Forum: Injury Recovery And Prevention

Lately, when I bend backward, like for a full bridge, or the cow pose of cat-cow, I get a sharp pain in the middle of my spine. Not really lower or upper back, but right in the middle. I've recently started doing core work (hollow holds, jack-knifes, Russian twists, sit-ups, etc.) and I'm wondering...

I wanted to follow up on a thread I made here a few weeks ago under another account but it's gone. And I can't remember my old account. Anyway I hurt my lower back doing squats (I mistakenly thought it was weighted leg raises) and it didn't prevent me from squatting but it did prevent me from...

14 months ago I was decline bench pressing 285 pounds (a lot for me considering I weigh only 170), and on my third repetition I felt a sharp pain in my left armpit which prevented me from pushing the bar up anymore. It was pretty painful for a couple of days, but it eventually subsided. After...

I can no longer hold a barbell with my wrist position in the position it needs to be in order to do bench presses. After X-rays I was told that I have a torn Scapholunate ligament in my left wrist. (I assume that an injury incurred when I hit a heavy bag over 20 years ago has caught up to me). Can...

Hello, I've had this aching left shoulder pain radiating from my shoulder blades to my forearms for a month now. It started as an achy pain (no sharp pain or pain during the exercise) and I couldn't pinpoint where it actually originates but it's inside my shoulder. I've also noticed my bicep is...

It's really difficult to find a consensus on whether one should rest their rotator cuff when it's inflamed and especially for how long. I guess it's sensible to rest for at least 5 days until the inflammation has gone down, but for how long should one really keep rotator cuff activity to a minimum?...

This post is a summary of everything I did to fix my internal snapping hip syndrome. I'm just leaving it here in case anyone searches for the same issue. I had a lot of trouble finding successful case stories when I was looking for options to fix this. Fixing My Internal Snapping Hip Syndrome...

I recently found out about his youtube channel and it is mostly about joint health, joint mobility and athleticism He has some exercises where he increases the strength (progressively) at the end range of the motion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYJenidorKQ zYJenidorKQ o0FwSWd2_IY ...

It feels somewhere between my lower trap and teres major/lat, left side. I can’t get in to see a physical therapist until next week, so I’m wondering if there’s anything I can do for myself in the meantime. I get a sharp pain after doing most exercises, obviously particularly any pulling (somehow...

Recently got back into working out. I'm always fit and strong but anyways. I think I pulled a muscle in my back. First it hurt in my back then it hurt for sure on the front top of my peck now it's back to being sore in my back. It's been about 10 days. Did some light pull ups yesterday and went to...

Hello all. I have a sharp pain in my forearm for almost 1 year (right in the middle of the forearm on the ulnar side) when i train my biceps and back with supinated and pronated grip. It occurs only when i curl and i train my back. Neutral grip works wonderful, no pain, i can really go heavy. I...

So I still have shoulder pain that developed a few weeks ago from an incident. I saw the doctor and he gave me shoulder exercises. I went back and saw him again and he said I improved and that I can return to normal activities. I did tell him my shoulder still hurts when I raise my arm or when I...
