Forum: Injury Recovery And Prevention

I'm curious to know if you have an injury that won't go away through rest or working out at what point is it okay to continue an exercise that causes you to feel your injury while doing it? I have a few injuries that I will receive physical therapy for. I'm more interested in know your views on...

Hey, 6 months ago I messed up my back in a deadlift motion/rounded back scenario, stopped and iced it and later that night my back seized up completely and I've been in pain ever since... Sitting causes the most severe pain, or standing in a stationary place for long periods of time....

It started about more than a year and a half ago from benching where I ALWAYS used to go too hard and too deep on the bench and just about every exercise. I now have a rotator cuff injury that hurts when I do pushups. I haven't benched in a long while since I took a 9 month hiatus this year and I...

I'm trying to figure out if what's going on in me is a serious problem or not. I'm going to the doctor but it has to wait until Monday (Tuesday maybe? because of the holiday). Anyway I can tell whatever is wrong isn't serious right now, but I'd rather deal with it before things get bad. I've...

**** this ****, been gaining **** loa o strenght and size and then this... Injured my shoulder doing 1 rep max bench, didn't feel to bad to finish thr workout, pull ups also made it hurt and front raises. This is my second day of rest, ifeel discomfort/slight pain moving it around and pain when...

Alright guys, well I have in the past injured both of my rotator cuffs, my right being the worst of the two. I never went to a doctor or had surgery, and I was able to strengthen it/them with weighted arm swings and laying off the heavy weights in bench at the time. I was doing a fine when I...

It started about 2 years ago when i hurt my wrist bench pressing, i was maxing out and i guess i bent my wrist too far back. Im thinking since my right hand is naturally stronger thats were all the weight went toward. Its only my right wrist in pain, I had an MRI and an X-Ray done, which showed...

I've been through 2 TFCC tears (in left and right wrist) because I have a positive ulnar variance. I am looking for info on how to maintain weight lifting without injury or reduction. I just ordered a pair of wrist wraps and really hope that they solve the problem of these injury's. I was hoping to...

So I have shoulder instability and my shoulder sockets (both left and right) and constantly being pulled forward and out of the socket. Whenever I visit my chiropractor or a physiotherapist he/she will push my sockets back into position. I am trying to do exercises to strengthen my scapulas and...

8 weeks ago i experieced a minor lower back strain (diagnosed by a doctor) from an unknown reason. The pain appeared on a squat warmup. After 20 days off the gym, went back at training excluding all exercises that put stress on the lower back (weights on shoulders and above). Gradually...

Hello, I have a shoulder issue and have no idea what is causing this pain, if you can't be bothered reading all of the text, read "The Issue" bit and skip to the end, please help if you can, thanks. The Issue I've had pain in both shoulders for around 2 years when doing any chest exercise and...

So deadlifting 2 weeks ago, I seemed to strain a muscle along the side of my neck. It seemed like it was one of those that runs kind of along that tendon/ligament that connects to the end of the collar bone (sorry not much anatomy knowledge here), so kind of just outside the carotid artery for...

I was box squatting today..tap and go, not full sit down. I was working up in weight and as I was coming up I felt a pop in my hip/adductor area, more towards the inside. Not sure if it's hip flexor or adductor. I had safety pins there set so I just set the wait down and stopped squatting. It hurt...

Curious if anyone has had a similar injury. About a month ago I went to pee in the middle of the night and I think I must have exerted a little too much when finishing as I felt a pop and instantly the area around my belly button was really sore/painful. Went to the GP the next day as it was really...

So today i had lower back pain. Not soreness. This has happened before so now i'm worried. So if I do a couple certain movements with my lower back, it hurts. It feels like a cramp since i feel it in the erector spinae rather than the spine. Can anyone relate and tell me if this is early signs of...

In January I felt a sharp, stabbing pain in my upper back right below my shoulder. The pain went from there to my shoulder, down to my arm, all the way to my finger tips. At first I thought it would go away in time but it didn't. In February I went to a chiropractor who said I had a pinched nerved...

Going to doc tomorrow to try and get an MRI-A. I've had Endless physical therapy for BOTH shoulders for rotator cuff weakness and scapula instability and this has not helped whatsoever, and I've been tested for thoracic immobility, shoulder impingement and the range of movement and all come back...

Started training roughly 3 years ago and had no injuries or signs of injuries for a roughly 2 and a half years of that time. Roughly about 6 months ago I started getting a pain in my left shoulder when incline pressing. it was like dull ake pain/ burning. it was always worse the next day. I...
