I woke up from a good sleep last year, got up refreshed and ready for work. First time in years that it happened. Stood up and did a big yawn and stretch, then felt a sharp ripping feeling in my back. I tore a muscle stretching. I was 29 and it still wants to lock up today.

Bonus; tore it a year before almost to the day by literally just rolling over in bed. I felt it happen, said "aw fuck" and went back to sleep. Road trip to Maine and Martha's Vineyard cancelled because the pain was too intense to drive.

Sprained my back sneezing and the military medical officer insinuated that it is not possible and I was malingering... Hope that fella live a long life...

55 here, I'm a regular runner, not a problem, even ½ marathons. However, I can just be walking to work in the most comfortable shoes, and my ankle randomly gives out, I can't even move. 5 minutes later it's back to normal heh.

I went jogging, misstepped and then had back pains for the next 3 weeks. I walked like Quasimodo the first couple of days.

Every yawn comes with its own risk of dislocating my jaw.

I'm not the only one!?

Staying in shape has helped prevent most other silly injuries though.

My muscles are over flexible and even taking a big bite can do it. Also makes it easy to put back in place tho.

Yep, tore my meniscus in my knee a month ago shifting my weight standing still in my kitchen

I tore mine around age fifteen. I was kneeling in a garden helping a senior lady garden. Felt a weird pop when standing up. Didn't even realize anything was particularly wrong until my knee stopped supporting me later in the day.

yoga is real good for this tbh

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 day ago

This. Just a bit of stretching and light exercise 10 mins a day can do miracles.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Yep. Life changing.

I dislike yoga more than I like not having some micro injuries

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

I still remember chugging a Gatorade after work one summer and feeling like someone straight jump kicked me in the chest.

I hurt myself with a secateur!

I made a false move when picking it up.
