than when the weather changes....now left knee bugging me..lol still lifting and running though...
Julian Perez
Squat went down big time, hard as fuck to hold bar after shoulder surgeries...massive sharp pain in shoulders putting bar behind my back and trying to securely hold it!!!
Alexander Wilson
I believe I have a minor tear in my wrist on the pinky side. Going to an orthopedic clinic tomorrow, then a sports doctor depending on the results of the first visit
>fell playing basketball >land on wrist with all my weight
Shit didn't hurt so much until the next day, but it it's been two weeks now and it hasn't gotten any better since the third or fourth day after the initial injury. From what I've read, it seems that I have a TFCC tear, which is notoriously difficult to heal.
>can't bench at all, just as I was about to hit 2pl8 >can OHP and DB bench with a wrist strap >can't curl >can't squat >chin ups cause immense pain
Thomas Kelly
Had (have) a TFCC tear, I wear this thing called a wrist widget that I had to wear constantly before but now just for lifting. A million times better than any splints but theyre 35 bucks and you have to replace them around every 6 months :\
Oliver Carter
Are you jizzing right after taking a piss? You're supposed to wait a bit. That shit fucking Burns yo, takes a while to go away too
Nolan Bell
I actually have one of those coming in the mail tomorrow. How long ago did you tear yours?
Sebastian Ward
Also, did you lose grip strength? Gripping and pulling movements don't bother me. Most people with a TFCC injury seem to have pain with gripping movements
Nicholas Reed
Early 2015, didnt try the widget till about a year ago and it healed in about 6 months for the most part. I'm sure there's still some damage but now it doesnt hurt unless I really force it. What makes it great is it lets you continue to lift while it heals, and effectively too. Just avoid skull crushers and upward rows. After you wear it you will realize how ridiculously pointless wristwraps are.
Andrew Howard
Grip strength wasn't really the problem, more the opposite direction. Pain would radiate in the distal side of my wrist when pushed distally or holding shit up, so I couldn't grip in certain ways more out of pain than weakness. Deadlifts weren't a problem if that's what you mean.
Samuel Martinez
Sounds exactly like what I'm dealing with. I appreciate it mate.
Hopefully the wrist widget makes a difference
Angel Gonzalez
OP, should have done your rotator cuff strengthening workouts from the get go. Luckily I had a baseball pitcher friend who drilled the importance of rotator cuffs into me. That being said, I had similar stats to yours which fell a shit ton after 3 years of being a lazy bum, except I had 205 OHP at 200 bw
Got some twinges in my right shoulder today though, gonna have to chill a bit
Jeremiah Sanchez
Wait, when I stretch, like say for yawns, I can crack my sternum. Should I be concerned?
Nolan Wilson
I sprained my ligaments in upper back doing chinups (kek) on monday. It still hurts bad.
Xavier Myers
1RMing is a meme anyway. Doing sets of 1-6 reps worked for me to get my noob gains, maybe for about two years. But unless you have god-tier genetics, its not sustainable or necessary in the long run.
I think that switching to higher volume will probably make most people feel much better, if they are past the intermediate stage.
However, I could be completely wrong
Jeremiah Carter
I have the flu.
Jack Carter
the front of my shin hurts when I squat after I failed a rep, doctor told me to come back in a month if it still hurts >cant squat for 1 month What exercise do I do to replace squats?
