Could be a herniated disc in your neck.
I dont have much experience with it, tho i am a medfag. Go see a doctor, jesus..

>need a medfag!
You mean a doctor. You need a doctor. Go to a doctor.

If you decide to go to basic still, don't tell anybodh about, recruiters, drill instructors, other recruits, and especially not if you're joining a branch that does the moment of truth bullshit. There were people in my division who couldn't do 10 push ups on the first day and managed to make it through. So stop working out for the next week if it turns out to be temporary. But check with a medfag to make sure it's not serious first senpai

Medfag here. I imagine you were pushing your head into a back pad? This could have caused all kinds of problems. Most likely would be a disk issue, but you could have ruptured a ligament that runs along the spine (basically like whiplash. This is much less likely). Seeing as you're having problems limiting your arm but can do some push ups, it was probably around c5/6. You, my friend need some imaging done to see what gives. Go sooner rather than later, nerve damge can lead to profound muscule atrophy. You don't want that.

Ignore this shit

Nursefag here, go to the fucking doctor. When women get an epidural for c - section, a headache afterwards is most likely caused by bleeding in the cavity where the needle was, which can be fixed easily

In other words, your probably bleeding or have a disc messing with your spinal cord

I think Ive had the same stuff in the past. It has happened in the past when Ive done quite heavy machine flys and tensed up too hard. Id describe it as a sort of cramp that goes up your neck and fucks with your head.

If its the same thing Ive had, just dont tense up as much, remember to breath properly, keep your neck in a nutral position, avoid getting too fatigued and drink sufficently with water. Its norhing to worry about.

Alright, I'm gonna try that out. I've been keeping myself hydrated chugging water thinking it was dehydration, ill start increasing electrolyte intake.

Thanks for the advice anons.
If it doesn't stop by Wednesday, i'm going to go get it checked out.Id like to avoid the doctor just for something that could just be a pinched nerve. ill try stretch it out and keep it on a heated rag and ice until then.

Stay Healthy, Stay Motivated

agreed, thats how its feels.
im definitely taking the notes on the breathing technique now. I think thats how it all started was straining to hard. Im just hoping it goes away by next monday.

Looks like you took a one way trip to slip city

>>39411490
No
Go now, your ship date can always be pushed back. Fucking around and ignoring head/neck pain is a great way to become paralyzed

>>39411355
That's what you get for using leg press instead of squatting.

>>39411355

RMT here, can you give us a better description of your position while doing that leg press? That other med-anon mentioned one possibility, as in, extending your neck to push your head back into the cushion? What were your arms doing, were they crossed Infront of your chest or something else? How were your feet positioned?

You mentioned that you felt weird after the shock you experienced... Any vertigo, nausea, light sensitivity?

Any other symptoms that you have experienced since that you may not attribute to said exercising but are nonetheless new?

Did you neck twinge, then feels like muscles are grabbing base of skull at vertebrate?

I've had this happen during squats. Convinced its a muscular issue of some sort. Had headache after bc muscles were sore; cleared up after some time off, less than a week.

Had something similar happen when I first started lifting a few years ago. Went down for a squat and when I locked out I immediately got the worst pounding headache of my life. For weeks after whenever my heartrate went up enough I would feel it creep in as a throbbing headache where my neck met my head. Went to a doctor and they said I 'strained my neck.' Whatever that means.
Ice it if it helps but it will go away on its own. Since fixing my breathing I have never had anything like it since.

100% serious had the exact same thing happen to me once. First year of lifting. It was a partially torn muscle in my neck. Run up the back of my next to like the top of my head.

They put me in a soft neck brace and gave me muscle relaxers

>>39411355
I need to ask you right now, is it a pain that you feel in the back of your neck or spine like your picture? Or do you feel it more in your occipital bone?

This exact thing happened when I started lifting in highschool, basically gave me a perma headache until I went to the doctor, anytime I did any type of physical lifting the back of my neck would tense and my head would throb. He prescribed me some APO-cyclobenzaprine(muscle relaxant) and rabeprazole(something so the other drug dosent fuck up my stomach)
Took that shit for like a month and it cleared me up of all pain, though when i lift my neck will feel tender sometimes if I don't breath properly.

Idk you might have something similair, go see a doctor b4 it's too late fampai

PROBABLY pinched a nerve, take it easy for a few days.
