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.

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 would have thought the best aquaman would be more flexible…
thebestaquaman@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
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

I’m sat with an ice pack on my knee so I totally gey it
aeronmelon@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I need an update. Did you make it off the floor?
thebestaquaman@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
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.

yoga is real good for this tbh
Onionguy@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
This. Just a bit of stretching and light exercise 10 mins a day can do miracles.
Yingwu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
Yep. Life changing.

I once fractured my fibula blowing out a candle. I was, like, 17. You’re telling me it’s going to get WORSE?!

How the FUCK did you manage to break your LEG by blowing air through your LIPS??

It’s called talent, learn it.
JakenVeina@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
It was one of those tall, thin church candles that you normally put out with a long handheld suffocator. Me, I tried to just jump for it. Came down awkwardly on one of the thing’s feet, lost my balance, and my leg crumpled in under me as I fell.

I messed up my back today putting on my shoes. I may be crippled for life now. Not sure, but it feels like it.
Is this shit why boomers are always so good damn angry? Ffs I’m 35.
I’m starting to get it. But I’m a trooper and I’m not gonna blame it on the kids just yet. I’m just an out of shape alcoholic. What do I know?
But also, they should get off my lawn and their raps music is too loud. And their haircuts make them look like a discount ear swab. /S
Sixtyforce@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
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.

Every yawn comes with its own risk of dislocating my jaw.
greedytacothief@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
I’m not the only one!?
Staying in shape has helped prevent most other silly injuries though.
TwanHE@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
My muscles are over flexible and even taking a big bite can do it. Also makes it easy to put back in place tho.

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 😓
Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
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.

55 here, I’m a regular runner, not a problem, even ½ marathons. However, I can just be walking to work in the most comfortable shoes, and my ankle randomly gives out can’t even move. 5 minutes later it’s back to normal heh.
baltakatei@sopuli.xyz 2 weeks ago
Let me channel your loved ones: Bring a walking stick with you whenever you go. They make convenient collapsible ones. But better yet, just use a stick wherever you go. They’re convenient to have when encountering rough or slippery terrain since it’s like adding another limb to your body.

Nothing like sneezing so hard you get a crick in your neck for a week. 44.
Ffffffff
chiliedogg@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Sneezing is one of the top ways people throw out their backs.
hkspowers@lemmy.today 3 weeks ago
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.
Kaput@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Fart while sneezing also hurts. Feels like something ripping.
captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
You ever have a sneeze you feel in your arms for about an hour? Like you sneeze, your blood pressure hits 9000 PSI for 8.2 milliseconds and your ghost aches for awhile?
Malfeasant@lemm.ee 2 weeks ago
Yes!
CPMSP@midwest.social 2 weeks ago
Can’t say I have - but that’s a very vivid description!
Threeme2189@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
Nope, can’t say that I have. You should get that checked out.
Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
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. I eventually 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. You’d think it would be minor.
Have to assume I’m just getting old, I guess.
LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Probably just an alien foot implant - the injector slips sometimes.

Yep, tore my meniscus in my knee a month ago shifting my weight standing still in my kitchen
toynbee@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
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.

TBF I’ve been choking on water since I was a wee lad. I just drink too aggressively. A drinking problem, of sorts.
Lifter@discuss.tchncs.de 3 weeks ago
Drinking too hard is when you accidentally swallow too much at the same time, painfully forcing it down.
bpev@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
ohhh right. I do that, too. But not to the fainting level of effort.

Sprained my back sneezing and the military medical officer insinuated that it is not possible and I was malingering… Hope that fella live a long life…

Ya’ll need to add ”walk an hour”, “eat a salad”, and “do calisthenics” to your daily routines.
button_masher@lemmy.ml 3 weeks ago
And never stop doing it. One lapse or moment of weakness and bamm… back to the physio.
DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 2 weeks ago
If by “one lapse” you mean “stop doing it for like a year”…
But yes I did that second part obviously
MellowYellow13@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Not true at all wtf. If lapse is like a year sure
kooks_only@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
Sneezed on the toilet once with my head turned. Neck was frozen for like a week after that one lol.
BigDaddySlim@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
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.
Underwaterbob@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
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.
ibelieveinthehousehippo@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
Something similar happened to my husband! Threw his back out by slipping and not falling on ice 😂

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.

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.

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

If you’ve never sneezed and thrown your back out, count your blessings.

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.
naeap@sopuli.xyz 3 weeks ago
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…
boonhet@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
Oh yeah that’s happened. I had like a minor back strain already, took me a moment to stand up. In the middle of that process, I sneezed. Huge mistake.
