Ya’ll need to add ”walk an hour”, “eat a salad”, and “do calisthenics” to your daily routines.
And never stop doing it. One lapse or moment of weakness and bamm… back to the physio.
Constant vigilance 🙃
Not true at all wtf. If lapse is like a year sure
You’re quite right! The body thankfully does have some margin before it all goes downhill. I was exaggerating a tad to emphasize the vigilance aspect.
Although I do have older aunts and uncles who do need this level of high bodily maintenance.
(Not sure on your stance on Mr C.K but this bit lives rent free in my head on this topic Soz, couldn’t find a better link)
If by “one lapse” you mean “stop doing it for like a year”…
But yes I did that second part obviously
TBF I’ve been choking on water since I was a wee lad. I just drink too aggressively. A drinking problem, of sorts.
Drinking too hard is when you accidentally swallow too much at the same time, painfully forcing it down. I fainted once by doing this…
ohhh right. I do that, too. But not to the fainting level of effort.
You’ll get there with no effort, just give it time
Tap on the back
I stumbled a few months back stepping over a rope that was about fifteen centimeters off the ground and cracked a rib or something. I didn’t even fall, just kinda leaned forward the wrong way a bit. Pain for weeks.
Something similar happened to my husband! Threw his back out by slipping and not falling on ice 😂
Maybe we should be trying less hard to not hurt ourselves. 😝
Or try harder.
Go full bubble boy.
My worst mountain biking injury was because I looked down at my back tire and pulled the SHIT out of a muscle in my upper back.
And I used to crash a lot. The muscle pull was worse
I’ve had light vertigo for 2 months because I sat up too fast in bed. It’s fucking horrible.
Had a bag at the head of my bed, woke up, still laying down, reached over my head to grab something out of it, went to pull back “down” and tore my rotator cuff. I was 20.
Hope I die peacefully in my sleep like my grandad.
Not screaming like the passengers in his car.
If you’ve never sneezed and thrown your back out, count your blessings.
A few months ago, I pinched a nerve in my neck because I picked up a shampoo bottle wrong.
I’ve swallowed water the wrong way and had coughing fit that cramped my gouche.
I hope it never happens again, but I’m sure instances like that will increase.
Happens to me, when I’m too lazy to really sit up in bed, when I want a sip of water during a short wake up
The cramping is hell…
Oh yeah that’s happened. I had like a minor back strain already, took me a moment to stand up. In the middle of that process, I sneezed. Huge mistake.
I drank water too hard.
Untag me, please.
Remember all those injuries you brushed off when you were a kid? They’re baaaack…
And they’re PISSED
Crying in Ehlers-Danlos. I was too bendy for my own good, and now I’m none bendy, left pain. All that is left is pain.
I am currently lying down, not because I prefer the floor, my because I lay down to stretch a bit, and my back has now completely locked up. I’m not joking: I physically cannot get up, and a doctor is on the way. I’m not even 30 yet…
I need an update. Did you make it off the floor?
Made it off the floor and over to the sofa (with help). The doctor told me the issue was likely muscular (not directly caused by a prolapse in my back that I’m getting look ed at for). He gave me a bunch of painkillers and basically told me to munch those and move as much as possible, and it should hopefully loosen up In a couple of days.
I’m honestly glad to hear you’re alright.
Thanks :) the seas will soon be safe again!
I would have thought the best aquaman would be more flexible…
I’m out of my element, on dry land. Once the doctor gets here I’ll just have them waterboard me for a couple minutes and I should be ok
Glad to hear you have a reputable spinal sturgeon and not some silly jellyfish selling snake oil.
*sea snake oil
I’m sat with an ice pack on my knee so I totally gey it
yoga is real good for this tbh
This. Just a bit of stretching and light exercise 10 mins a day can do miracles. Edit: He said, and just one day after tore all muscles in his shoulder and arm from scratching his butt while walking.
Yep. Life changing.
I dislike yoga more than I like not having some micro injuries
Hey if you type
beginner stretchesinto YouTube do any of them look like you won’t hate them?Random example:
Genuinely dislike stretching. I probably wouldn’t if I did them, but starting sucks most
We could do one crappy painful one tomorrow for sixty seconds and eventually see if you’re right on “probably”, here actually:
Voice assistant, set alarm for 1 PM (Pacific) called stretch | Kusi
OK! Thank you, I will move myself esp after some gym dude said something to me like “if you never exercise in your life but you at least stretch” something about better when older. Doin’ it for me thx 2 u (AKA no pressure 😎)
this thread is giving me an urge to exercise and eat salad
I ate a salad wrong last month, stabbed my self in the soft pallet with a lettuce steam and had a sore throat for 2 weeks.
But instead I’ll probably sit on my ass and have pizza tonight.
I mean, it’s Sunday.
we will get started on monday (i swear)
Next next next next next next Monday, am I right?
next one, no excuses.
Exactly, the first Monday that has an “R” in it.
I once fractured my fibula blowing out a candle. I was, like, 17. You’re telling me it’s going to get WORSE?!
fractured fibula
blowing out a candle
How the FUCK did you manage to break your LEG by blowing AIR through your LIPS??
It’s called talent, learn it.
It was one of those tall, thin church candles that you normally put out with a long handheld suffocator. Me, I tried to just jump for it. Came down awkwardly on one of the thing’s feet, lost my balance, and my leg crumpled in under me as I fell.
Always said organized religion is a dangerous thing…
It may already be too late for you.
I messed up my back today putting on my shoes. I may be crippled for life now. Not sure, but it feels like it.
Is this shit why boomers are always so good damn angry? Ffs I’m 35.
I’m starting to get it. But I’m a trooper and I’m not gonna blame it on the kids just yet. I’m just an out of shape alcoholic. What do I know?
But also, they should get off my lawn and their raps music is too loud. And their haircuts make them look like a discount ear swab. /S
