RE: 230,191 Total Team Reps (+3,885 added) - Steemit Daily 100+ Rep Fitness Challenge - Day # 97 - 3/13/18

in #health7 years ago

Had the night off team, was standing in hallway talking to my brother and went to stretch my arms above my head and it was like I pulled a muscle in my back or it got a really bad knot or something. Real bad burning pain. Has anyone else had this happen, it's a first for me can recall this ever happening before.

Sort:  

I get things like that happen to me all the time but I've been smashed up multiple times in road accidents. Sometimes you have to rest it if it's serious other times if it's something minor you can train through it. Obviously no-one can diagnose you over the internet but it does sound a bit like muscle spasm (which can be very painful)

Protect yourself at all costs, there's no point trying to force yourself back into something when you're in pain, take as much time as need off and ease back into training when you start again.

Good luck bro, I hope you're back in action soon.

Ahh ok so I'm not alone on this, I have had something similar happen in the past but never this bad. It was strange coz I wasn't exerting myself at all.
I tore a muscle in my neck about 9 months ago, and the pain was as bad as that.
I think I will rest up again tonight, just to be safe as it's still a little sore.

I think your right and it's a muscle spasm or a bad know or something, I don't think it's too serious though :)
I will be back to it tomorrow

Take it easy. You're doing calf raises for a week per Dr. @steemmatt.

Oh damn how did I miss this comment, thanks doc ;)

Oh man that sucks brother! Yeah, I have had it happen to me a few time normally when I my muscles have been resting for a long time. Have you tried to take a hot shower? Normally the warm water will relax the muscle.
Hope you feel better!

Thanks bud, yeah I had a hot shower last night and this morning before work and it's almost 100% again. Just going to rest up another night before I get back into it.
Think I might need to get in the physio and get a rub down
