How many injuries do you currently have?

[Con]

Had very bad problems with my RCs for around a year, besides that just little rips and pinched nerves(left lat at the moment.)

[paul.bates]

lomer back and shoulders,

strted doing hanging leg raises, isolates the lower muscles of the lower back and abs, plus mix it up with slow controlled situps you'll soon notice the difference.

As for the shoulders man they always get bust when i do dips grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

I have a dodgey right rotator cuff.
It's had 2 episodes of partial dislocation (Sub-luxation), so shoulder training avoids the heavy presses.

Also, have an on going neck thing from a car crash last Dec. But this isn't too bad.

I have cycels with more when I play Rugby... Hhahah Currently sporting a black eye, numerous blisters and scrapes from yesterdays match!

All done bye bye

i have a shoulder injury that effects pressing movements, plus my lower back injury from an accident in 1996 that left me paralysed from the waist down.

[colrob1]

what was the actual injury to your lower back?i have had lower back probs for the last 2 years that just came out of nowhere .i ended up havind a disc op last oct but im still in pain .i still train though as i find keeping moving helps things.

[Pscarb]

i was in an accident during a tug-o-war but that just highlighted the issue it came to light that i have a partially fused L5/L4 vertebrae the disk in between L5/S1 is pretty much taking all the strain on top of that i have a degenerative bone disease in the L5/L4 on the side that is not fused.
because of this i cannot bend backwards if i do the nerves that wrap round the nodules get trapped and the pain is so bad my brain tells my legs to collapse to ease the pain(non medical explanation ) Feb of each year i have 6 x 6inch needles inserted into my back onto the nerves that surround the nodules then a electronic current is passed through the pins to burn the nerves away this lasts around 6 months before the pain comes back.....but the type of operation prevents from me having it more than once a year....

wtf that sounds bad!!, ive currently got sore lower back,spasm again-previous injuries from deads and squats(poor form when young), hopfully clear up and settle down in week or so-did to much squats last week, not heavy only100k but as was easy did 5 sets-mistake back stiffened right up

[ONE SMART COOKIE]

Got a shagged RC at the moment..

Just recoverying from an elbow/forearm strain that had massive amounts of scar tissue around it, and still shifting some of that...

And still in the process of getting my twisted pelvis/hip and spine back into correct alignment, but this is an ongoing things due to work (and lack of flexability & core strength) so I don`t count that one...lol

[paulo]

thats what ive beentold ive got-have to do stretching hip/glute and prone back raises to strengthen up-low back weak and abs too strong in comparison apparently! which pulls hips out of sync

[gettinthere]

at the moment right shoulder just niggling but right knee absolutely killing me,wake up at least 2-3 times anight crying or screaming cause leg totally locked up .it sucks.unfortunately i am a old fart and i am paying the price of nearly 20 years of lifting and cardio.

[Captain Hero]

get some wrist and elbow pains every now and then but nothing major, and shoulder pains when I flat bench, so I dont flat bench no mo'

Other than those never broken a bone or torn anything.

WTF!!! And yet you have pushed through it all and look at you... Impressive mate!! keep up the good work.


I just have a shoulder injury on my front delt that seems fck me up some days. At one stage I would work shoudlers fine and then this cramp will come on and try train and cant carry on and leave the gym using each arm to hold the arm up, had some physio and seemed to fix the left one but not the right one. Currently it's tender if I massage it with my fingers. Need to get it looked at I guess. Not nice starting a course with it playing up!!!

[Ollie B]

Occasionally i get a slight niggle in my right shoulder when doing incline bench press.

[NeilpWest]

got a bad lower back, bad knees and now a bad elbow always something

[nibbsey]

Done both rotator cuff's 3 times , painfull sh*t. Used to work through the pain working delts up to 140kg press behind neck for reps, no more pain till next AM. Always occured after big benching night. Paying the price for that now that i'm older as my doctor tells me.

Ah well, live and learn
