Forum: Injury Recovery And Prevention

About 7 weeks ago, i was lifting for the first time in a long time. No injury that day or the next day. 2 days later, out of nowhere when I woke up, I couldn't pick up a tooth brush past a few inches, and had lots of pain and swelling. The only other thing I can think of that may have caused...

The other day I noticed my ring and little finger were tingling, like they were asleep. Later on my elbow made a popping sound, and it felt like I hit my funny bone. I'll be seeing a doctor tomorrow, but from what I've heard and read it sounds like I have cubital tunnel syndrome. If anyone has had...

Hello, BB.com so today at the gym I was doing incline dumbbell presses, 70lbs. I do this exercise often enough to know how to do it properly... or so I thought. I was trying to keep my shoulders down and back during the entire duration of the exercise, but on my third set as I was coming up I...

It has now been 10 days since I got off of the operating table for my umbilical hernia. It didn't cause me too much pain to begin with and was only sensitive to the touch. Then after doing heavy lifts (deadlift among them) one day after I got back from the gym I noticed that I was bleeding from my...

Before I ask the question let me give some details: 1) I had a prior muscle imbalance where the teardrop muscle on my left quad was too weak causing my kneecap to come unbalanced. I fixed this or so I thought till I realized the rest. 2) When I stand my natural foot position isn't | | it's \...

Hi all, I broke my wrist in July 2020 and at the time despite a lot of pain and being unable to do a push up, I brushed it off as being a bad sprain. However, in September I got it scanned and discovered that I had a scaphoid fracture. Since then I subsequently underwent surgery whereby a screw...

A lot of people have probably dealt with muscle knots before. To get rid of muscle knots the advice usually is to foam roll it and see a physio and/or chiro. While that is of course good, we hardly ever hear about whether it's a good or a bad idea to workout despite having muscle knots. I tend to...

In injured my AC joint a few months back due to a fall off a staircase. My doctor cleared me to workout but anything overhead still hurts(**), so I'm looking for some substitutions. I workout at home due to the closing of gyms in Belgium and have some adjustable dumbbells (fairly heavy) and a...

So on Thanksgiving I was messing around throwing a football with friends, and I hurt my shoulder trying to throw too hard. I am guessing it was something in/near the rotator cuff, but I am not sure. Most likely a strain of some muscle in that area. The next time I benched a couple days later, I...

as titile says.. about 2 months now, driving me nuts. If I wlll do this 2-3 times straight pain will start. I have been not training this whole time besides doing rehab for my shoulder injury (rc, supraspinatus)... Youtube makes me think it's a golfer's elbow, but I dont know about the...

So, I've always had slight pain, when squatting heavy. 2 years ago I overdid it and I had an injury, my everyday life did not change at all, but I could not squat weighted for 6 months. Since then, I have been building up back my squat, I do proper stretching after squatting and mobillity work...

Hello everyone, I had an MRI yesterday C5-6 central stenosis C6-7 severe right and moderate left foraminal stenosis! I have zero strength on any pushing exercises, my right tricep is not firing at all and now my right pec muscle is atrophied. My wife told me when we were getting ready for...

Almost a month ago, getting back to the gym after 3-4 months of not training I experienced a weird "injury" in my knee that I wasn't able to diagnose. I believe it happened from too much stress on the knee, including a lot of walking, standing, stair climbing, cycling and heavy workouts. What...

I'm 6'3" 275lbs and 44 years old. I was heavily into weights, football, and kickboxing in my 20's. At peak I was 295lbs 10% bodyfat. I've been in and out of the gym over the last 10-12 years or so but I've over time ended up at around 36% bodyfat at my most out of shape (which I guess was a...

I finally got an arthrogram of my shoulder as a follow-up to an MRI I got back in May, and discovered the following: 1. “large, very high grade partial-thickness tear of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus tendons” 2. “chronic Hills-Sachs defect” and “probable old Reverse-Hills-Sachs defect”...
