But I'm very tall. I managed to throw my back out by pushing in an empty dining room chair that even had felt on the bottom of the legs sliding over linoleum. That was last year, luckily no repeats. I don't fear my dining room yet.

Last month my neck didn't work. Pulled something while sleeping.

42, I've thrown my back out lifting the toilet seat.

At 30, dried my hair too hard with a towel. Pulled my neck

36 now. I don't remember my exact age at the time, but at approximately eighteen I dislocated my shoulder turning over in bed.

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??

[–] JakenVeina@lemm.ee 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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’s called talent, learn it.

It may already be too late for you.

Sneezed on the toilet once with my head turned. Neck was frozen for like a week after that one lol.

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.

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

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Hey if you type beginner stretches into YouTube do any of them look like you won’t hate them?

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.

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.

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 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.

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

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 13 points 2 days ago

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

[–] potjandorie@feddit.nl 5 points 1 day ago

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

I'm in this post and I don't like it.

[–] zloubida@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I hurt myself with a secateur!

I made a false move when picking it up.

[–] hkspowers@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)
