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 ;_;  Definitely focus on recovery before you come back and go slowwww. I like to think of fitness as a multi-year project not just a super jump in and expect immediate changes. Though the immediate changes are indeed fun... too much just zaps you
Yeah I know, my mindset for this passed year has definitely been piss-poor other than on the persistence front. I need to start lifting smart. Too many shoulder pops and back snaps lol.

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? Sounds like a strain, especially if it's more in the muscle belly. Although it could be tendon if it's nearer to the insertion. Have you been utilizing the protocols in the article? http://www.eatmoveimprove.com/2010/01/on-muscle-strains/
Somehow I missed that one in my previous visits and didn't think to look. Seems like I've been following the protocol loosely, although I did play volleyball again three days later because it was that or forfeit the match...
That was very helpful and gave me guidance on the massage issue as I wasn't sure how much was too much etc. Thanks! Now I have a more structured rehab regimen

TLDR; Played a game of football as quarterback 8 days ago, took a couple of hits. Stiffness and pain in the back of the knee while stretching leg or standing on it.
+ Show Spoiler +1. Back of the left knee. (Hollow of the knee?)
2. What exercises hurt?
Stretching my leg out or standing on one leg
3. What type of pain is it? Burning? Ache? Tingling? Sharp?
When I stretch the leg out it feels more like an ache and more spread out over the area. When I stand on one leg it's more sharp and concentrated.
4. What would you rate the pain at on a 0/10 scale? 0 being no pain, 10 being go to the emergency room.
I'm really bad at this, but 3-4 maybe.
5. Acute or chronic (chronic more than ~6-8 weeks)? What date was onset? How has the pain improved since the initial injury?
It happened during an american football game 8 days ago.
6. Have you been training through pain? If so, how long?
I had 90 minutes of handball pratice. Involves a lot of running and jumping off my left leg.
7. How deep is the pain? Is it more superficial tissues? Or does it seem to be more inside or around the joint? Describe it.
When stretching leg it's more stiff/sore and more superficial. When standing on one leg its concentrated a little deeper, still feels like muscular and not in the joint.
8. What have you been doing for recovery purposes?
Nothing
9. What seems to help? What seems to make it worse? Is it constant? Does it increase/decrease with certain activities?
Sitting still makes it worse. After walking around the "stretching pain" goes away. It still hurts while standing on one leg.
10. Check the tissue quality of the surrounding muscles. Which ones are tight? Which ones are tender? Is there any swelling?
Seems okay.
11. How does it feel after exercise (if any)? How does it feel at the beginning of the day? How about the end of the day?
It felt stiff and sore after the pratice which was yesterday ( 7 days after pain started)
12. Any previous injury history?
A shoulder injury. A couple years back some knee stuff that had to do with too much jumping and running.
13. How's your posture?
Decent. I lean forward slightly nut nothing out of the ordinary.
14. What is your current workout routine for that bodypart? Do you play any sports?
I play american football and handball
15. Any other information I should be aware of or that comes to mind that may help?
I hurt the knee sometime during an american football game. Didn't really notice it during the game because of adrenaline etc. After coming out of the shower I was really stiff and sore, but I had also rolled my ancle so I was limping pretty hard from that and didn't think about the knee, I play quarterback so no jumping but I ran with the ball quite a lot.

Hmmm. Could be a lot of different things.
I would generally say to do lots of non-painful mobility work -- bending and straightening the ankle with and without the knee bent. Supine knee to chest. Target some self massage at the places where there's soreness and try to find knots in other areas around the muscles that are sore.
Heat if you want should be ok 8 days out to help relax muscles.

Talked to my team doctor, he said it's probably an overextension and it should be fine. I'm still a bit worried since it's been over 2 weeks now and it still hurts.

Filling this out for my girlfriend; this has been rather debilitating for her.
+ Show Spoiler +1. Google a pic and mark where it hurts. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/rzQRh.jpg) 2. What exercises hurt? Walking creates an extremely sharp line of pain at the location indicated in the picture; it triggers as the opposite leg swings forward (in other words, as the injured leg pushes back) 3. What type of pain is it? Burning? Ache? Tingling? Sharp? Sharp sudden pinching pain 4. What would you rate the pain at on a 0/10 scale? 0 being no pain, 10 being go to the emergency room. 8 5. Acute or chronic (chronic more than ~6-8 weeks)? What date was onset? How has the pain improved since the initial injury? Chronic; onset approximately three months ago. Pain improves temporarily with stretching & foam rolling, but always returns eventually. 6. Have you been training through pain? If so, how long? She's been training through pain since onset: cardio stuff on the elliptical, yoga, pilates 7. How deep is the pain? Is it more superficial tissues? Or does it seem to be more inside or around the joint? Describe it. Pain is deep within the muscle, along more or less a straight line through the entire glute, top to bottom. 8. What have you been doing for recovery purposes? Stretching, foam rolling, alternating ice & heat, acupuncture 9. What seems to help? What seems to make it worse? Is it constant? Does it increase/decrease with certain activities? The pain seems to diminish after recovery activities listed in #8, but always ends up coming back eventually. 10. Check the tissue quality of the surrounding muscles. Which ones are tight? Which ones are tender? Is there any swelling? She says the glute feels somewhat tight, but not significantly so. 11. How does it feel after exercise (if any)? How does it feel at the beginning of the day? How about the end of the day? Exercise doesn't seem to have much correlation with onset; sometimes she's fine after multiple consecutive exercise sessions, other times it's really bad the next day. Also no correlation with time of day. 12. Any previous injury history? Miscellaneous sprains and bruises, nothing major 13. How's your posture? Decent posture. She's been told she suffers from minor scoliosis, but has never been treated for it. 14. What is your current workout routine for that bodypart? Do you play any sports? As listed above; she used to run a lot but had to give it up because of this injury 15. Any other information I should be aware of or that comes to mind that may help?

Get her to a physical therapist.
I would guess most likely some type of SI dysfunction in combo with piriformis spasms or other deep gluteal muscle involvement.

I almost lost my life yesterday. Went snowboarding and according to my friend, the edge of my board caught some ice and I flipped through the air and landed headfirst into some rocks and more ice. At the speed I was going, had I not been wearing a helmet, my brains probably would have spilled all over the place. Even so, I consider myself remarkably lucky to be alive, because the helmet could only do so much.
So right now, I have a dull pain in my neck and back, which I'm going to see a chiropractor and an acupuncturist for, after I get an x-ray taken. Currently applying icy hot packs on it and got a lot of rest.
The other issue is that of my head. There's a slight throbbing pain in the left side of my head due to the concussion, and I plan on getting that checked out as well.
Furthermore, the entire left side of my face has been shredded from the ice/rocks. It's completely swollen, and I've been applying ice packs for hours now, but I'm not sure of what else I can do besides look for anti-inflammatory pills/aspirin. Any suggestions? I consider myself extremely lucky to have escaped from this ordeal in mostly one piece, but I'd rather not look like Two-Face or Zuko, especially considering I have 2 interviews on Monday.

Whatever the fuck you do, don't go into sunlight with a shredded face.
Also: glad you made it =)

1.
(If you can't see the image, just right click and open in a new tab. It will link you to the imgur page.)
2. What exercises hurt?
Bar curls, dumbbell curls, chin ups (palms facing towards yourself)
3. What type of pain is it? Burning? Ache? Tingling? Sharp?
Sharp pain when there I am doing the exercises above

5. Acute or chronic (chronic more than ~6-8 weeks)? What date was onset? How has the pain improved since the initial injury?
It has been around 5 months. Hurt it while playing (American) football. The pain is still the same.
6. Have you been training through pain? If so, how long?
Yep. Whole time. The only differences I am doing in my workouts is not doing the exercises above.
7. How deep is the pain? Is it more superficial tissues? Or does it seem to be more inside or around the joint? Describe it.
Feels like the bone that kinda sticks out of the wrist at that point is being pulled apart. No other way to describe it.
8. What have you been doing for recovery purposes?
I have not done any exercises that make it hurt.
9. What seems to help? What seems to make it worse? Is it constant? Does it increase/decrease with certain activities?
I don't know of anything that makes it better. It feels worse when I do those exercises though. It doesn't hurt unless pressure is put on it.

14. What is your current workout routine for that bodypart? Do you play any sports?
No workout for it right now. I lift weights and play american football.

Has been going on for 5 months. Hasn't gotten better. I still do cleans and the sort and bench and other lifts that may put pressure on it, but I don't feel it then. But this injury is making me very said because I can't do curls and chin ups and my biceps are looking pathetic
All help appreciated! Thanks in advance!

That's a tough one to tell since it could be TFCC, or strain on one of the tendons or the bone itself.
If you have some access to an orthopedic doc or physical therapist I would suggest getting a diagnosis by someone who can examine you which will get you a bit better idea on potential mechanisms so you can rehab effectively

1. Pic where it hurts and shit
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/uKnK19d.jpg)
2. What exercises hurt?
Squats, and anything involving the legs.
3. What type of pain is it? Burning? Ache? Tingling? Sharp?
Sharp.
4. What would you rate the pain at on a 0/10 scale? 0 being no pain, 10 being go to the emergency room.
7-8ish
5. Acute or chronic (chronic more than ~6-8 weeks)? What date was onset? How has the pain improved since the initial injury?
Acute, around last week thursday. It did get better, but when I tried squatting 100kg it started again, real bad.
6. Have you been training through pain? If so, how long?
A week, but it has never been this bad. (the pain)
7. How deep is the pain? Is it more superficial tissues? Or does it seem to be more inside or around the joint? Describe it.
If I push my glute or my ankle I can "trigger" the pain, if I massage for a while it kinds of numbs me too.
8. What have you been doing for recovery purposes?
Ice, and resting.
9. What seems to help? What seems to make it worse? Is it constant? Does it increase/decrease with certain activities?
Resting seems to help, massage too. If I start doing "heavy" stuff ankle starts to hurt and glute follows.
10. Check the tissue quality of the surrounding muscles. Which ones are tight? Which ones are tender? Is there any swelling?
Nope, no swelling. My legs are tight but may be because I just got back from the gym?
11. How does it feel after exercise (if any)? How does it feel at the beginning of the day? How about the end of the day?
At the begining of day it feels fine, I can feel it, but It doesn't bother me at all, when I exercise the pain starts to get bigger and bigger.
12. Any previous injury history?
Nothing serious, just a couple of minor injuries.
13. How's your posture?
I sit all day, so it's probably 60% shit, 40% good (in a 24h time spawn).
14. What is your current workout routine for that bodypart? Do you play any sports?
5x5 Every day squats.
15. Any other information I should be aware of or that comes to mind that may help?
Not that I know of? maybe this is cause of an overload? since I stopped training by mid-december and recently started again, and I went at it like mad (had no "going easy" mentality.).

I guess going in for the kill after an extended break period and doing the same exercise every day is to blame. Take it easy for a while and give your legs some rest time.

Does it increase/decrease with certain activities?Resting seems to help, massage too. If I start doing "heavy" stuff ankle starts to hurt and glute follows. 10. Check the tissue quality of the surrounding muscles. Which ones are tight? Which ones are tender? Is there any swelling?Nope, no swelling. My legs are tight but may be because I just got back from the gym? 11. How does it feel after exercise (if any)? How does it feel at the beginning of the day? How about the end of the day?At the begining of day it feels fine, I can feel it, but It doesn't bother me at all, when I exercise the pain starts to get bigger and bigger. 12. Any previous injury history?Nothing serious, just a couple of minor injuries. 13. How's your posture?I sit all day, so it's probably 60% shit, 40% good (in a 24h time spawn). 14. What is your current workout routine for that bodypart? Do you play any sports?5x5 Every day squats. 15. Any other information I should be aware of or that comes to mind that may help?Not that I know of? maybe this is cause of an overload? since I stopped training by mid-december and recently started again, and I went at it like mad (had no "going easy" mentality.).
Da fudge is going on with you?
All of those points on you hurt all at once or is it different movements for different points hurting or what?
If they got a physical therapist down there in venez you should definitely see one. That's a bit odd.
My likely guess is since many things are hurting something's probably going on with the sciatic nerve. It could be SI joint messing up things all the way down the chain or maybe something else along that line. Not sure over the Internet...

My glute hurts when I try to put pressure on it, when I do weighs (squats).
My Ankle hurts when I'm down in the squat and I'm getting out of the hole, like when my ass hits my legs?.
It's actually just the glute and the ankle, the middle point was just a bad hit walking and I hit a concrete thingy lol.

Do you have access to a foam roller you can use?

I have one PVC Pipe that I use seldomly.
You know where the ball in the ankle is (like the bone that looks like a ball, just above it near the center of the leg, but just above the forementioned part of the leg.

So anterior to the talus?
It hurts because of a pinching type movement when you go deep in the squat?
The mark on the picture above looks like posterior to the lateral malleolus?
Can you get a vid of you squatting?

1. Google a pic and mark where it hurts.
http://imgur.com/R3b1xJB
My left knee is bothering me a little bit, mostly towards the bottom/outside edge of the knee (image is flipped upside down for some reason on imgur).
2. What exercises hurt? Which shoulder articulations hurt? Make sure you check both with passive motion and resistive/active motion.
I have a hard time describing what makes it hurt. Here's what DOES NOT hurt -
-standing on one leg
-http://www.bikramyoga.com/BikramYoga/TwentySixPosturesDetails.php?pos=20
This definitely triggers it:
http://www.bikramyoga.com/BikramYoga/TwentySixPosturesDetails.php?pos=3
Sitting down for extended periods and pushing the clutch while driving can give me a twinge.
3. What type of pain is it? Burning? Ache? Tingling? Sharp?
'Sharp' but the level of pain is very low.
4. What would you rate the pain at on a 0/10 scale? 0 being no pain, 10 being go to the emergency room.
2-3
5. Acute or chronic (chronic more than ~6-8 weeks)? What date was onset? How has the pain improved since the initial injury?
I started to notice it about month 6 weeks ago (just before Christmas).
6. Have you been training through pain? If so, how long?
Yes; for about a month.
7. How deep is the pain? Is it more superficial tissues? Or does it seem to be more inside or around the joint? Describe it.
It feels like it's just below the knobby part of my knee on the front side.
8. What have you been doing for recovery purposes?
Stretching. I sat in the hot tub today and probably will again tomorrow. Trying to keep it elevated when I'm seated.
9. What seems to help? What seems to make it worse? Is it constant? Does it increase/decrease with certain activities?
It feels good during wide stance deep squats, but any squatting motion where the knee goes out over the foot it begins to hurt.
10. Check the tissue quality of the surrounding muscles. Which ones are tight? Which ones are tender? Is there any swelling?
Nothing feels out of the ordinary.
11. How does it feel after exercise (if any)? How does it feel at the beginning of the day? How about the end of the day?
It doesn't feel any better or worse after exercise. If anything it is slightly less noticeable afterwards.
12. Any previous injury history?
None
13. How's your posture?
Average (which isn't too good).
14. What is your current workout routine for that bodypart? Do you play any sports?
No sports. Barbell box squats (previously barbell back squats), lunges, deadlifts, barbell hip thrusts, pilates/yoga.
15. Any other information I should be aware of or that comes to mind that may help?
I plan on going to an orthopedic doctor asap (yay insurance!), but in the meant time any thoughts are appreciated. I have no history of injuries of any kind and I don't do any sports and have not done any sports in many years. I started lifting and exercising regularly last January, but almost always low/no impact type stuff - lifting, yoga, pilates, and the occasional foray into swimming. I spend a lot of time every day on my feet or seated.
I looked up the symptoms/signs of a torn meniscus and I don't think I fit as I have a full range of motion and the pain is very minor. The only reason it stands out from other types of soreness post-workout is because it's my knees and I'm paranoid of being in the middle of a lift and suddenly my knee explodes and I'm crippled for life.
EDIT:
Doctor says Patella Femoral Dysfunction, which is what I had guessed at after some googling. Not too serious!
