Anybody got any experience rehabbing a pulled lower lumber? Managed to pull mine during a max BP attempt on Thursday, and it's still feeling uncomfortable and stiff today.

I think I fractured my hand. I was at a party last night and just walking and hit the corner of the table on the top of it. I got a really bad sharp pain and thought nothing of it, that is, until the pain lasted the rest of the night. It hurts to make a fist, it hurts to put fingers together, movement in thumb is good. I slept overnight still hurts today, and I woke up with horrible pain last night.

How long will this last? What can I do for the pain? Should I go to a doctor if it lasts longer? Should I attempt to use it or not? Heat or Ice? A535?

Anyways, fucking most retarded injury ever.

If you think you fractured a bone you should absolutely see an orthopedic doc.

If it heals weird either they have to rebreak it (which is going to be more pain all over again) or you could end up with a semi-disabled hand

The first posture deficiency that we will look at is how the hips, knees, and ankles/feet are orientated. When you are relaxed in the standing position, optimally they should all be pointed forward. The hips should not be externally rotated (so that the knees and feet point out). The knees should always point forward in line with the feet. The ankles should be oriented forward like the hips.

Definitely wasn't fracture. No idea what it was, still very stiff and mild pain to make a fist. Managed to go to gym with caution this morning. Have been icing it and using a535 and trying to push it a little to keep it unstiff and exercised.

Doing normal everyday things bring sharp pain, such as taking a wallet out of my back pocket. I'm not sure of the movement, a straight fist/grip is decent now, but putting on the squeezeable clamps hurt alot so I just used my left hand. Must be a side squeezing action. Have no idea what would this is lol, I think it should be okay within two days just need to be cautious.

A friend pointed my feet are more externally rotated than most. This got me thinking and watching and it's definitely true.

Noticed this in the lower body dysfunctions section after re-reading:
It's hard to estimate the amount but I know when I consciously force them straight as I walk it takes focus and feels funny. Is this just a soft tissue work kind of thing or do I need to be doing a specific exercise? Just trying to dig deeper trying to rehab my SI joint. Thanks!

Hand is 100% after 3 days, not sure if it was a strain or sprain or what.

So ive had rotary impingement for probably a year now.

yesterday, i had a FMS (2nd time performing it), and scored 15 on it. pretty decent i guess

today, i had my first personal training session with a functional training practitioner. one of the things i did was a SMR on my pec minor with a tennis ball. never did a SMR before and i can actually notice a HUGE difference on my chest being a lot "looser"

Wow that's terrible

So I was hoping not to have to post here but it's been like two weeks...

After a few games of volleyball, all warmed up, we decided to play four-square. Random I know. Anyways, I was bent over in a deep straddle and I reached to far forward. The best I can describe it was a pop in my mind... there was nothing audible but it was like a twang or twinge or something deep in my butt. I'm guessing where one of my left hamstrings inserts maybe? So that's my weak/deficient hamstring I've been working on too... I thought I just had a strain but it's still bothering me during light activity on and off so maybe its more severe. Everything is functional it is just sore and hurts despite resting it the past few weeks. At this point do I want to continue resting it? Massaging it daily?

Quite a few injuries recently. A partially torn psoas from deadlifting, a strained anterior delt from doing standing OHP with shit form for a final rep, and something along the lines of COPD from trying to lift again after coming back from a brutal chest cold while I was still sick (that one is 100% an effect of me being a dumbass, my doctor and I agree).

Hoping to look towards 2013 with a different mindset and keep myself injury free ;_;
