got an ankle sprain too, just do floss bands a few times a day and that ankle will be ready to lift and run again really quick. Frick ice, even the guy who made R.I.C.E. popular doesnt believe in that anymore
I personally find that blasting injuries like that with hot water works a lot better than ice. Gets the blood flow to the area and helps relax the surrounding muscles.
yup tried it, nothing compares to a couple hundred reps of moving your ankle on floss bands though. It literally makes you good to do your sport again the next day. The only con is your ankle doesn't feel sprained anymore even though it still is, so you gotta take it easy.
ive rolled my ankles multiple times throughout my life by accident like this and never felt anythihng
never knew people actually got hurt by it until I hear people talking about it
bad genetics,
Sad!
Skateboarding will absolutely wreck your ankles over time.

Man, neck pain is probably the worst pain out there. It completely immobilizes you.

finger problems are like shoulder problems.
you use your fingers so much daily that you can't truly let it rest without just complete immobilization of it.

Exactly OP pic when I was bouldering. It was a relatively low overhang that required hanging on to two holds without much grip and swinging your body from one side completely to another and landing with your toes on a really small hold to stabilize and be able to advance. I slipped off and landed on my right foot exactly like that and I couldn't compensate because the overhang was so close to the mat.
Strangely enough it gradually healed and the pain completely disappeared, but in the past few weeks it's been coming back.
I never use dumbells and I ended up going to the 100 pounders for pressing because it's all they had at the hotel gym I was using recently. My wrists are all sorts of fricked up right now from that
Forearm tendinosis from not resting and climbing too much volume. Absolutely avoidable. Continued to climb on it forcing me to take a rest. Couldnt grab shit without burning pain in my arm. Somehow bench press sped up rehab. idk I might just be moronic.

Frick me I guess.
Not so recent, but this is the most moronic injury I've given myself. I used to try to work on my wrist flexibility in the shower by putting my palm flat on the wall and trying to bend my wrist with some added body weight. Obviously stretching is uncomfortable, so I pushed through that discomfort and pain and popped my wrist. I literally tore the sheathe in my wrist and gave myself a ganglion cyst. It was awful. I had to fix it for years by smashing my wrist on walls, desks, and books. I learned that the best way to pop it was to hit it with a hammer. It stung like a b***h. It eventually went away after I crushed it enough times. Never push your stretches too far.

Have you tried H.E.A.T.?
My left knee buckled the other day while I was walking, no pain or anything, but has me worried that it might be ready for a critical failure.

Hopefully its not a tiny fracture, ankles are so easy to frick up.
How can you tell?
Broke my right hand twice, punching a wall.

I was doing pull ups for the first time in my life and now my back hurts very badly.
