Another Injury!!!

[louden_swain]

I can't figure out what is going on with my body!!

This time I have a sprained lower back. . it is hard as hell to walk and sit down. Time for rehab work.

Something in my right knee was popping last night.

I was making some signifcant progress during the summer, but all of a sudden, my body starts breaking down. Here are current problem areas:

1. strained/mild sprain in lower back. . its hard to walk
2. sore left patella tendon.
3. sore and popping hips
4. tendonitis in both elbows
5. slight pain in right rear delt.

Seems like there is pain everywhere!!!

When I drive down to Norman, I literally have to roll out of my truck just to get out.

I am scheduled to work with incline presses tonight. . which won't be a problem.

However, I have been suffering from mild cramping in the upper pectorals.

I can't figure out what the hell is going on.

I have been eating 5 to 7 meals a day (a diversity of foods) plus drinking a lot of fluids. I still get cramping.

I wonder if my injuries are caused from a certain degree of stress? Things have been a little stressful lately (looking for full-blow career, new place to live, and trying to finish research and graduate).

Bottom line is that I am breaking down. Weights have already been lowered for the past few weeks.

Any other ideas. . sorry for the long message.

Take a one week break to let your body rest. Then see how you feel.

Sorry to hear broly. I think stress can easily lead to this kind of misfortune. Don't let it get you down man. Rehab your lower back and other injuries. Concentrate on your studies and other personal endeavors. Education is the most important thing man.

I know when you have sorted your life out and get everything on track, your training will do the same, and you will explode.

Stay positive man.

I got some of those same injuries...mainly the lower back and tendonitis in both elbows. I'm taking a few months off from deadlifting because of the back injury....the tendonitis I just train through it....sometimes it goes away, but it always comes back.

This happens to everyone, you just gotta give it some rest and work around it.

exactly!

during that time keep eating well, get your vitamin/minerals up there and get some rest. stretch do light movements (calisthenic stuff) but basically let your body heal up. cumulative microtrauma can knock you off the hill without you even seeing it coming.

Perhaps you need enough time off to let EVERYTHING heal properly. It could be that if your previous injry's are not fully healed, they cause you to use other muscles to compensate when you really shouldn't. Then, injury.


Just a thought, Get better bro....

Like they said take a week off, I have been attempting to take a day off here or there, that doesn't work. I took this week off and feel good already, even though I am already hearing shit from my training group.

I"m not much on taking time off. I'd go in the gym and do EVERYTHING but the main exercises if it were me.

I'd really start to examine your training and see what might be causing these injuries.

Weather is changing too...could cause problems.
