injuries

[AngryMuscles]

Most of us or all of us are weightlifters and as we journey this uber LONGCAT long road, it is inevitable that we encounter injuries whether minor, major or career ending. So I'm wondering, what has been your injuries in this road?

thanks!

Two really bad shoulders. I cant do BB incline at all without it feeling like bones are rubbing against other bones.

I can however do DB incline with palms up, its a little nicer on the shoulders.

Oh man i just rememberd i saw a guy "kid" doing DB bench at the gym the otherday and drop about an 80lbs DB on his face, but heres the kicker he had a spoter!

i would have been pissed.

the kid was ok BTW.

three knee scopes, distal femeral osteotomy w/ micro fracture, and hardware removal all on my right knee five surgeries in all, I have 0 cartilate on the lateral side of my right knee. Before my major surgery I was about 250 after 2months of no walking, my body was decimated and I was a mere 230lbs. ITs been a long painful journey especially the last two years when my knee got real bad. After games in '04 I couldn't run again until tuesday after rehab and lots of PKs. I've had my fair share of cortizone shots too. I love it to bad its nasty stuff. After taking the '05 season off I'm back and now I'm 270lbs, stronger and faster than I've ever been, I can't wait to play my senior year of ball its been a long road, it'll be my sixth season with my team, I'm the old fart now.

both knee pains(occasionally) I think I got this from the tons of partial squats I've been doing back before.
a nerve pinch on the upper right side back due to incline. was tucking shoulders in when it just pinched and painful as fuck
right ear pain. this is funny...it's like what headmeat said..had dumbbells falling all over my head while doing flat presses with them. luckily it didn't hit my face. this was back then.
bb dropped on my left collar bone..now it frequently pops and annoys

Pinched a nerve in my neck/shoulder (left side). I wasn't able to lift 10lbs with by left arm. I was out for about 3 months. Now I have Carpel Tunnel Syndrum and I have been out for 4 months. I just started wearing a splint so hopefully it gets better soon.

had this bad hip injury, somekind of internal pull it was. Sims like i woke up with it. i thought it was my apendix . Well doctor said it's not(screw doctors by the way). Well anyway i couldn't do any leg exercises., i still can't because i'm scared i 'm gona get into that suffering. It took 4 years to go away, but still i'm too scared doing leg workouts(so there u go). Hell i remember i even tried doing spiritual healing ,read this satanic book called "Necromancy" and drew me this symbol and ligthed me candles, then started reading in this old language(Mesopotamian). Well anyway, dont know if it did help me, but over time it healed to where i could train my upper body ., so i guess i am happy with that. Oh yeah it could be gas doctor said.

whoa dude...that's ..... ask satan if he deads...

honestly, I never heard of such. I mean the necromancy book. I do know them from the card game, magic: the gathering. Anyways, so what happened to your ritual??? did satan talked to you or something? does he deads too??
