I'm trying to get surgery. No amount of stretching or pills is going to fix this. Gabapentin and Dicolfenac are barely keeping me sane.

Ari?

>>35188538

Also,

Sheldon is that you lol?

Epididymitis from deadlifts on a full bladder. Went to the ER with nuts on fire and got a qtip in the penor. Remember to pee before you deadlift kiddies.

>>35188574

nope

>>35188533

Impingement?

>>35188568
I would use surgery as a last resort, I know the constant pain sucks but after they cut a piece out of you, you're never going to be the way you were before.

>>35188584
Nope, Andrew

>>35188603
Didn't see the waiting for surgery part. My brother has the same thing, he had a discectomy (where they shave the bulging parts of the disc down) took the leg pain from an 8/10 to 2/10 almost immediately. Took about 4 - 6 weeks of complete rest but doing better now.

>>35188507
I fucking hate when this happens.

>>35188621

I've been dealing with this for a little over a year now, I was doing really good a few months ago and didn't need to take any pills. But then I had a relapse so bad I seriously wanted to kill myself. I am finally stable again now, but I need to take my meds.

Also I can't sit, driving anywhere is unbearable no matter how many pain killers I take.

>>35188628

YES, that is exactly the procedure that I am trying to get. They doctor is hesitant because he is worried about scar tissue forming and making the sciatica permanent.

>>35188655
Shitty deal bro, I guess I was lucky enough to have most of my mobility back after a year, still can't sit upright with legs fully extended, touch toes, any kinda stuff like that but at least I can drive

Torn bicep tendon, torn LCL 4 times, torn PCL twice, herniated/ruptured cervical spine C5-C7.

>>35188680
Get a second and third opinion. My bro went to a few before finding his specialist. Everyone said he was the best for the procedure but most importantly the doctor didn't deny it. He was confident in his own work.

>>35188688

what are doing and what have you done for improvements?

I've done physio, got some stretches to open up my hips. Also acupuncture, which helped loosen up tight muscles.

My doctors refuse to send me to a chiropractor or give me epidural injections.

>>35188722

yeah, it kinda scares me that my doctor is unsure of himself.

Thanks for the info man, I really appreciate it.

>>35188715

jesus, how are you still alive?

>>35188775
np
FYI he also tried epidural injections first, but only got a few days relief.
Good luck.

>>35188756
I've been going to physio twice a week for the first three months, then a specialist once a week for two months and then just a bi-monthly check up with specialist. Physio stretches three times a day, when you wake up, when you get home, before you go to sleep. My back feels a lot better now but my hip also got fucked, so now I'm mostly working on that and stretching out my hamstrings while continuing work on my back.

Look into something called Somatics or Somatology. I could send you a bunch of the handouts I've been using for my exercises if you want as well.

I found that with physio I only felt better for maybe a few hours afterward but I swear by this stuff, literally got me off of painkillers in two months.

Don't have a link or imgur, I'll try to figure something out before this thread 404's

i dropped 225 lbs on my chest 2 weeks ago by accident after i was done benching , i walked it off and kept going to the gym , the pain started 4 days later when i was doing ohp , even after 3 weeks my ribs still hurt when i stretch of take a deep breath , and just when my bulk started :( , i dont think i broke my ribs since there are no change on the skin color or bruising , i hope the pain will go away so i can resume my training

>>35188492
worst injury is probably torn ACL which got reconstructed.
since then some pretty bad lower back spasms which i was certain were herniated disks, back pain so bad i couldnt stand up or get out of bed.
im certain it was from catbacking diddlylifts and not training abs/lower back.
once i tweaked my back squatting 110kg. felt bad.

Okay, a little more detail about the exercises

>>35189141
I usually warm up with this one, try and do this as relaxed as you can until your muscles kick in to complete the motion, even then try to do it with as little exertion as you can, it prevents your muscles from protectively clenching and allows you to really stretch your spine. Hearing pops is normal, don't worry.

>>35189158
This is more about pushing your knee as far away from your torso as you can, stretching the spine. make sure you breathe with every exercise and roll your head in the opposite direction of the arch or your back.

>>35189187
Pretty standard, it's about rotation in the hip and lengthening your side

>>35189207
I forgot about this one to be honest, gonna have to start throwing it into rotation again

>>35189216
Nothing to say about this

>>35189248

I feel your pain, albeit less since enough time has passed and my disc wasn't so badly injured. Now only occasionally feel discomfort.

Not to jinx it but-

Strained Hip Flexor - 6 Months to Heal

Strained Deep Shoulder muscle -
Wasn't a rotator cuff, think it was a deep muscle. Some days it felt like shoulder, other felt like pec minor, other days felt like top of the trap - 6-7 months heal time.

Strained Elbow flexor - 5 weeks into it and still no sign of improvement. Stretching daily.

>>35189194
Need stronger core brah. Plank like you've never planked before.

>>35188492
Herniated disc at L4-L5. Had surgery to repair it 5 years ago, it's pretty good these days, still doing exercises to strengthen my core and prevent it happening again. If any people here are having problems with herniated discs and feel like surgery is your only option look up the Wallis Implant, it's what I got. It's a spacer that will relieve the pressure and is completely reversible, it's a far more palatable option than fusion but I hardly ever see it brought up.

>>35189410
>knees sometimes feel yucky

Is your bed big enough? My left knee used to feel like shit all the time. I even had my doctor look at it, and he said there was nothing wrong.

Eventually while looking through the mobilityWOD stuff, I came across his sleeping tips, and he spent some time talking about whether or not your bed is the right size/hardness for you. Turns out my bed wasn't big enough, I got one, and my knee has been 100% since.

T condyle fracture?

I was doing a triple front flip on a large trampoline and didn't land the last one. Bent my knee way the fuck back. I haven't been able to run for 3 months because it feels like something is stabbing my knee cap on the inside

Setting up an appointment to get it scanned

None, knock on wood. I did fuck up my wrist in a car accident two years ago and couldn't even hold up a stack of folders for months. It was... humbling to say the least.

I got this numb spot on the skin of my back over my spine. Bout the size of a golf ball. I can feel pressure if I push on it, but can't feel anything on the skin itself.

Been meaning to get it looked at. Probably something leftover from when I was really fat and prone to back injuries.

tore my labrum from wrestling. got surgery and busted my ass to get jacked again. first match of senior year I tear it again in a freak accident.
still torn a year later... I was so jacked senior year and now I'm weak as shit :(

>>35188492
Completely tore a tendon in my wrist. Awaiting surgery.

In the past I've:
Rolled both ankles, different times, numerous occasions.
Pinched a nerve in my hand on an overhead press. Took a few weeks to heal. Pins/needles/numbness on thumb fore and middle fingers and up my forearm to the elbow.
Mild MCL tear when a dude fell on my leg from the side at a concert. Was fine til I got home. Next morning my knee was massive and I couldn't bend it. Trying to walk the joint felt loose. Took about 2 months of PT to fix. No surgery.
Almost fucked my back up on a squat when was still doing crossfit. Still not sure what happened it was only about 225, pre class warm up, but I got a knife pain in the middle of my back and let the weight drop.

Wow, you guys make me feel lucky.
My lower back, particularly the left side always usually has a dull pain, it comes a goes. Nothing that inhibits me just starts bothering me after sitting down for too long in the same position(long drives/lectures).
I think it's from the manual labor I've done the past few summers. Lots of throwing shovels and lifting.
Other than that I fucked my bicep head up at the beginning of this past summer. Hurt to squat/pullup/ohp. Finally that got better.
Not really an injury but this past year I've had to sit out for weeks from lifting due to wisdom teeth, and getting super sick twice for over a week.
Most recently I tried to jump back into the gym after being sick and didn't warm up right and pulled a muscle in my knee w/ 135 squats.

I'm not even lifting that heavy or have had many injuries so I gotta be thankful.
Could always be a lot worse.

>tfw multiple friends my age athletic and not tear A/M/PCL's
>some have pins in their knees

Lower back pain that comes and goes at it's own will. Life is hell, can't even deadlift or squat, even machines hurts my back sometimes. I just don't get it. Fucking sucks.

Broke my left arm near the wrist and shoulder 5-ish years ago.

>Falling for the squats and deadlift troll

>IT Band Syndrome

A couple of years ago i got it for the first time due to too much football (soccer) practice on hard ground. Pain went from 'barely noticeable' to 'i can't walk anymore without tears in my eyes' an back for several years. I've gone to all kinds doctors with x-ray, mrt and everything... None of these idiots was able to find the reason for the pain i had.

Spring this year, when the pain came back once again, i had the opportunity to get a check up from the team-doc of a semi-professional football club from our area. Two or three days before my appointment i found a thread here on /fit/ about the 'IT Band Syndrome' where OPs description perfectly matched the problems i had for years.

I decided not to tell the doc anything about the things i read online and, as it turns out, he didn't even need anything: 5 Minutes in he said "Yep, looks like IT Band Syndrome" told me to get a pair of insoles made for my football, lifting and running shoes and showed me couple of stretching excercises to do.

I've been pain free ever since.

I really don't want to take time off but I probably should

>>35188492
I have this but i think its just a severe bulge. Docs say its time for surgery. The surgery is "cut out some of the bone and disc in your spine lol". They claim 90% success without complications, but in all the journals I've read success is defined as no pain in two years. There's very few studies that had follow-ups at five or even ten years. At the ten year horizon, success dropped to 30%.

Mfw i'm only 23 and dont want back surgery every ten years for the rest of my life.

>>35188646
as someone who gets whiplash semi-regularly from sports, I assure you the best prevention is to stretch your traps regularly.

SCIATIA BROS CHECK THIS OUT

okay so the blue thing is an inversion table called teeter-hang-ups. Name is dumb as fuck, but whatever. On the floor is a board to winch myself down to. I'm down to basically 0 pain (though I avoid sitting, bending, and lifting).

Here's what I do: hang on the table for 5 min, then do 3 sets of 15 pushups where my hipbones never leave the ground (with help from the winch). I do this every day 3x a day.

I have no life but i have no pain

Everytime I see "injury", "scars", or something similar on /fit/, I have to post.

Little trivia fact: Did you know, since there's still some shrapnel in my body, I'm bit magnetic on those parts? With titanium knee I have, that pretty much makes me a cyborg, what do you think?
And I'm not talking about big metal pieces, by the way, it's just small particles surgeons couldn't/didn't bother to pick up.

(Also, for people I promised badges: Still looking for them, but I'm afraid my ex took them, what a cunt. I'll continue looking nonetheless.)

Kept dislocating my shoulder, eventually it would pop out every month.

Got surgery and now I'm weak and useless as fuck and when I can start lifting in a month I'm going to be failing lifting the bar for most lifts.

Why even fucking bother anymore?

Didn't have a surgery, but got my shoulder dislocated as a teen.
It kept popping out, but now it happens rarely. I strengthened my shoulders and my arms quite a bit, and I think that's what helped me. Start with lower weights, until you get more strength in your arms. Gradually work your way up to no-popping zone.
Hope I helped at least a little bit. But I didn't have it that bad, if I'm being honest.
You should still get an advice from your doctor. Not from people on /fit/

>>35195765
go to physio, listen to them. don't be lazy with the corrective exercises they tell you to do. tell them you are a competitive weightlifter or something and they'll take you more seriously.

i can't say i'm familiar with what happened to you, but being weak on an anrea you have had surgery from is very common and usually very treatable. consider incorporating a lot of mobility work for it as i am assuming it is fairly inflexible now and look for ways to work it back to how it was before.

you can either throw in the towel or get back on the horse. yes, getting injured sucks a bag of dicks but it's not the end of your lifting career. many athletes have had multiple surgeries and still perform well, including many bodybuilders (coleman had many knee surgeries and yates learned to live with his shoulder injury).

be patient, keep your chin up, prepare for a hard time. but you can get through it.

>>35189410
>>35189463

My knees have been acting up the last couple months during/after squats. I'll check into my sleeping habits. I was also considering it was cold-weather related or something?

>>35195841
>You should still get an advice from your doctor. Not from people on /fit/

I did man. He said I can start lifting in 6 week.s

But my shoulder stil feels weird, i just got out of shower and I (retardedly) put my arm into my hsirt too suddenly and my shoulder felt like it almost dislocated again.

>>35195853
Thanks man I do go to physio but I'm in Canada and it feels like they're really lazy here tbqh.

I'm just really pissed off because this shit keeps happening to me everytime in the WORST TIMES.

>Got a new job
>HEHEHE shoulder dislocates

>OK no big deal I'll recover
>Start lifting again, trying to get healthy

>Ok ill recover again, do a bunch of pushups to check stability before doing anything
>OK did 15 pushups full ROM no pain no nothing
>go to lake

>NOPE SHOULDER DISLOCATES AGAIN

And now that I did my surgery finally after waiting so long it still hurts and feels pretty unstable even though it's not suppose to. Literally feels like it could dislocate at any moment.

It's been 2 months since surgery now too so it's not like it's recent.

I think I might just kill myself if it dislocates again when i begin lifting in a month. Fucking hate this shit why does it have to keep happening to me,i didnt do anything wrong why is god punishing me?

>>35195801
scared now, just did my first ruck march, 5 miles at 20% bodyweight.

do you advise against continuing or were you being careless? if careless, how do you suggest avoiding injury?

>>35189962
Anon I came in here looking for fellow wrist/ forearm injury bros. Ever since I did some heavy overhand grip curls my forearm has been swollen and in pain the next day all the sudden. Fingers move fine hurts to move wrists. Assuming it's some type of tendonitis and wearing a brace on it currently.

>>35188492
Broke my toe , its okay I have a few more

why even fucking live guys

all I ever wanted was to get /fit/ and everytime i try to something terrible happens.

i don't get it man. I don't drink more than once or twice a year, I don't do drugs, I don't smoke i dont do anything bad, I play chess, i read books, i study.

I don't even play videogames. All I want is to just exercise and get to a moderate level of fitness and every single time i get severe pain that can only be controlled with morphine.

>>35189088
Bad posture. I got a lot better when I started lifting.

That sounds crazy as hell.
Did you have any previous military experience before becoming a merc?

>>35189088
Posing in the mirror.

>>35196034
I mean, that's nothing.
I was send to a not-really-legal military camp when I was 13, by my father, because of some shit that went down in my life.
That's my pre-mercenary experience. Just a ton of abuse as a child, trained to be a soldier. Took me two years to get from the camp, from then on I became a mercenary, since they pretty much made one, in that camp. I was there with few other kids as well. Some were homeless kids from streets, some were kids of prominent people, (had a close female friend that was a daughter of a head of a mob), some were unfortunate kids like me.
They trained us with one idea in mind, and that was for us to skip our childhood and become a killer at young age.
They did it with about 40 kids total, if I remember correctly.
Have a convenient greentext, that I'll post in a second. Just a small example of what happened in there.

After we got out, I may have been the most thankful person on the earth. Every little thing seemed like a miracle.
One kid actually cut his foot open, on a bone back then. Got infection, and had to have a good portion of his leg cut out. Fortunately, he survived.

>>35188492
Some kind of recurring shit with my wrist. I don't *think* i lever-hand when i bench but it's that kind of sprain or tendonitis feeling. Comes and goes.

>>35196141
That's insane man. Like what you seen in a movie.
My backup plan is to join the French foreign legion if I fail out of school.

I don't know if this counts, but about 10 years ago I broke my leg, and the walking cast I was put in caused my foot to turn more outward. Adjusting my leg so the foot points more forward starts to have my knee turn inward which doesn't feel right, so I've just dealt with it.

I've always wondered if it affects my squats and deads

>>35195732

I've talked talked to one guy that wanted to join the FFL two days ago, actually.
I have a feeling they don't hire as much as they did before.
My plan was to join the legion as well, but I'm broken to bits, and they only hire the most suited people for the job.
One guy said his brother got sent home after few days, since they just didn't want to ruin the guy.

>>35196259
Well, as understood, you didn't get a monthly salary, but you rather got payed by a job.
It varied from 5000 EUR, to 20,000 EUR
And I did about 5 to 10 jobs a year.

I was quite loaded, honestly. Not anymore.

>>35196306
>100 000 EUR for risking your life and doing a bunch of gay shit

Not really worth it imo.

You can make more and more reliably in a lot of jobs.

>>35196320
I guess, but if you would count all the days I worked a year, it would be less than half a month.

Unless you are some corporate shark, working 15 days a year and making +- 100,000 EUR, isn't really possible.
But it's not work cut out for everyone, plus, there's high risk of dying.
I get your point.

>>35196352
>I guess, but if you would count all the days I worked a year, it would be less than half a month.

Oh really? I thoguht it would be a lot more time worked. Ok that's a good amount then.

I was getting more at a lot of Finance jobs in the US can easily make a lot more than that if you're an associate or higher at a firm, and you're not risking your life lol.

Torn meniscus, right knee, lateral, anterior horn.

It was minor enough that I didn't need surgery, and physical therapy fixed me up pretty good, but early in the fall I slipped and fell while running and landed on the same knee. Doctors don't think I damaged it any further, but the inflammation really got to it. Had to do a cortisone cycle among other things.

>tfw no more dead lifts
>tfw no more squats

I probably could ease back into them, but right now I don't want to get fucked up, because my ability to run 2 miles is pretty important for my scholarship at uni.

>>35195708

>>35196374
There's also difference what you get for normal work where I live.
Middle-class person makes about 600 EUR a month for example. My mother has PHD and makes 550 a month, working in a laboratory.

So for our standards, I was making quite a lot of money.

>>35196418
>Middle-class person makes about 600 EUR a month for example. My mother has PHD and makes 550 a month, working in a laboratory.

Oh right that's true. Who would've thought killing people would be so profitable though.

Damn now that I think about it, the people making $100k/yr+ in Eastern Europe are living like literal kings, even better than in the US.

>>35196449
You wouldn't believe how cheap some shit in here is.
I can buy pretty good food for maybe 30 EUR a week. So imagine what I had.
I mostly spent it on guns, import bikes, and expensive vacations.
I also started my own PMC, that costed me quite a lot of money.

Now I live a life of a simpleton, and I don't mind.
You've got to try all kinds of life. Now I have to count money to have food for whole month, but again, it doesn't really bother me.
Wish I didn't sell my Triumph bike, though.

>>35196054
gooby pls

>>35196521
So who pays you?

Is it true that Oligarchs/people in parliament pretty much rule over Eastern Europe and everyone else is just poor and struggling to live a moderate lifestyle?

Slovakia is still considered Middle Europe, but.. Not really.
If you have good connections, then your life is easy for you.
If you don't, you will struggle for every penny.
For example, my ex's father was close friends with our Prime Minister, so I got to go to few fancy weddings and shit.

And who payed me? From what I can remember:
State PMC's
Guy who worked for South Africa goverment
Mob bosses in Thailand and Indonesia
Actual governments, but never officially (mostly Eastern European ones)
Rich guys who wanted to show off their power
And plenty more

Once we got payed by Special Operations to simulate training with their trainees. Was fun.
We went for a drink afterwards.

No, but really, I got into 4chan by accident. I heard someone mention it, random board, I went there and I hated it.
Then I went to /pol/, and it wasn't that bad. Stayed there for a bit and for some reason I ended up here.
I eventually just went to infinity-chan, and I go to 4chan only because of /fit/

(Other piece is Black Battalion, therefore "Černoj Pluk", my PMC. You wouldn't believe what a hassle it was to find the same company that made my first dogtag, just so I could get second piece made. I don't like asymmetric shit.)

Guns are pretty much sold, although I had m1911 in safe in a friends house, in case I get raided.

So far as other people get there - ex-military.
If you were infantry, corpsmen, special ops, whatever, and you got kicked out for some stupid reason, we had public and private files about you, and later we contacted you, if you were sufficient enough.
That's about it. Otherwise you have to know people in the business.

>>35197066
About 250,000 EUR overall? I'm not sure, since it fluctuated.
And how does a mercenary go bankrupt. Good question, here's a manual.
1. Invest all the money you have into buying supplies, and paying off soldiers in the PMC you created
2. Get ratted out by your friends and comrades, that sent you to a mission that you were supposed to die in.
3. Get a Slovakian equivalent of DEA to go after your money when you didn't die. Option was either to send me to jail until my peenor rots off, or to transfer all my remaining money to few bank accounts.
Guess which one I did I choose.
Gotta love corruption.
>>35197091
Nah, not Syria. Bunch of retards will jump you with AK's they can barely operate, you still get fucking shot, goodbye everything. I won't die in some third world country, just because few thugs jumped me, since they wanted the shoes I wear.
Biggest regret? I should've manage my finances better.

Another L5 S1 injury here

Was squatting 4 plate and some kid knocked my bar causing all the weight to shift to my lower back.


Now I can't squat or dead, was unable to walk without pain for a year and now I constantly have pain shooting down both legs at all times.

No pain meds work and I am to young for surgery.


At least I have maintained my 2.5 plate bench and 1.5 plate overhead press.

>ITBS left hip.

Although I don't have it as bad as you, my right is fucked up quite nicely, so I wouldn't mind few augmentations.
I would happily get cybernetic limbs if it was available now.
Would beat having constant pain in my knee.

Do you get still get phantom pain, by the way? One leg amputee told me he has it, but who's going to believe heroin junkie, right.

>>35197973
Fuck yeah I do

Only on my left leg though

>>35197755
that's pretty wild

do you still have sensation?

>>35198096
Anyways, overall good luck to you mate, I wish you will get new legs in near future.

I'll keep going at it.

fucking adductor magnus. I get sharp pains after i squat and its not DOMS because thats more subtle.
I think one of the reasons i'm getting injured is due to over stretching. But i dunno i'm just taking things slowly and reassessing my form.

Was in a car accident this January, I broke my tib/fib, femur (rods were infused inside these bones) and humerus which then lead to radial nerve palsy for five months. Luckly im walking now with little pain and my hand is working like new. 10/10 recovery would do again.

Thats when I learned you should talk about your injuries only with your doctor

Completely ruptured patellar tendon last year. Nearly done recovering.
>got hit by a car last week
>broken metacarpal in my right (dominant) hand
thank god my knee's still fine

>>35195917
>do you advise against continuing or were you being careless?
not careless, it was simply a combination of several things.
1 I am hypermobile in my back.
2 I hyperextended because we were taught to keep a "strong and proud posture".
3 guess what happens when you overextend your spine with +40 kgs of gear for several months
>if careless, how do you suggest avoiding injury?
do a fuckton of meme core training and strength training before hand. also use a slow and steady progression. do those and you'll do fine. if you experience wierd pain and shit that wont go away, get it researched. because you want that sorted when shit begins

I had intense, crippling sciatica from an L4L5 herniation. Dealt with that shit for about a year, taking rx muscle relaxants, oxies, percs, you name it. Tried acupuncture, PT, steroid injections, nothing worked.

> I know the constant pain sucks but after they cut a piece out of you, you're never going to be the way you were before.

You really don't know anything lol. I had the surgery, and personally, I'm stronger than I was before. I can't exactly powerlift anymore, but I'm ottermode as fuck. Squat 235 5x5, bench 195 5x5, but I can only deadlift around 225 5x5 safely, all at 153lb body weight.

And if you want to shit on my hurdur anecdotal evidence, the procedure has come an extremely long way in recent years. Search "microdiscectomy"

Toughing it out for 2 years left me 50lbs lighter than I was pre-injury, depressed, and suffering from a crippling oxy-about to be heroin addiction.

Just do the fucking procedure.

Bad trap hematoma (bruise) from playing rugby. Really fucked me up, couldn't use my arm for the better part of 2 months.

Just getting back into it now, so many lost gains. Makes me feel like shit

Wrist problems from throwing punches when I was younger, it comes and goes. Really prevents me from doing push ups and flares up if I do.

>>35195897
i can totally sympathize with you. hence my emphasis on the "it sucks" part.

there was a period of about 2 straight years where i'd injure myself, take time off to recover, get a new injury, take time off to recover, and so on and so forth. it was crushing to see gains coming relatively quickly and then having to drag myself away from the gym to not exacerbate the problems that kept cropping up.

i haven't been injured now in about 2 years and am in better shape than ever and i owe a lot of that to my mobility work.

>"microdiscectomy"
Although it has 90% - 95% success rates it hasn't been around long enough for any studies of long term effects. Believe me I had to take a good long long look at operations. But being 20, I can't stress enough how important long term effects are to me

>can't exactly powerlift anymore
Sorry, shitting on it anyways

I'm not pro operation or against it, I'm just putting my thoughts out there for anon to read and consider, if you think surgery is your only option by all means get the surgery
