Latest Ouchy or injury 🤕

I’ll kick things off..

Been doing mostly outside jogs recently.

Finally caught up with me today…

Felt a little discomfort on the right nip…

Ma lady tells me take off your top shirt now as I’m at the front door I look down… Dauum thought I was looking cool and figured why a few lady’s stared while I did my Sunday jog. Nice and bleedy🩸 Both nips right one just bled more.. had applied my usual preggers lanolin before I started but I was lazy and decided to use a loose undershirt instead on finding the tighter ones… bad move. The hurt really came when I jumped in the shower… oh momma.

Ouch is right! Been there myself. Equally fun is chafing from loose shorts worn during a long bike ride, especially with no aquaphor or chamois butter applied. That leads to a very memorable shower.

I sprained my ankle at the first of July.

...It's almost stopped hurting MOST of the time.

I have broken bones that were less of a pain in the butt.

I fell on the TM a couple of months ago and ended up with a chafed stomach and breast, a swollen black and blue bruise on my chin where i hit the deck and a green face for a couple of weeks thanks to light bruising there.

Yeah I don’t care about stares anymore. I used to do shorts when I was younger now I’m all about compression pants when I jog. I’m usually the only one in the tight running pants. Hey I know all my bits are in place and ain’t no chaffing going on… so stare away… Friend bought me pasties I’ll likely be shaving and will start using them..

Late May just walking my dog, felt like a strain or partial rupture in my right Achilles... I've stayed dormant all summer (while not losing any weight through diet) and it's finally feeling better but still tender... 😑

I can relate at 50+ injuries take a longer recovery period. Hang in there you’ll be back on the horse soon enough…

Hopefully things are going better these days. Thanks for sharing…

Yeah sprains which I’ve had many of are sometimes underrated vs a brake…. I still have lingering pains from sprains that happened decades back..

Mine is v minor at the mo but stupidly painful - torn callus! Minor in the scheme of things but wow, when you cut onions for tea and get that acid on raw part 😢😢

A knee sprain that was quite painful. The way it happened is weird, too. On my home from grocery shopping, my foot landed perfectly into a small pothole almost exactly the width of my shoe, and my foot was stuck. I was carrying heavy bags and walking fast, so I lost my balance and my knee bent too much sideways as I almost fell. Thankfully I didn't, it could have been much worse. I instinctively leaned to the other side to regain my balance, and my foot was freed and took a chunk of asphalt out with it. When my injured leg landed back on the ground the pain was excruciating. I took a taxi right there and to the hospital. My knee was really swollen, my ankle was a little swollen, but no damage to the bone anywhere, and no dislocation. It's funny, I was sitting in the waiting area of the hospital surrounded by grocery bags.

It's not the latest, but it's one I won't forget easily...

I usually use the recumbent bike at the gym for 20-30 minutes per session, and I never had any issues at all. One day, it was busy and I didn't want to wait, so I used one of the regular stationary bikes. I'm short, so I made sure to set everything to my height, and I even sat on a folded towel to "cushion" my butt. Well, for three days straight the pain was so strong that I couldn't sit properly anywhere, not even on my soft couch.

Now when the recumbent bike is busy, I just use the elliptical instead. Or the treadmill. Or anything, really, except that torture-device-posing-as-a-bike.

Body Glide is your friend. I was so grateful when someone here recommended it for chafing “batwings”.

I run deliberately slow after several badly bruising, skint knee and elbow falls running. So slow, I record my runs as walks, but hey, the bad falls stopped.

I also ditched my Hoka shoes. They are like clown shoes and even when I simply walk in them, my feet still tangle in one another. Lots of near falls in them so I Goodwilled ‘em.

Nothing recent. I broke a rib in June in another mountain biking accident. I've since resigned myself to stay off of the more advanced trails. This was the second big crash in a years time and I'm 47 and don't need to be doing that.

Last year I had some cracked ribs when a car full of young ladies ran me and my bike off the road. Made squatting and benchinng a bit uncomfortable and jus a bit harder to breath in general but nothing like a bloody nip .

The last specifically exercise-related injury I recall - and this was a loose relationship - was tripping on an uneven board in the rowing dock, and laying myself flat out on my face, cut my lip on my teeth, got a few bruises, but no worse. Since I'm osteoporotic, I'd call that a win.

I don't count blisters, ripped off calluses, and other hand stuff, because that's pretty much always somewhere in the picture when I switch from indoor rowing season to handling actual oars again, every year. Some combination of liquid bandage and duct tape works during subsequent rows until healed (only duct tape holds up to the friction/moisture, and the liquid bandage is just to make it hurt less when the duct tape gets removed). Used to have to groom the finger calluses regularly with pumice or something to keep them from falling off, but now that I grip the oar handles in a more relaxed way, I don't need that much.

Stupid eye surgery was the most recent disruption to normal workouts, but that didn't have a workout cause AFAIK.

Not fitness-related, but I walked past a shoebox sitting on the table wrong on Saturday night and managed to give myself a nasty papercut on the side of my finger. I don't know, either.

Most of my recent injuries have been acquired in the kitchen rather than the gym, tbh. A few weeks back I managed to poke unnecessary holes in two fingers in the course of prepping meals over the weekend; I'm just glad I had a box of vinyl gloves handy.

Most of my injuries sustained in the course of doing purposeful exercise have been stuff like blisters, sunburns, bug bites, dehydration. I did once bring a 50lb bar down on my lap much harder than I should have and had a fantastic-looking bruise in a very private area for my trouble, but that was years ago.

My most recent was laying the bike down coming around a corner - didn't see the rock hiding in the pile of grass clippings and hit it at the perfect angle to sweep the front wheel out from under the bike - lost some skin on my elbow and shins/knees and had a sore wrist for awhile. Glad I had gloves on or I would have really torn up my hands.

I'm laughing to myself as I read the injury posts. NOT because any of the injuries posted are funny, but rather that this thread helped me recall the long list of bumps and bruises I've sustained over the years.

Trail running and cycling have been the primary culprits. Whether tripping over roots or forgetting to unclip at a stop sign, I've donated blood more times than I can count. One memorable dismount came at the very end of a Miami to Key West bike ride. After a day and a half in the saddle, I pulled into downtown Key West and rode along carefully and slowly while looking for my hotel amid heavy traffic. When I saw my hotel across the street, I got off my bike and pushed the crosswalk button to stop traffic while I crossed the street. Once traffic stopped, I hopped on the bike and slowly rode across the street, pulling into the hotel parking lot which was down a small hill. As I made a lazy circling left hand turn to pull my bike under the hotel and into a parking space, I didn't see the shaded pavement was littered with small acorn sized dates that had fallen from the palm trees. My front wheel didn't hit the dates, but the back wheel hit one squarely, sweeping my tire out from under me in a flash. BOOM. I was down on the pavement so fast, the hotel chambermaids on the second floor who saw me yelled "Call 911!" They must have thought I was dead, lol. I took quite an elbow, forearm and shin bruise - almost as big as the bruise to my ego. I kept thinking: "150 miles without incident and then you crash in the parking lot....idiot."

SI joint tightness/piriformis syndrome. Have been miserable with it most of the summer.

Will look for some body glide thanks…

And can I say “respek” I hate hate hate hate Hokas

Ischial bursitis - pain in the *kitten*, literally. No clue what caused it but it caused inflammation and flared my already existing lower back and hip arthritis.

If pain lets us know we are alive — I’m very alive 😂🤣

I hurt my Achilles tendon when I ramped up my yoga practice...and the physical therapy exercises led to plantar fasciitis >.<

I've got a number of "memories" that are daily reminders of my adventures.

Most recent "new" injury (on top of a previous injury in the same region) was a high side crash during a race back in March of this year. Massive swelling, bruising, hematoma on my buttocks, and a tailbone that I don't think will ever forgive me. Still have a few lumps that haven't fully gone away yet from that one. Second one of those I've had - I wear the airbag suits, which do a fantastic job of protecting everything north of my butt, but my poor tush seems to take the brunt of it then LOL.

Back in late 2016 had a mid grade pilon fracture (a bad one, but I have seen worse ones) - that one NEVER lets me forget about it. Every single day this one reminds me of it's presence, and regularly gets to be a 'crankle' if I do something new or push it a little harder than it likes.

This past week my left shoulder been complaining....old injuries (again) that I've just made mad doing a few "new" things....not fitting in my regular weights routine makes that worse, hoping for more telecommute ability soon so I can get back to lifting again (between 2 jobs that I do 5 days a week, daily lifting just isn't much of an option right now).

I so relate. That sprained ankle was trail running. After the run. On a root on the way to the van.

Either my knee arthritis has suddenly progressed, or I have some sort of injury. Pain, swelling, locking, popping means I can't walk the dogs, ride my bike, or even get in/out of my kayak or do much of anything - it's so frustrating.
Getting some imaging done and hoping it is some sort of acute injury (that can heal or be repaired) rather than just worsening arthritis - cause I can't live like this.

Oh yes, I quickly realized that falling is not a matter of "if" but "when" during cycling and trail running. Its ok though, since it has happened so frequently to folks in our running/cycling group that we hardly even take notice these days.

Fingers crossed for you. Several people I know have gotten PRP (plasma rich platelet) injections that have delivered significant longer term relief from arthritis related knee and toe pain.

Thanks to all for sharing…

The pic below is what prompted me to start the thread…

Black and White to lessen the 🤮 for you all

Was a very nice run but well you see the effects of wearing to loose of an under shirt…

Not really an injury, more like wear and tear: achy shoulder when lifting, but aa mid-session biofreeze application helps.
