Innocuous injuries

[mazzybear]

While any injury is frustrating, I find it's the silly ones that happen out of nothing that are the most annoying. For example, I was simply walking down to the car park at work last week when out of the blue, I felt a "pop" at the back of my leg just under my right buttock, it turned into a sharp pain and I had to limp the rest of the way to the car. I had class that night and with a grading coming up in a few weeks I didn't want to miss the class, so I turned up, did what I could do and sat out anything that aggrivated the injury. Come Thursday's and Sunday's classes while the pain had eased somewhat, there were still some execises I had to sit out due to small twinges and fear of making it worse. Today there is no pain and everything is moving freely, so tomorrow's class should be back to normal.

I still don't know what it was, a muscle strain or hamstring pull perhaps, I'm just glad I've had no complete loss of training because of it. My friend tells me it's because I'm getting old and had better start getting used to such things happening more frequently. I refuse to believe this though.

Has anybody had these innocuous injuries that have actually kept them off the floor for any period of time?

The other week was -40 F. I woke up cold with every muscle in my body stiff and tense. Then I sneezed. Pulled something in my neck and couldn't turn my head to the right without severe pain for two days. Still feeling it.

Wow!! That's cold I guess such injuries are common place when the temperature dips so low. Neck pain definitely isn't any kind of fun!

hmmmm We had a Christmas party and i was playing dodge ball with the kids. Running across the room I hear a pop (people around me hear it too) and my big toe felt weird. I look down and see blood. I had rolled my toe kind of under my foot and pulled the toe nail out from the root. Didn't hurt but it bleed for a week and I'm still waiting for the nail to fall off. I limped myself back to dojo though though not as agile as I was before (not that i'm all that agile).

If my back is acting up typically i can hardly walk much less go to class :/ (herniated disk)

This makes me a little queezy, I have a bit of a phobia about my toe nails coming off. Even though there was no pain, I would've had a slight meltdown! I hope it falls off soon and doesn't hinder you too much.

This kind of thing happens to me all the time. I have dislocated a rib twice--once by setting down our rabbits' water dish, and once by reaching to the top shelf for a box of cereal. I regularly put a kink in my back by getting up out of bed, or leaning over to pick up something light.
