/Injured/

Haha, I'm not really sure what I weigh these days but It's probably not even 150

Had a family member who damaged rotator cuffs at 20 years old. Told they'll never recover/heal, working out was his obsession up until then. He's out of shape now, his life nose dived mentally and socially, it was all he had.

Sounds like me if I don't sort this fucking wrist out

wasn't refering to your current body l

>Told they'll never recover/heal
nah doctors are all gains goblins. Maybe he can't be a powerlifter but I bet some lifting (12+ reps, sets across) will help recovery

2 weeks I go I developed a cyst between my ass crack. I got an appointment for an operation for tomorrow. Doctor says I have to stay in hospital 5 days and if the infection is really bad atleast 2 weeks.

Anybody got experience with this shit?
Im afraid I will rip my ass open during squats after recovery.

you lost a shitton of gains in 4 months desu
I'm this guy and now I'm even more sure about waiting with the surgery. holy shit you're dyel af

My friend had this, but it was before he started lifting, so I can't really help you there. He got surgury and took him a couple weeks before he could walk/sit normally, but he says even to this day he 'doesn't feel right' when he sits, but that's also probably just him.

You'll just fuck yourself even more in the end friendo, I honestly see no upside in you waiting

so there is butt wink and lower back rounding. I'd even try to avoid butt wink for a while, just squat above parallel or parallel if you have the flexibility or the willpower to actually do some resaerch on how to archieve parallel without butt wink

Ask your gp or specialist about if you can squat or not

I pray to God this never happened to me. God bless user. You'll need it from what I hear.

Just get the surgery and roid after.

Did something to my upper arm/shoulder about 8 weeks ago.
>doing incline db bench
>last rep, last set
>elbow locks at the top of the rep
>shoulder “falls”, only way I can describe it
>intense pain upper arm
>decide to take 2 weeks off

>full rotation in arm and shoulder
>still hurts when it’s straight against resistance
>can feel and see my arm shaking when it comes to pushing out last few reps of bench and cannot even do db press as it’s shaking from the get go
>start to worry that it’s serious and not just a strain

My uncles a doctor, says I sprained something and to take a month off of heavy lifting, ie no bench. Said fuck it and did light weight spoto press anyway. Arm didn’t hurt so I guess it’s alright if I keep doing it. Just want this thing to go away, felt like I havnt gone all out on bench in 8 weeks. For something that doesn’t limit my movement and only hurts in very specific activities this thing sure is a bitch and taking fuckin forever to heal. Any bros get something similar?

I had a massive one removed a few years back. Had an open wound at around 10cm in diameter. Took ages to fully close/heal. I did lift again after like 3 weeks though.

Make sure you don't squat too deep, it wil feel very awkward or even hurt/damage the wound.

Trust me, you and your gains will be fine.

Oh and btw, as some user mentioned, enjoy sitting while you can. It will NEVER be the same.

>tfw been out for 3 months because of infection
hating life right now

Sounds like by "fall" you mean your arm gave out

If that's the case it might be wise to take a break, since it's either a definite 2 weeks off or a possible injury that'll prevent you from lifting for ages

Wow sounds a bit like my elbow problem.
>2weeks ago
>doing db incline bench
>on rep 8 left arm "paralyses" for a second mid rep
>DB drops
>elbow feels like its being stabbed with a hot knife
>can't do any chest press type of excersize without pain in my left elbow while pushing high

It only hurts when i almost extend my arms, normal movements etc are perfectly fine.
Wat do?

meme designed to take your money here aka physio.

It (almost) doesn't fucking matter what kind of structural damage you've done to your wrist, the rehabilitation process will look more or less the same regardless.
If by injection you mean a cortisone shot all it does is kill the inflammation, allowing you to rehab properly without pain stopping you. If you do nothing but rest, there's a good chance you'll be dealing with the same problem again the moment you return to lifting.
Straight up resting is almost never the solution.

Also go kick that surgeon in the nuts for recommending an apparantly expensive MRI for no real reason.

But yeah, there are a lot of shitty physios out there. I wouldn't trust half of the people I studied with to handle the simplest shit.

dislocated kneecap doing wrestling

I felt a twinge in my left tricep yesterday. Light weight told me something felt off.

Feels fine today and I want to go back to the gym. What should I be looking out for? I don't want to fuck myself up here, my gains be rollin in.

Stop fucking whining. Muscle recuperation after an injury is quick. Feel blessed that you aren't chronically injured like me and have to either not lift or work around it. Pic related, it's me.

>boo hoo I have the worst injuries of all be thankful you're not me and stop whining
How about you go fuck yourself?

You think so? That’s what I was worried about but I don’t see how it could get worse, or just stagnate and never allow me to go all out on bench ever again. Uncle said it was a deltoid strain.

I made this thread so we could all share similar stories/experiences and help each other out, it wasn't meant to be a dick swinging contest for who has the biggest injury mate. Get over yourself.

Well if it is your delts and you're set out on not resting, just make sure you're isolating your chest more on light weight so your delts don't take too much strain

And that's why I'm lifting

Had this when I was 13 and it came back and had to get it done again when I was 16. You won't be exercising for a long time brah. It's gonna be all upper body and nothing you have to sit for.

Bumped my elbow into a gym locker lightly a month ago. Pinky started going numb when I was benching like 15 minutes later. My pinky has been either less or more numb depending on the day for a month now. Gonna finally ice/heat every day and wrap it in a towel so I don't move my elbow. I tend to sleep with my head on my elbow to so it's going to suck. Hopefully I don't have nerve damage already

I fell 12 feet (14 if you include legs being taken out from under me) onto concrete and landed on my back and elbow.

Didn't hurt my back at all (that's why you work your back out I guess), but my elbow still hurts and I fractured my wrist. There's apparently little flakes in there and the doctor said my ligaments and tendons are probably torn. I'm going to see a specialist today. Got misdiagnosed when it happened and apparently only sprained it.

I've been doing a lot of leg work and just figured out a way to work my shoulder pretty good with bands. So I'm going to do that with one arm while continuing to only do db movements with the other and see if I get any weird growth.

Never cut warm-up time. Never.

Started lifting a few weeks ago, and every time I try bench pressing my elbow hurts like hell. Pretty sure it's my ulnar nerve getting pinched. Doctor just told me to wait and see if it improves. Any ideas for chest work I can do in the meantime?

The only reason I’m set out on not resting is I have full range of motion and it’s only in a specific scenario that I feel pain at this point, it seems that if I can do lifts without incurring any pain I don’t know why I should stop. And yeah that’s what I tried to do last lift, seemed to go well, thanks for the advice.

I'll swing my dick at this guy

And that's just the shit that plagues me all the time. Occasionally I'll have fucked elbows and shoulders too.

Still going strong!

Depends on your actual issue, but oftentimes elbow pain when bench pressing can be helped by:

A) Get a huge biceps pump. Seriously. Do sets of 50+ reps to get as much fluid in around the joint as possible.

B) Use exercise variations that don't lock your hands into place e.g. DB work, ring push-ups. No barbell for a while.

wat do?

You made this thread to whine about a non-issue. Take your own advice, faggot. You're clearly so insecure you completely missed the point of my post.
Another brainless retard who's projecting his own insecurities onto others.
Good. Whole point of my post was to contrast OP's whining about literally nothing.

Posted in the running thread:
"I get a stinging pain behind my knee when I run. It starts off like a nettle-sting sort of pain then goes away as I run more. Behind the knee is a bit stiff and kind of itches when I've been sat for a while or in the mornings. I've tried taking time out, even up to a year at one point to try to get this to go away and every time I start back, even it it's from the beginning again it reoccurs. Any ideas what it is/how to fix it or should I just go to a sports therapist?

Usually run about 30km a week. Had a few weeks where I dropped it right down recently and it's not made any difference. 77kg at 178cm if that makes any difference."

Any ideas?

He's crippled because he did powerlifting a nd equipped in addition to motorcycle and horse riding accidents. Cuck.

Holy shet user i can do the same, i can dislocate my left shoulder but not my right. Should i be worried?

Just an idea but my brother used to have pain that would last for days from walking/working for hours. Turned out all he needed to do was get orthopedic shoes (His feet are structured weirdly but not noticeably). No pain at all anymore. You should check into it

>Barge into my thread completely abandoning the topic
>Telling me I missed the point

Fuck off idiot. You’re honestly too full of yourself, make yourself useful and give some people advice instead of calling them bitches.

had to run the circuit of stupid doctors and physical therapy e-stim Bengay voodoo. Have had 3 shoulder surgeries. Pain is still in the exact same place in the exact same way. It's been 6 years.

impingement in my shoulder after my first time doing murph (1 mi run, 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, 300 air squats, 1 mi run)

Took it easy for two weeks and I was fine. Never really had an issue besides that, 3 years crossfit.

I thought I had one of these and I went in to get it checked out. One butthole fondling later and I found out my tailbone isn’t attached to the rest of my skeleton. Apparently I broke it a while ago but I used to be fat so I couldn’t even tell. I’ll take it over a cyst any day though.

IT WAS JUST A FUCKING SCRATCH

Share with us those stretches user. Let us learn from your mistakes plz

Sure, you just need an empty corner.

Walk up to it, get into a lunge with one foot in the corner, and put both forearms on the wall like you're doin a double biceps pose. In terms of height, have your elbows a couple inches below your shoulders. Ok, now, keep your back straight, and slowly move your entire torse forward, so that it pulls your elbows back. Move back into starting position, and do this for maybe 15-20 reps.

The other one is actually really well demonstrated in a Jeff Cavaliere video for chest stretches, and it's way harder to describe. Just Google "Jeff Cavaliere chest stretches", and it's the one for pec minor that he does in the video.

Stretched my tendon in my wrist (I Think) while trying to bench 50kg without a spotter while cutting (dyel). It's been about 4 weeks so far, i'm getting back into working out with the use of a wrist strap + sports tape but it still hurts at certain movements. Honestly don't know what the fuck is wrong with it because I'm able to DL 100kg, yet can't lateral raise 5kg without it erupting into pain.

I apply heat to it every now and then, that seems to help. Straps help minimally in pain, but definitely take the strain off of the join. At this point, i'm just working through the pain hoping that it heals properly.

jesus what is it about these overly loose faggot tanktops that attract dyels so much?

Same guy. Apparently a piece of bone is just dislodged or some shit. I don't know how that's going to heal.

Nurse was pretty though. Been trying to find FB to creep on it

All from playing Rugby:

>torn/hyper extended rotator cuff
I could only muster an arm tackle on a back that sidestepped me

>Mild bulging disk
scrum collapsed, so neck and back rounded

>Hyper extended wrist
Made a tackle but guy and me landed on it

I feel you fampai, lower back injuries take forever to properly heal.

I hurt my lower back trying lmao3pl8 diddly for 5 back in august. Gave it a week's rest and it felt better, but it seemed to reaggravate every time I deadlifted again. I've stopped doing diddly for a bit now, but still do low bar squat and back feels great again, but I'll probably stay away from diddlies for a couple more months.

I tore a muscle in my chest and turned completely purple for weeks and now I'm crippled and can barely move and have lost all my gains and am considering suicide

I am sure Im going to get arthritis one day but fuck what can i do.

>De Quervain's tenosynovitis
Wrong side for the pain. It's on the side where there's a lump (Ulna). Thank you for the help though, i appreciate it.

>diddlies
>easy weight, 3pl8
>oh shit son
>bulging disk in lumbar
>been 2 months still healing

never gonna deadlift again. fuck that

I'm supprised a chiro really helped

>Being this mad at apparel

One of mr steal your girls victims?

same thing happened to me, working my way up through babyweight while squatting more than i ever have before. it feels wrong loading less to deadlift

Sometimes life just fucks you over so hard.
I mean I am upset at my lower back for giving me shit for deadlifting, I can still do literally every other exercise and I love squats, sometimes you don't appreciate health like you should

Sounds like a ligament thing. I would say just lay off anything that makes you feel discomfort beyond a normal level, I have a disk waiting to bulge on me and I hoped it would go away after a while and that deadlifts were an option but I came to the realization that snap city is not something you usually are surprised by, it comes creeping up on you and you see it but you don't run away but instead approach it, like the idiots in horror flicks who go toward that weird alien life form that just looks like it will fuck you up.
Stay safe and just avoid stuff that you know will make it worse, trust me, you will be able to tell.

>Full recovery
I always hate these words because it implies that you're able to properly walk without pain again, not be able to put strain on your body like you need to when working out

My niggas
Exactly my story and a pretty big dent in my enjoyment of lifting ,realising you're not made of invincible feels like shit.
My back is still more or less ok, my disks aren't slipped or something, but L5/S1 ist giving me worries,doctors said that it's very minor and it could lead to hernia if I put the same kind of strain on it that probably started it all:deadlifting 3 times a week and increasing my weights too quickly while only going for Max efforts pretty much every week

I know I'm late to the thread but I've had this as a recurring problem for years and finally decided I'd rather get it gone once and for all, got a consultation booked for November. user if you see this post please let me know how it goes and also what the scarring is expected to be like. Last time it happened the cyst popped during a nap and I woke up with underwear full of blood, pretty fucking tired of it.

fug

if you get injured, rest and rehab properly you fucks, or risk developing arthritis before you're 30 (like me)

Very worried about this desu. I'm not lifting super heavy weight on DL yet but I think i've been loose with my form a while now and just waiting on something to happen.

It's funny because he can't steal any women

Haha :^D

I just posted this in some other thread. But I'll post it again here.

Bankhart procedure, open incision. At 19 years old
Genetically inherited osteoarthritis and tendonitis. I'm pretty injury prone. It sucks

Jesus fucking christ dude

So my lower back is kinda achy and pain, and my feet, only my feet feels kinda numb.

D-do I have herniated disc? I seen a doctor a bout this before and he told me it was muscle sprain. It went away after a few weeks, but recently it came back again.

You look really good before just saying

Y'all are a bunch of little faggot pussies

theres alot of stuff that can cause this, sprained ligaments in your back, a bulging disc that is pressing on your nerves in your back

the fact that your feet are numb is kind of concerning but not horrible, i would definitely see a doctor

daily reminder to strengthen you core if you want to avoid lower back injury

Yeah I told the numbing to my doctor, he wasn't concerned about it. He told me that it's probably no slipped disk because there was no major pain. He had me bend down and poke me in the lower back, and there was no pain at all.

It's not really numb, more like prickling. I can still feel it.

Now i cant use my right arm for a couple of months and my shoulder is loose, 90% chance of dislocating again. Every dislocation will further loosen shoulder.
I'm so mad right now. I shouldn't have ignored the bears.
Do I continue my cut? I cant workout upper body at all. Also, i don't want to baby my shoulder for the rest of my life. Any other dislocation anons? Do you still do pull ups and bench press? Did it happen again? Any advice is greatly welcomed.

Personally, I would say get back on maintenance or maybe a small cal surplus and stretch every day. Don't work it out for a few months, maybe a year.

Listen to whatever your doc says though. They'd know better.

>Still a fucking idiot, at this point I'm thinking physio is a meme designed to take all your money
absolutely wrong. you either couldn't be helped through therapy or you half-assed your exercises.
also, physical/occupational therapists are definitely smarter than you

This was 2 months ago, now when I bench I start at really low weight and work my way up to avoid injury. I'd say getting injured help me with my form and learn the lesson not to overdue it because the 1.5 months I couldn't lift really sucked.
