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…
And they’re PISSED
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.
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.
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?
Davey Johnson’s Locker?
new fear unlocked
😰 Oh dear, I know it’s going to happen now 😓
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.
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
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 once sneezed hard and somehow had my hair caught in my armpit, hurting my neck
Thanks, that made me laugh
I drank water too hard.
Untag me, please.
Yep, tore my meniscus in my knee a month ago shifting my weight standing still in my kitchen
I tore mine around age fifteen. I was kneeling in a garden helping a senior lady garden. Felt a weird pop when standing up. Didn’t even realize anything was particularly wrong until my knee stopped supporting me later in the day.
I am currently lying down, not because I prefer the floor, my because I lay down to stretch a bit, and my back has now completely locked up. I’m not joking: I physically cannot get up, and a doctor is on the way. I’m not even 30 yet…
I’m sat with an ice pack on my knee so I totally gey it
I would have thought the best aquaman would be more flexible…
I’m out of my element, on dry land. Once the doctor gets here I’ll just have them waterboard me for a couple minutes and I should be ok
Glad to hear you have a reputable spinal sturgeon and not some silly jellyfish selling snake oil.
*sea snake oil
I need an update. Did you make it off the floor?
Made it off the floor and over to the sofa (with help). The doctor told me the issue was likely muscular (not directly caused by a prolapse in my back that I’m getting look ed at for). He gave me a bunch of painkillers and basically told me to munch those and move as much as possible, and it should hopefully loosen up In a couple of days.
I’m honestly glad to hear you’re alright.
Thanks :) the seas will soon be safe again!
I went jogging, misstepped and then had back pains for the next 3 weeks. I walked like Quasimodo the first couple of days.
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)
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.
Sneezed on the toilet once with my head turned. Neck was frozen for like a week after that one lol.
But I’m very tall. I managed to throw my back out by pushing in an empty dining room chair that even had felt on the bottom of the legs sliding over linoleum. That was last year, luckily no repeats. I don’t fear my dining room yet.
Last month my neck didn’t work. Pulled something while sleeping.
42, I’ve thrown my back out lifting the toilet seat.
36, laundry basket
At 30, dried my hair too hard with a towel. Pulled my neck
36 now. I don’t remember my exact age at the time, but at approximately eighteen I dislocated my shoulder turning over in bed.
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
