pretty sure i have/am developing De Quervain syndrome in my right thumb from some combination of rugby/lifting/cell phone use. It's a lot more swollen and tender than the left counterpart. Any suggestions for relief/treatment? | ||

For the cardio part of my workouts I have just been using the cross trainer and bike until i can get this knee sorted since they are low impact sorta things compared to the treadmill or running in the road. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to fix it? I've done a bit of looking online I already do stretches before and after working out. | ||

Does anybody have any experience with this type of injury? How much longer do I have to wait before I can get back in the (home) gym? It hurts to raise up my arm above shoulder level and any pulling movement also causes pain, so I've been very hesitant to go back to my routine (a variation of SS), which focuses heavily on compound movements. Thanks in advance. Hard to say... basically keep doing as much mobility work as you can to keep the area moving but not at the expense of making the pain worse. You can try massage as well.... heat too if there's no swelling as well On August 08 2013 09:31 igay wrote: Guys the other morning I went to run and I got a sharp pain in my lower knee it only hurts when I run I can't even feel that my knee is sore only once I run, looks as if I have 'runners knee' For the cardio part of my workouts I have just been using the cross trainer and bike until i can get this knee sorted since they are low impact sorta things compared to the treadmill or running in the road.

Massage as well and general mobility work. Hard to say though... I had a De Quervain's case that was pretty much not De Quervains and just an issue of wrist joint mobilizations fixing it. If it's truely tenosynovitis then it may need mobility work, eliminating aggravating exercises, potentially eccentrics, joint mobs, etc | ||

+ Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/JeMDkj7.jpg) I think it's because I go hook grip mostly, but I go mixed grip when I go really heavy and I probably favor my left side. I'm trying to work on that. Eventually I can warm up/loosen up enough to where it doesn't hurt anymore and I can get on with things, but it sucks to deal with. What's the treatment for this, massage, foam rolling and lacrosse balls? Also, Is this the SI joint I always hear people talking about? | ||

D: I would say don't attempt anything max deadlift/clean until you hear back from Eshlow. One of my biggest regrets is not preventing my SI joint issues... I've been off squats/deads for a year now and it still causes pain  | ||

Foam roll/lax ball/massage/stretch/strengthen the area. | ||

Little ranty but I can (fortunately) say this has been one of the hardest things for me. I got a ton of satisfaction weightlifting and a lasting injury is just depressing. I went from never squatting to getting 300lbx2 in 3 months and I want that back. I know phyre had similar issues and he's seen some success recently. My recommendation is to get it checked out by a PT if you can afford it and not to wait a year before finally doing it. At that point the recovery is normally much, much longer. | ||

I've been having some kind of lower back pain for years I think, and have not addressed them until recently... After reading the EMI article about lower back pain, I think it can classified as "Bulging, Herniation and Spinal issues", but not sure yet since I need more sample and testing... (and probably professional diagnosis at the end of course) Let's see, the pain is in the lumbar area, maybe somewhere between L1 to L5. It tends to appear these days when I'm sitting the whole day in a bad position or slouching in the sofa for a long period of time (have bad posture that need to be corrected)... The pain is a little noticeable (not to say barely) when I stand up, but it's way more noticeable and uncomfortable when I lay down on any flat surface (bed, floor). I don't really know how to describe that feeling of discomfort, it emanates from the lumbar area, from the spine, maybe nerve-like discomfort (have experienced back soreness and it's nothing alike). One thing I've noticed is that when I'm doing static stretches (no pain at the beginning of the session), I get the pain after doing stretches where I need to compress my upper body with my legs, like pikes, pancakes, straddles and alike. But since I finish the session with a bridge hold, the pain immediately dissipates after the bridge... I wonder if this could be caused from continuous falling on my butt as a kid, carrying too heavy of a backpack in the schools days or hereditary? | ||

I'm not Mordek, but like he mentioned I've been having the same problem for about the same amount of time. Preventing them? Foam roll and stretch the shit out of your glutes, lower back, and hip flexors. Stretch them at least 3 times a day. The main contributors to my SI problems were tight glute/piriformis muscles on my right side, and tight hip flexors/psoas on my left side. Additionally but less importantly, address muscle imbalances. My left hamstring was stronger than my right, so I was constantly drifting to the side and rotating a bit on my heavy squats and deadlifts. I also had weak obliques in general - I would do more side planks, and a lot of iso-lateral stuff to balance out those weaknesses if I were able to go back to last summer. Finally I tried to progress too fast. I hit 345 for a triple on deadlift at the start of last august, and told myself I could hit 405 for a single by the end of september. I started doing too many different pulls from the floor (deadlift and 1-2 variations each day), too often (2-3 times/week). Even though I was very careful with form, it was just too much. So the end message is slow the hell down and do all the little things that you can let yourself forget about. | ||

PT basically had me correcting anterior tilt (control). I think this is a factor but I honestly didn't feel very helped during my visits unfortunately :\ | ||

"Go for it bro" Injured my left knee. Fucking alcohol. Does anyone have a good full body stretching routine? I believe my hamstrings and hip flexors are creating imbalances which make me overcompensate with my right side. I won't be squatting for some time tho | ||

I don't get it from typing on the computer or being in that position, actually I get it more if I hold my phone or extend my arms a certain way when I'm lying down. | ||
