Thanks big relief to hear that... Glad to know it's nothing serious, the stuff I read off random forums have no structure nor anybody who has established themselves as being educated like you.
Of course the first person I go to is my PT buddy but him being busy with studying he nonchalantly tells me to sit on my hand and turn in the opposite direction of the pain and listen to my shoulder 2x 30sec every hour and I'd be fine. Me being in pain I literally thought that a disc had popped and that mobility work was not gonna cut it lol.
I asked him again today after my initial post and he said it could have been from being so exhausted after we went for 1RM on the bench press, continued to bench press for an hour to failure. I don't even understand how that even works. How do I prevent strains from happening?

Read my strains article it answers that too:

Generally when muscles are fatigued or put into awkward positions. Most specifically in the neck if you deviate it away from neutral with a craned back head during exercises

So I've had a problem with my leg for about 8 years. Back then, I ran track-- I'll assume most of you guys know that on of the risks associated with track is getting spiked, e.g. getting your lower legs or whatever torn up by the spikes on the bottom of track shoes when accidents happen. Anyways, I was running either 200 or 400 and there was a big trip-up and long story short, I got spiked pretty bad across my right shin.
I kept running track until about Junior year in high school when I quit due to academics and stuff. I began to do a little recreational running and stuff, but I began to notice that my shin would feel like it would fall asleep if I ran for a little while. The time for the sensation to start occurring varies quite a bit. If I go running, it starts in like 10 minutes. One day while playing basketball it kicked in pretty fast, but another day it didn't. I feel like it might be getting worse though.
Any suggestion what it might be? Should I go in and see a doctor?

I'd get it evaluated by an orthopedic doc
Could be any number of nerve related or blood flow related things that you would want to have checked out

Recently (the past month or so) I've been getting a pain in my lower back, right above the ass but usually off to the right side, when lifting the bar out of the rack to squat. My squat isn't affected (I don't think) but it's a quick, sharp (not too severe) pain and I'd like to... avoid it. I think maybe it's my way of unracking the bar, but I get my body as tight as I can and stand up out of the rack. The bar is about 2-3 inches above my nipples. I wonder if that's too low/high and that affects it? I also wonder if I'm unbalancing the bar with my hand position/body position if I usually only feel it on my right side... :S Hmm.

Over the SI joint area?
Google marked pic would help as well as answering the questions in the OP.
Mobility work may be needed. If you have a jolting impact within the past month or two that could also contribute

Ah sorry ill post a pic when i get home from work.

Bleh, slipped on the ice at work today carrying my tools and rolled my ankle while falling backwards. Skipped gym today cause I was planning on today legs today. Doesn't feel like it needs any special care, but there's definitely some pain in the ankle when putting weight on my left foot. Figure it'll be feeling better in a couple of days? I don't want to take too many days off but I don't want to be squatting and leg pressing with a bad ankle. Maybe I'll just rotate and do arms or something...

The safe default response is pain-free movement with the affected area. Move your foot around often to help with the healing as long as it's not painful.

Anyone ever get RSI or something like that in their left elbow (kb arm) from playing sc2? I never had this before, maybe something to do with my position lately.

Nerve glides, massage your muscles, and work on your mobility and pain free ROM

Eshlow, I kind of have a question on how to prevent future injuries in my neck. I have cervical scoliosis because of eye problems. It's an unrelated condition, but it caused me to tilt my head as a kid to block one of my eyes and let my dominant eye take over. This causes me to tweak my neck pretty often when I do exercises like overhead pressing. Do you know of any stretches/exercises that could correct this?
|
Welp, I think I've given myself some RSI tightness in my neck and traps from mouse use. Probably will just stop for a few days.

don't know if this is an injury or what it is:
when i play starcraft 2 (left hand keyboard, right hand mouse). after 1 game, my right shoulder feels numb.
I can still do anything with my shoulder but it feels so heavy while moving it
doesn't anyone know what this might be?
i've had this for a while now

Depends on what type of scoliosis you have.. there's lots of different types, Generally speaking you want to aim for good posture so stretching your neck whatever way to get you into a better or more neutral position without aggravating your neck

Good posture all the time! And get up and move around during games.
Make sure you're not in an awkward position when playing as well

Same thing as above. You're probabyl in a weird position. You don't want your shoulder to be way forward reaching for the mouse. Put everything in a neutral position.

I would suggest doing as many exercises as possible with a mirror in front of you. It can be EXTREMELY difficult to adjust posture while on the fly, but if you reduce the weight it often allows you to concentrate more on the form.
If necessary, mark two spots on the ground so you know you are facing perfectly perpendicular to the wall, then ensure your head is perfectly straight in the mirror all through the motion--really pay attention to what it feels like to maintain that posture. Personally, after a few weeks of this, I managed to correct a very painful issue in my right shoulder by paying careful attention to its position at all times through an overhead dumbbell press (found out I was adducting my shoulder along transverse plane while externally rotating my hand).
Or.. you could always do the Mike Tyson neck bridges if you are incredibly brave...
