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.
TBF I’ve been choking on water since I was a wee lad. I just drink too aggressively. A drinking problem, of sorts.
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.
Nothing like sneezing so hard you get a crick in your neck for a week. 44.
Ffffffff
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.
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 😓
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.
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.
😰 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.
I once sneezed hard and somehow had my hair caught in my armpit, hurting my neck
Thanks, that made me laugh
In my 20s I once threw my back out pressing an elevator button.
I think you just won the thread
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.
this thread is giving me an urge to exercise and eat salad
I ate a salad wrong last month, stabbed my self in the soft pallet with a lettuce steam and had a sore throat for 2 weeks.
But instead I’ll probably sit on my ass and have pizza tonight.
I mean, it’s Sunday.
we will get started on monday (i swear)
Exactly, the first Monday that has an “R” in it.
I sustained a stress fracture of the fifth metatarsal completely at random last year. No trauma, no accidents, nothing. Went on a five-day drive and returned to go to work. A week later my foot started hurting really bad. I kept working on it and eventually saw a doctor. Misdiagnosed as plantar fasciitis, and continued to work on it with insoles. After a while I had to get an air boot. Before long it was x-rayed and turned out to be a stress fracture with no apparent origin.
The six month healing process was absolute fucking garbage and I would never do it again. Having nearly two months off of work was nice enough, but I couldn’t do much other than lay around elevating my foot. If I tried to get in my computer the pain in my foot would increase tenfold. Crutches to get around anywhere. Showered by laying spread eagle on the floor of the tub, blasting out my asshole with the shower head. Mornings were excruciating as the blood rushed to the fracture site and caused my foot to swell up big and purple. Genuinely the worst injury I’ve ever had to heal from. I never thought it would get better. I truly thought this was the new normal. You’d think a small stress fracture would be minor. Still hurts here and there but I’m about seven months out and doing a lot better than before.
Have to assume I’m just getting old, I guess.
Probably just an alien foot implant - the injector slips sometimes.
Jfc, I’m still dealing with a muscle I pulled turning over in bed. In November of last year.
Sneezed on the toilet once with my head turned. Neck was frozen for like a week after that one lol.
I woke up from a good sleep last year, got up refreshed and ready for work. First time in years that it happened. Stood up and did a big yawn and stretch, then felt a sharp ripping feeling in my back. I tore a muscle stretching. I was 29 and it still wants to lock up today.
Bonus; tore it a year before almost to the day by literally just rolling over in bed. I felt it happen, said “aw fuck” and went back to sleep. Road trip to Maine and Martha’s Vineyard cancelled because the pain was too intense to drive.
I went jogging, misstepped and then had back pains for the next 3 weeks. I walked like Quasimodo the first couple of days.
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
