My worst mountain biking injury was because I looked down at my back tire and pulled the SHIT out of a muscle in my upper back.
And I used to crash a lot. The muscle pull was worse
Hope I die peacefully in my sleep like my grandad.
Not screaming like the passengers in his car.
Ya’ll need to add ”walk an hour”, “eat a salad”, and “do calisthenics” to your daily routines.
And never stop doing it. One lapse or moment of weakness and bamm… back to the physio.
Constant vigilance 🙃
If by “one lapse” you mean “stop doing it for like a year”…
But yes I did that second part obviously
Not true at all wtf. If lapse is like a year sure
You’re quite right! The body thankfully does have some margin before it all goes downhill. I was exaggerating a tad to emphasize the vigilance aspect.
Although I do have older aunts and uncles who do need this level of high bodily maintenance.
(Not sure on your stance on Mr C.K but this bit lives rent free in my head on this topic Soz, couldn’t find a better link)
Born in the 70s. I’ve sat on my balls twice so far this year. That’s never happened before, I used to just laugh at the idea 😓
Wait until a loose toilet seat at a public bathroom slides to the side, and with all the motion, they get pinched between the seat and the porcelain.
new fear unlocked
😰 Oh dear, I know it’s going to happen now 😓
I’ve heard of Poseidon’s kiss but this is a new lvl of danger I’ve never heard of. Thx for the new toilet fear.
Poseidon’s pinch?
Kind of a tangent, but when I was younger I used to accidentally kick myself in the balls by sitting cross legged too quickly and hitting with my heel.
I’ve had light vertigo for 2 months because I sat up too fast in bed. It’s fucking horrible.
I stumbled a few months back stepping over a rope that was about fifteen centimeters off the ground and cracked a rib or something. I didn’t even fall, just kinda leaned forward the wrong way a bit. Pain for weeks.
Something similar happened to my husband! Threw his back out by slipping and not falling on ice 😂
Maybe we should be trying less hard to not hurt ourselves. 😝
Or try harder.
Go full bubble boy.
TBF I’ve been choking on water since I was a wee lad. I just drink too aggressively. A drinking problem, of sorts.
Drinking too hard is when you accidentally swallow too much at the same time, painfully forcing it down. I fainted once by doing this…
ohhh right. I do that, too. But not to the fainting level of effort.
You’ll get there with no effort, just give it time
Tap on the back
Had a bag at the head of my bed, woke up, still laying down, reached over my head to grab something out of it, went to pull back “down” and tore my rotator cuff. I was 20.
If you’ve never sneezed and thrown your back out, count your blessings.
A few months ago, I pinched a nerve in my neck because I picked up a shampoo bottle wrong.
I’ve swallowed water the wrong way and had coughing fit that cramped my gouche.
I hope it never happens again, but I’m sure instances like that will increase.
Happens to me, when I’m too lazy to really sit up in bed, when I want a sip of water during a short wake up
The cramping is hell…
Remember all those injuries you brushed off when you were a kid? They’re baaaack…
Crying in Ehlers-Danlos. I was too bendy for my own good, and now I’m none bendy, left pain. All that is left is pain.
And they’re PISSED
Nothing like sneezing so hard you get a crick in your neck for a week. 44.
Ffffffff
Fart while sneezing also hurts. Feels like something ripping.
You ever have a sneeze you feel in your arms for about an hour? Like you sneeze, your blood pressure hits 9000 PSI for 8.2 milliseconds and your ghost aches for awhile?
Yes!
Can’t say I have - but that’s a very vivid description!
Nope, can’t say that I have. You should get that checked out.
Sneezing is one of the top ways people throw out their backs.
After having my back go out twice from sneezing, I asked my doctor about it. He told me this life changing tip which so far (6 yrs) has never failed. When you feel a sneeze coming on, pull your shoulder blades back and look directly up, you can sneeze as hard as you want in this position and you will be fine. In my experience just the looking up is usually enough to protect the back, the pulled back shoulder blades is just an added layer of protection.
I drank water too hard.
Untag me, please.
In my 20s I once threw my back out pressing an elevator button.
I think you just won the thread
I just threw my back out by reading his post
I’ve had the drink water too hard thing since forever - take a super big gulp, feels like it’s trying to blow your esophagus apart all the way down.
I once sneezed hard and somehow had my hair caught in my armpit, hurting my neck
Thanks, that made me laugh
