Forum: Injury Recovery And Prevention

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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”...

I've been recovering from golfer's elbow on both of my elbows for the past few weeks. I think I'm 90% recovered and started using some weight during my rehab exercises. My rehab consists of massaging the area for 30 sec then doing three sets of 10 for arm curls and three sets of 10 for hammer...
