Depends. If it is what I described and you allow too much time between now and seeing a professional then it can possibly take months to rehab. On the other hand, if you pop out a facet or rib and get it fixed within a week usually it takes less than a week to heal up and be ready to again.
This is just those two particular injuries though. If it's something else (and I'm just guessing... albeit educated guessing) then yeahhh. That's why in general I recommend seeing professionals for this type of stuff anyway

Good god, getting my weight in protein (260) without some whey protein or muscle milk is fucking hard lol. I had two 8oz bison steaks, an 8oz salmon filet, 5 glasses of jersey cow whole milk and 6 oz of turkey breast and still didn't hit it rofl. I gotta get to the store and get some wheyyyyyyyyyy.

Squat up to 240 pounds, bench at 190, overhead press at 130, and deadlift at 300. Feeling good and don't even think I'll stall on any of these lifts anytime soon... feeling especially strong on my squat. Current goals for the end of SS:
310 squat
225 bench
160 overhead
400 deadlift
My bench goal is pretty optimistic. I have really long arms which screws me up a bit on the bench. I'm trying to decide if I should cut down to 10% BF after SS or do Madcow's. I'm currently leaning more towards Madcow's because I figure I can just cut over a couple of months before heading to Okinawa on vacation :D.

So I posted in here and never really updated, lol.
Anyway, great success so far, even if not entirely in the way I planned. I haven't been getting nearly as much exercise as I'd hoped to aside from Dagorhir, but I'm losing weight regardless. I think it's just because I'm eating so much less.
I've lost about 3 pounds since I first posted in here, and I plan to keep that going!
Originally I was hoping to lose weight for ComicCon so I could cosplay and really feel comfortable, but turns out that my costuming skills aren't up to the task, and there's no way my costume will be done in time. So it looks like I've got a bit more time to go! No idea what my target weight is, but there's no set deadline at the moment sadly.
So to sum things up, I've only lost weight by being a bit anorexic, lol. Whatever works, o.o;

Yeah, I had that confirmed earlier in the thread :p I'm just confused as to why I'm getting so many of them, I don't feel like I'm making massive gains and none of my friends have them.

What is your height and current weight?
Out lifts are very similar, deadlift and squat is the same, my bench and overhead is lower due a rotator cuff injury in my left shoulder, just curious to know how you much currently weight and rough bf% if you know.

That tuna looks really awful. I eat canned salmon (for salads etc), its kind of expensive here. $2.50 / can (95grams) but it looks, smells and tastes delicious!

Height: 6'3
Weight: 205 pounds
BF%: 15-17%~ ... I haven't measured it in a reliable way lately, but calipers give me 16%.
Are you sure our lifts are the same? I think you may be comparing my goals to your currents :D.

Freaky
Age: 24 I'll add weight and crap later but i'm ~ 6'1-6'2 and ~ 150lbs
Starting Date: September 11th 2010 || Goal Date: November 11th 2010
Weight goals -- Gain muscle mass
Training goals -- Work on general stabilization workouts for most body parts
Nutrition goals -- After Ramadan, I want to eat well in general which means 4-6 meals a day
Misc goals -- ~4-5 months ago I had a pretty bad ankle injury while playing soccer, you can read about it in my blog here. I have lost a lot of weight because I basically didn't do much for 3 months. My ankle needs ~9-12 months based on the surgeon's opinion to fully heal or before I have to operate since I have bone bruising.
My goal is to try and get in decent enough shape to be able to keep up with the varsity players at my university by January. So my program will be go something like this:
~6 weeks - Stabilization program
~7 weeks Strength program
~7 week Power program
All of this is done while I keep practicing soccer (football) and working on my ankle slowly and gaining weight slowly again. I'm a hard gainer for sure but I never had problems with gaining weight while working out. I plan to work hard and take my time with things as I don't want to give myself unrealistic goals.
I already am able to run/walk do any movements with my ankle, but I have lost a lot of my legs (chicken legs ftl ) so I want to work on my legs while making sure I stay strong/light/flexible enough to do well in the sport I practice.
I was very hesitant to post this here because I know I'll forget about it after a week because I'm so busy, so please bear with me as I am extremely busy with work, school etc. I will post each week. If any of you plays soccer and has advice on training regiments or anything regarding flexibility and so on please inform me... I'll read it and appreciate it.

With 2 litres milk it comes to...idk but it should be more than ample. The BB.com calculator says you need an inhuman amount of protein but I will read up on that unless someone can quick-answer me. The only problem with tuna-mayonaise is it contains no fat or carbs so I have a bit of white bread with it, although it does makes the taste worse  (Obviously I need to work out my calory intake anyway so will deal with this)
err...
you can eat good tasting and healthy food too...
if you're a baller you can get tuna steaks and sear them so that they have a nice crust on the outside but are still pink on the inside. omg so good. add salt + pepper + chives. or soy sauce + wasabi.
but yeah people think to get buff you gotta eat all these healthy boring foods but nah, you can find healthy fun foods.
