Thanks for the replies above. I'll schedule a visit to the doctor's office. I think it may be some kind of mild inflammation in my hands.

Not really an injury, but on my lower left leg I have a small bump that seems to be hollow or maybe just air. Also it only shows when i am putting pressure on that leg. If i'm sitting you can't see it.

Here is a picture -

probably just fluid sac? i believe you can get them in tendon sheaths, looks like a kinda odd spot for it though. i've seen them on people's wrists etc.

@eshlow, i think ive slipped my SI joint. I know you had a great writeup on it a while back when decaf was having problems with his, but im at a loss for how to find it. Tips?

Also, i'm on my phone now but i can describe the general problem and do a better writeup this afternoon.

Three days ago i woke up with shooting pains thhrough the top if my foot, any time i put pressure on the ball of the foot. I tried to i did ice, anti inflams, and a little comoression too but continued to practice on it. Stayed the same for the next day. That night i stood up out of a chair and noticed my hip felt "funny" like it had cme forwaprd out of place. This has happened before and usually goes awapy in a few hours oe apfter sleeping. In the morning i woke up with the same footpain (and by now i am limping a bit which i suppose created the problem in the firstp place) and experiencing mild radiating pain in the lateral side of my left knee (my left knee has never had problems, my right is bad) and the front of my hip socket. I continue thriugh my day, skipping oractice AND my lift, but it only gets worse.

This morning i woke up with pain in the same places (top of foot, outside of knee, front of hip) that i would rate a four. It affects my walking but unless i need to run, it isnt a "grit my teeth and suffer." In addition, the bottom of my foot has gone to pins and needles or numbness back and forth for an hour and a half now.

There is definitely somehig out of place in my hip, and i cant think of anything else that has bothered me in the last few days. I will clean this post up and attach pictures when i get to a pc.


Whenever it starts bothering me i just pop it back into place which it sounds like yours did on its own. I just lie on my back and put a foam roll between my knees (anything roughly 1-2 feet long should work) and squeeze together really hard untill i hear/feel the pop.

I've been doing SS for about 5 months until I injured my back a month ago. I have reviewed the back article from eat move improve and am doing a lot better after a month off from squats and deadlifts. I have starting squatting again comfortably and am reworking my form. My deadlift, however, is still uncomfortable. I feel weak, tired, and sore after, even without any weight on the bar. Should I start trying to pull sumo instead? Or should I just take more time off?

The injury was most likely a slipped disc. It hurts in the spine, about level with the PSIS. I'm pretty certain it was from dipping my butt down at the bottom of the squat to try to reach parallel. The pain is almost gone, but it hurts when i flex the spine a lot when trying to put on shoes. I'm seeing a chiropractor later today, so I'll probably have a better diagnosis soon. I will work on getting videos of my form for deadlifts and squats.

Yes and I still continue to do them. Should I take more time off from regular lifting and keep doing mobility stuff?

Hi I just wanted to ask what people thought of the advice given in this video. I have a strange pain in my hip when I reach depth with my squats and I have poor flexibility. This video seems to address the problem and the seated stretch and the foam rolling exercise really seem to hit the spot.

Yes.

If you have access to a gym try some reverse hyperextensions. that exercise is generally pretty good for rehabbing the back,.

I think have a really small muscle tear on my inner quad. Doesn't hurt on squatting, just on heavy sumo deadlifts.
Injury feels really small and I actually didn't notice pain until after training. It also feels slightly tight. My powerlifting meet is on november 26.

Do you think its possible to just keep normal training and applying ice after training till the 26th is doable? I understand this will make healing time increase dramatically afterwards. Obviously i'll keep re evaluating if it gets worse.

Medicine/supplements recomended would be great aswell. Only taking portein shakes and creatine (2nd week) currently.

Nothing really is going to help strains except rest and then proper rehab....

I mean you can try to work through it and see what happens though

Had a bump on my left collar bone for a few weeks now, thought it would go away by now and its really bitch on my cleans/front squats. Just a little bit of a bump on it towards the middle of my chest that doesnt bother me unless i apply pressure to it. Even if still applying pressure the initial pain goes away after a second. Not really sure what to make of it, there's no bruising or anything.

1. Google a pic and mark where it hurts.
Where the black circle is.
[image loading]

2. What exercises hurt? Which shoulder articulations hurt? Make sure you check both with passive motion and resistive/active motion.
Chin-ups. Shoulders are fine.

3. What type of pain is it? Burning? Ache? Tingling? Sharp?
Continuous sharp pain in my neck.

4. What would you rate the pain at on a 0/10 scale? 0 being no pain, 10 being go to the emergency room.
When it's at its worst, probably 8. Hurts too much for me to function normally. Had to lie down today for a few minutes before I could tolerate the pain.

5. Acute or chronic (chronic more than ~6-8 weeks)? What date was onset? How has the pain improved since the initial injury?
Chronic. It gets worse when I push myself during chin-ups. Been hurting on and off since I started training 3 months ago.

6. Have you been training through pain? If so, how long?
Sort of, for a couple of months.

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's in my neck muscles.

8. What have you been doing for recovery purposes?
Nothing much. Pain goes away after a while.

9. What seems to help? What seems to make it worse? Is it constant? Does it increase/decrease with certain activities?
Just relaxing seems to help the pain go away. Massages seem to do nothing. Chin-ups is the only thing that makes it worse.

10. Check the tissue quality of the surrounding muscles. Which ones are tight? Which ones are tender? Is there any swelling?
It's only on the right side, left side feels fine. The muscle that connects to the back of my skull seems to be the one that hurts. Can't feel any swelling.

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?
After chin-ups it hurts like hell sometimes, other times it's just a small headache. I feel fine as long as I don't do chin-ups.

12. Any previous injury history?
Hurt my neck practicing back flips once in the same place. Was also in a car accident but I hurt my knees that time so it's probably not relevant.

13. How's your posture?
Not that great.

14. What is your current workout routine for that bodypart? Do you play any sports?
Don't work out my neck in particular I played soccer on and off but not playing any sports atm.

15. Any other information I should be aware of or that comes to mind that may help?
When I do chin-ups, my solar plexus also hurts. Similar pain as my neck but it doesn't last as long.

Are you craning your neck doing chins?

If so, change your form.

This is pretty odd though.. if it gets worse you might wanna get it checked out by a doc or PT

See what happens doing that.

The fact that only chins are aggravating it is a bit suspicious... likely some sort of form/technique issue?

I've deloaded atm but my highest work set was 42.5lb. When it hurt yesterday, I was only doing 35lb and it wasn't that hard so I find that a bit odd.

Oh, I just realized I put the weights in a backpack instead of using a chain like what most people do. Would that be bad for my neck?

Just tried 5 chin-ups at BW and it still hurt, but nowhere near as bad as last night. Been having a dull pain at 1-2 all day but it went up one step after the BW chin-ups.

2. What exercises hurt? Which shoulder articulations hurt? Make sure you check both with passive motion and resistive/active motion.
Chin-ups. Shoulders are fine.

3. What type of pain is it? Burning? Ache? Tingling? Sharp?
Continuous sharp pain in my neck.

4. What would you rate the pain at on a 0/10 scale? 0 being no pain, 10 being go to the emergency room.
When it's at its worst, probably 8. Hurts too much for me to function normally. Had to lie down today for a few minutes before I could tolerate the pain.

5. Acute or chronic (chronic more than ~6-8 weeks)? What date was onset? How has the pain improved since the initial injury?
Chronic. It gets worse when I push myself during chin-ups. Been hurting on and off since I started training 3 months ago.

6. Have you been training through pain? If so, how long?
Sort of, for a couple of months.

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's in my neck muscles.

8. What have you been doing for recovery purposes?
Nothing much. Pain goes away after a while.

9. What seems to help? What seems to make it worse? Is it constant? Does it increase/decrease with certain activities?
Just relaxing seems to help the pain go away. Massages seem to do nothing. Chin-ups is the only thing that makes it worse.

10. Check the tissue quality of the surrounding muscles. Which ones are tight? Which ones are tender? Is there any swelling?
It's only on the right side, left side feels fine. The muscle that connects to the back of my skull seems to be the one that hurts. Can't feel any swelling.

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?
After chin-ups it hurts like hell sometimes, other times it's just a small headache. I feel fine as long as I don't do chin-ups.

12. Any previous injury history?
Hurt my neck practicing back flips once in the same place. Was also in a car accident but I hurt my knees that time so it's probably not relevant.

13. How's your posture?
Not that great.

14. What is your current workout routine for that bodypart? Do you play any sports?
Don't work out my neck in particular I played soccer on and off but not playing any sports atm.

15. Any other information I should be aware of or that comes to mind that may help?
When I do chin-ups, my solar plexus also hurts. Similar pain as my neck but it doesn't last as long.



Are you craning your neck doing chins?

If so, change your form.

This is pretty odd though.. if it gets worse you might wanna get it checked out by a doc or PT

Sometimes. I'll keep my head neutral all the time from now on.
Do you think doing stretches and a few chin-ups at BW will help?


See what happens doing that.

The fact that only chins are aggravating it is a bit suspicious... likely some sort of form/technique issue?

I've deloaded atm but my highest work set was 42.5lb. When it hurt yesterday, I was only doing 35lb and it wasn't that hard so I find that a bit odd.

Oh, I just realized I put the weights in a backpack instead of using a chain like what most people do. Would that be bad for my neck?

Just tried 5 chin-ups at BW and it still hurt, but nowhere near as bad as last night. Been having a dull pain at 1-2 all day but it went up one step after the BW chin-ups.


Hmm.. could be an issue with the neck or thoracic outlet. Would suggest getting it checked out by a PT if it's bothering you even when you're not exercising

eshlow, im not sure if this is the right place to post this, but do you have any knowledge about ergonomic computer chair set up to avoid RSI? I have rotator cuff tendonitus, or possibly tendonosis in my left shoulder. I read the tendonitus article you linked and it seems to be helping, albeit slowly. Id like to avoid aggravating the injury by placing undue stress on the tendons in my shoulder, but the info ive come across so far is contradicting. Basically, what kind of posture is best for gaming? Should I be sitting up straight without the use of arm rests/back rests etc as if I was on a stool, or are those things good? thnx for any advice you can give..
