Don’t forget to lift with your knees!
My worst back injury was from picking up a loaf of bread after a long day of very heavy work. I had been slinging 300 pound pieces of gear all day long. Lots of heavy lifting, bending, pushing, pulling, etc… I handled all of it just fine. Got in the car, baby-wiped my face and arms to clean up a little bit, and headed to the grocery store on my way home.
20 minutes later, I was at the store. I just needed two things: Milk and bread. I headed to the back to grab the milk, then went past the bread aisle on the way to the registers. I stooped down to grab the bread, and felt a little twinge in my lower back. I barely even thought about it. Then the closer I got to the registers, the worse it got. By the time I was to the registers, I was hobbling around like an old man who needed a walker. Hell, I felt like I needed a walker; I was cursing myself for not grabbing a shopping cart, because I had nothing to hold onto.
That was on a Friday at like midnight. I suffered through two days of agony until my doctor opened on Monday. Doc was just like “oh yeah, that just happens sometimes.” Doc, can we make it fucking not happen? He said it was probably because I worked hard and then cooled down.
Apparently it’s an extremely common phenomenon, where industrial athletes will get injured after work. Because they’ll be good about staying safe during work… Then they get injured by something stupid and small after cooling down. Because when you’re warmed up and being mindful about how you lift, your risk of injury is low. But then you head home, cool down during the commute, and some muscle or tendon decides “nah, I’m done stretching for the day. Time to rip instead.”
Over a decade later, and I still occasionally have issues with that spot on my back.
My worst back injury, and still the only major one was lst year. I do a lot of lifting, work out and whatever and never even had a slight back pain, really. I was sitting on my pc, playing video games for maybe 2 hours. Suddenly i was like: i should get a drink and pee. I was about to stand up, but just didn't. I just fell on the floor, still shaped like a tetris block. That shit was so horribly painful.
Fuck, i remember coming home from unloading 18 wheelers when I was 22. As I was getting out the car, my change fell out my pocket and I bent over to pick it up. As I picked up the last quarter, twinge in my lower back like someone softly poked me with a stick, stand up and instant spasms. I Had to call my roommate to help me up the stairs.
After 6 hrs of trying not to breathe as to not trigger more spasms, roomate got a few percocet from the dealer downstairs. Luckily it was Friday so I didn't miss work.
Uhhg, hip flexors are such whiney little bitches. I am active after work, but my job requires me to sit down for long periods which tightens your hip flexors.
The couch hip flexor stretch and Mcgill's big three core exercises have helped a ton for my recovery.
In case anyone would like some resources...
Please ignore her couch-privilege
Don't worry, it will still hurt in 7 years time
Was just diagnosed with a herniated disc...
Yoga, my friend
Reminds me of the time I tried to go straight to pull ups without fixing core strength first.
