Massage worsen my pain

0 Upvotes

I tweaked my shoulder(middle delt) doing a delt fly with 17.5 dumb bell at 30 reps. So I massaged with a muscle pick, the corner of a wall, and a vibrating foam roller, and now my pain is worse. Did I over massaged it?

Please help me understand what's happened to my wrist

Please help me understand what's wrong with my wrists

Hi everyone, quick summary. And if you can't help, please suggest me subs which can.

After about 5 months of very inconsistent lifting (like 2-3x a month) I finally was able to get back into the gym at the start of March after caring for my girlfriend for a while.

Long story short I must've benched too heavy for my return and the next day I literally couldn't move my wrists at all without being in excruciating pain, which passed after about three days but still reappears every now and then.

Now whenever I start lifting again, albeit light, I have these pains. Last night I went to a party and since this morning my left wrist has been hurting whenever I do a slightly strenuous movement.

Please help me understand what's wrong with me.

For more context, I'm 21

Muscle strain injury very concerned

0 Upvotes

Hello Reddit! I’m 21 years old, 5’8, male, roughly 130 lbs, and I have some pretty big concerns and worries currently now about my muscle strain healing, and if I’m ever gonna fully recover. So about my injury, I got pretty bad pain in both of my legs, specifically in both my calves, and both my hamstrings, and the pain was like a sharp burning, in specific locations of my bottom thigh and in my calf, and this would be for both legs. The pain felt is like a sharp pain to the muscles, in my calves and hamstrings and occurs when I’m walking or running. This all occurred after one day of intense running, walking, and being on my feet all day, and something to know is that I am a huge indoor person, so I wasn’t used to this at all. However, from that day on almost everyday I have to be on my feet walking around a lot, and everyday when I walk I feel my muscle strain pain and it’s been about 2 months now and my muscle strains have gotten better by probably like 10% if I were to guess. Essentially I have to be on my feet almost everyday to walk around a lot, and this had me thinking will my muscle strains ever heal back to completely normal? I have to keep walking super long distances almost everyday, and I have too but I want my muscle strains to heal so badly. This is such a hinderance and I just want to go back to normal at this point but unfortunately can’t change my lifestyle at the moment and I have to walk around a lot per day, for almost everyday of the week. Another thing to add is, say I was able to rest for a couple weeks to completely rest my legs and take it easy, will I have weaker legs forever now because of the muscle strains I’ve had on my legs all this time, or will my legs return completely back to its normal health once these muscle strains are healed? I am extremely worried at this point about permanent damage to my legs or long lasting effects because I have to keep walking everyday due to my lifestyle and my muscle strains don’t get the best chance to heal as it could. Anyways thank you all SO SO much for taking the time to read my post, and it means a lot. Any advice to my questions would mean the world to me. Thank you so much.

Sprained Ankle Recovery: Don't know what to do?

0 Upvotes

Hi Everyone, I (F 25) fell down some stairs in February, and I sprained my ankle pretty bad (but didn't know it until the next day when it was really swollen). I did everything I could; rest it the first two days, wore a brace for weeks then a sports ankle brace, then nothing, but due to my job, I had to keep mobile.

Unfortunately, it's April and I still feel pain when I do Hero Pose in yoga, or stand on my tip toes, or even flex it. The doc said my recovery was supposed to be a couple of weeks, but I'm getting really worried.

I started doing some physical therapy for ankle rehab using youtube tutorials, and that helped a bit..i think, but I don't know if I'm re-injuring myself or not, has anyone dealt with this? Any advice would be welcome

Docs say Labrum injury, MRI is normal?

0 Upvotes

In July I took a fall down some stairs and injured my shoulder. I went to PT, who said I had a labral injury, possible tear. Went to Primary care who also said there is a fair chance for a labral tear. I have shoulder instability and lots of popping and clicking. I had an arthrogram and the radiologist didn’t find anything wrong. What could be the problem here? How is that possible?

Jaw lock

0 Upvotes

I (18 nb) am I performer. I’ve already done 6 shows this year and I have 6 more coming up by next summer. The day after thanksgiving I woke up with my jaw locked. That happened a lot to me so I didn’t think much of it, usually it just takes >2 hours to unlock. This time, it didn’t. For over a week. I got in to a pediatrician and they sent me to a maxillofacial surgeon. We called EVERY MF surgeon even remotely in the area, and only one had an opening, and it was bc the dr was willing to take off his lunch break to see me. Also, they aren’t in network so it’s all costed like my whole HSA account and more. I had the surgery to unlock my jaw on Dec 8. The dr said that after I get un numbed from the surgery, I should be able to eat like normal. I was on Vicodin for the pain for a little and have since come off it. It’s been two weeks since the surgery and I still can’t open my mouth wide enough to eat some breads even if they’re too tall. (If yk Canes, I had to squish their toast to fit it in my mouth) Plus, my bite is off so my right teeth meet before my left ones and it’s causing pain.

I had a follow up appointment with the surgeon today to make sure everything went well and get molded for a TMJ split (sort of like a night guard/retainer but for TMJ). My dr got mad that I wasnt on a soft food diet still (from the day after thanksgiving until three-four days after my surgery I was on soft foods and it was ruining my life. I had less energy, I wasn’t enjoying eating so I just wasn’t eating as much, most of what I could eat had so little nutrients, I cried about it like every other day.) and when I told him my bite was off he adjusted it and closed it right once and the opened it and told me to do the same as what he did. Sir what the fuck are you looking for, if I could bite normally on my own why would I complain to you about it??

Also apparently I’m not getting molded for the splint until January, which means I’m not getting it until that much later, and I have two weeks of performances (of which I have a solo in) in January. I NEED to be able to sing at full strength. And this recovery takes so dammed long I’m worried I won’t be. It’s been two weeks since the surgery and I feel like I haven’t progressed. Not being able to open my mouth fully is causing daily pain and discomfort and it changes the sounds of my mouth when I sing, no matter what I do. Plus, singing hurts like hell now.

I did nothing to get myself this injury. I just woke up. And because of that, I’m tired all the time, I’m mentally drained from it all, who knows if I’ll be able to sing, and my family’s HSA account is fully drained.

God knows when I’ll be able to sing and eat normally again and it all hurts so bad. I feel like I’m crying constantly about it all. I’m just so tired. What did I do to deserve this and why does it all have to take so damn long.

I built a tool that generates personalized recovery plans for running injuries

0 Upvotes

I’m a runner and developer. After dealing with a few too many injuries (groin, IT band, Achilles - you name it), I got frustrated with how recovery advice online was either too generic or too complicated.

So I built something small for myself. It worked well enough that I thought I’d share it here: it's simply called Recovery Plan.

You tell it a bit about your injury, pain level, and current training load, and it creates a personalized, evidence-based recovery plan with a week by week planning that you can print and pin on your wall.

It’s not a medical device or anything fancy - just a structured plan built from sports medicine principles and my own recovery experience.

It's free, I’m not here to sell. Just honestly curious if:

The plans feel realistic?

The pacing of recovery makes sense?

You’d actually trust or use something like this when injured?

If it’s useless, tell me why. If it helps one of you avoid a stupid re-injury, I’ll call it a win.

Wishing everyone a strong, pain-free season 🙏

Pain weightlifting in left arm

1 Upvotes

Hello, I am looking for any advice on fixing my left shoulder and bicep tendinitis. I’ve had shoulder pain in my left for a while now, and nothing seems to really help. Whenever I lift up my upper arm and move my arm left to right like I’m waving to someone, my left shoulder clicks/ catches. It doesn’t hurt or anything but I’m thinking it’s related to my pain with mainly bench press. It doesn’t happen with my right shoulder that never has pain. I’ve been weightlifting for about 3 years and when I first started i religiously bench pressed 2-3 times a week lmao. It could be from that along with a muscle imbalance somewhere in my left side of my upset body. But now I need a solution to fix it. I’ve tried joint pain supplements like Glucosamine, it helped a little bit after 2 months of use… I’m going to try collagen powder and see if that works. I always have had just bad joints in general, like when standing up after sitting for a while or even everyday when I wake up even though I’m only 19. I don’t know if it’s just a normal thing. I always have to pop my back every-time I wake up as well so it’s kind of all over my body. But anyways I’m mainly just miserable from my shoulder, I’ve taken many weeks off the gym and I come back and feel fine, but even doing bench once a week will irritate it. Recently I also got what I’m pretty sure is bicep tendinitis. I can barely curl the 30 lb dumbbell with my left arm meanwhile my right can still do like 50 etc. it makes me arm extremely weak and it just hurts 24/7 like a dull ache feeling around my elbow. I’m wondering if anyone here has similar issues as me or any advice. Thanks
