what injuries have you had?

[Shane0Mac]

i have had a completely screwed up right lat (possibly tore it) i couldnt move faster than walking for 1 month, back in the gym after 2, and 4 and a half months before i could bowl in cricket again. there were a few factors that could have attributed to it;
1 bad deadlift then
4 nights sleeping on the floor
and then finally after warming up, i bowled 1 ball and then could hardly move.

and then i was doing deadlifts with not that much weight (about 200lbs) and everything felt fine until about 3 hours later and i had fluid on my right knee (some is still there)

so anyway, what injuries have you had?

I tore my mcl in a wrestling match, broke my pinky toe at the growth plate so now its sideways, and had elbow tendinitis.

[zodiiac523]

Torn ACL/LCL playing football(required surgery). Tore ACL again during rehab(surgery), and then about 20% of ACL snapped and got locked into my knee joint so had to have minor surgery to clean that out.. all within a year, pretty bad and boring year..

[The Dooeug]

I strained my right pec muscle benching and it took like almost 2 months to heal, real pain in the buttocks. That was my most recent, but I broke my cheek bone from playing baseball and my collar bone in football lol

-I tore a muscle in my left arm in wrestling(not even sure what) but never got treated, still to this day my left arm has pain when I do lateral DB raises.
-developed Achilles Tendinitis in both my legs due to far too much running.(still sucks to this day)
-pulled my lower back so bad once from doing deads that I thought I damaged my spinal cord. The swelling got so bad one day it compressed the discs or something the EMT said and I could not even walk no more. Scary crap.
-its a constant up and down battle with my wrists, sometimes they are almost crippled others they have invincible grip no one has broken yet lol.

probably a few others I have forgotten as well lol.

[lilnardey]

Had a ganglion cyst in my left wrist, sounds pathetic but they really are a pain. Couldnt lift anything heavy with it. Now it looks like Im developing one in my right wrist, time to get er drained

[EustisPanther]

-Snapped my arm in 2 places completely through. (curled up like a fish hook, f'ing gross)
-Nail through the bottom of my mouth up into my tongue
-Broke my right hand 3 times
-Popped both clavicles out of place, looked like i had fingers trying to poke through the skin on my shoulders
-Stabbed in the knee
-Dislocated my spinal column (worst pain I've ever felt)
-Got my foot run over by a silverado
-Head cracked open twice
-Front teeth knocked out by a weightlifting bar flying up and hitting me in the face

I use to work construction with a guy who was missing a chip from his elbow. It was dangerous being below him because he would be hammering fine, then bam the hammer would go flying. Hit me in the ear once..lol

[CROWLER]

lol Yes it makes lifting should we saying interesting

[n8te]

-Badly sprained ankle couldn't walk or put pressure on it for over a month. It swelled so bad I could grab my ankle and there would be a hand print in my skin (like i had squeezed play dough) for a few minutes after.
-Cracked my butt bone twice
-Busted my head open
-Cracked ribs
-Numerous cuts to the bone on my shins
-Dislocated left shoulder only God knows how many times it still cracks/pops when I rotate it in a circle

oddly enough, all but one of these are from riding BMX bikes until I was 23, weightlifting has been a far more less dangerous sport so far.

_peice of bone removed from left proximal femur. Out of the gym for over 1 1/2 years.
-stitches in forehead and chin
-multiple back injuries from car accidents
- stitches on left pointer finger (sliced open with power saw-to the bone-I saw it-no pun intended)
-broke three toes biking
-broke all fingers-no thumbs-not at the same time (broke 3 at once when a coworker dropped a bundle of 1 1/2" EMT on my fingers)
-tendonitis in left elbow
-broke left wrist
-sprained ankles-more than i can count (sports)
-bruised heal bones
-sprained wrists- multiple times

Not sure if anyone else remembers those shoes with the grind plates on the bottoms? Well, i must have broke my tailbone off using those stupid things haha.

Same for me. I racked up more injuries from highschool sports, work, driving, and extreme sports than weight lifting. Kinda makes me wish i focused more on lifting when i was younger.

Couldn't possibly count all the shin dings,bruised and bloody elbows and diggers i've accumulated from biking, skateboarding and snowboarding.

Yea I wish I would have focused on it earlier too, but I still love the sport.
