Kind of miss front squats, no reason why I don't do them, I just haven't in awhile.. nice job on them!

Not real sure. I felt like I took it pretty easy today. My legs could have handled a lot more they aren't even sore today. Just think I tweaked something on my last set of front squats
Just a minor tweak I think
Having a cranial sacral massage today. Hopefully it will help

Well its been a painful road. I've been laid up all week. Turns out somehow I managed to slip a rib out of place. It's been causing some serious pain in my back and after a cranial sacral massage and 2 chiropractor visits I'm still sore as hell. I'm hoping I can get over this thing by Monday. I'm not sure how the hell it happened. I did front squats on Monday and my lower back started hurting so I called it after only 13 sets on quads. Immediately called and booked a massage and took the night off work Monday to let it reast. After my massage my lower back pain was gone but I noticed my rear delt was really sore still from shoulders last Friday so I was concerned. It got so bad by Tuesday afternoon I couldn't bend over or move my head to the left. So I went to the chiropractor. He adjusted the $hit out of me and I felt better but by this morning I was just as bad as Tues. I haven't worked all week or trained. I'm going nuts. And to top it all off I can't sleep bc the pain is so bad. No health insurance either....i know I didn't tear anything so I'm not too concerned.

Well its now been 3 weeks since 8ve been able to train. I've been on Prednisone, Flexaril, and Tylenol with codeine to sleep and I still don't have much relief. Beginning to think I may have a pinched nerve as I'm getting tingling in my hand now. I'm frustrated and depressed. I'm eating like $hit and I just want to start training again.

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaack. After a 4 week hiatus and a ton of pain, I've decided I need to push through this and get back in. I don't have insurance for a MRI and I feel like I can function again so i started back with 20 mins on the stepmill last night and even though I wanted to throw up I felt ok. I'm not even 80% but I need my gym life back. Had a nice 90 min massage this morning. Just finished up meal #1 of 6 egg whites and 2 full eggs with 2 slices of cheese and a 50 g protein shake. I'm going to carb cycle for the next 8 weeks hoping to get some of this weight off. I'm at 245 right now, but I hate the way I look. 4 weeks of eating crap food really got to me. I will be doing 3 days with no carbs and then 1 day with. My carbs will be rice oatmeal or sweet potatoes only. Glad to have some focus back. Gonna hit some cardio and maybe some light legs or arms I haven't decided yet. Feels good to be back. Sorry for being such a stranger. I am battling some major depression symptoms from everything going on and I hope that I'm coming out of it now. Thanks for all the kind words and prayers. I love and appreciate everyone. Time to get back to work

Feels great to be back however it's gonna take a lot of patience. Overall not a bad arm workout of 32 sets. Really shake and have lost some feeling in my left hand due to a pinched nerve somewhere but I will overcome this.

Which fingers go numb? If you know for sure its a pinch disc then you can sorta narrow down which disc by which fingers. Obviously it's between C4-C7. If I remember correctly and I can look back through my old notes or ask my wife but index and forefinger is C5-C6 pinky is C4-C5. Forearm is C6-C7. Something like that. I'm fused from C2-C7. And lower back also. So, it's not the end brother, just a different page!

Carpal tunnel?
turff49
Well-known member
Funny you mention Carpal Tunnel. That's what they first diagnosed me with because of my age. They did the surgery, and on the 6 week follow up the doc said " feeling much better right" I told him no that it was even worse. Felt like a grapefruit under my shoulder blade and my hand and arm would go numb and then feel like needles. They did an MRI and I had surgery a few days later C3-C7 were obliterated no disc whatsoever. Doc said I must've had both problems, carpal tunnel and blown disc - friggin idiot doc. I went to a Neurologist for the surgery and follow ups.

Good that you're back. Don't take what happens during these periods too seriously. Take your time and rebuild and in a couple of months you are going to feel silly about getting so down on yourself. Bounce back is faster than you think.
