I got a hiatal hernia which is a when your stomach pushes through your diaphragm and causes reflux. It's very common for old people, not that much for my age. It's a result of bad lifestyle choices and when I realized that this poo poo is never, ever going away it was quite sobering.

Oh and also when my back started hurting during a regular 3 hour kama sutra session with my hot, model wife, duh.

I took a poo poo in the middle of the night and pushed so hard I heard a loud snap in my neck. For the next two weeks I experienced a hell I had never thought existed. I resisted going to the ER the whole time until I cried like an absolute bitch one morning and relented. After threat of spinal tap I declined, the ER let me go with amazing muscle relaxers that fixed it all.

What is the most common goon injury?

I got mad doing some yardwork (it was taking too long and I was overwhelmed at work) and angrily threw a hosepipe down - my wife pointed out that the neighbors kids saw and was mad at me for acting like a baby. Later that evening I told her I thought I'd sprained my wrist doing that. I downplayed the pain because of how embarrassed I was.
3 weeks later it still hurts, so I head to the doctor and find out it's fractured.
This was a month ago it's not better yet.

I'm pretty old by goon standards, but I don't have any of these issues. Woke up with a slightly sore back. But that's just from working out, not from standing up too fast or walking up a flight of stairs or whatever is taking you people out of commission.

No real point here. Just gloating.

Spun around too quick and my back muscles, to quote the doctor, "exploded."

I don't there's any part of your body you want to hear that word applied to.

I am mostly better now but hooooo boy do back injuries take a long time to heal.

I wore the wrong pair of shoes playing sports outside and I rolled my foot over and broke it.

That seems innocuous on the surface and something that could happen to a younger dude but imo it wouldn't have happened if I were in my early 20s because back then I had the stupid skinny guy metabolism and now even though I work out and try to watch what I eat I am nevertheless much heavier than I used to be. So when my body twists in the wrong way it's a little harder on the joints. Getting closer to 40 now and not looking forward to it getting even hardy to maintain a healthy weight

I fall down a decent amount at home where I'm more lax about movement/body awareness stuff. I have Ehlers-Danlos and I'm almost 40 and already had a shoulder reconstruction at 17 because it just dumped out of socket on its own so many times my ortho told me it, "[looked] like you fell off a motorcycle going 80 and rolled with your shoulder dislocated."

I had to call in to work on Sunday because on Saturday I moved wrong, slung the bathmat out from underneath my foot, couldn't catch myself and clipped my left hip on the tub and right leg on the toilet. My left hip has a 4" long deep black bruise that's about 1" from top to bottom. This is not the first time I have had that bruise on either side of my hip. Not looking forward to the major surgeries I'm going to have to have eventually after already having one, and most of the affected ligaments (100%) aren't getting any of them so lol.

I got up from the fall no problem, but I told my girlfriend that if I was 20-30 years older we'd probably have to go to the hospital and it would probably be pretty grim. The stuff that went out of alignment and has shown itself has all been in my left shoulder and neck. It ain't a new problem, but it's definitely getting worse the older I get.

drinking cow milk doesn't do jack poo poo for your bone health or density hth

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24247817/

quote:

Results: During follow-up, 1226 hip fractures were identified in women and 490 in men. After controlling for known risk factors and current milk consumption, each additional glass of milk per day during teenage years was associated with a significant 9% higher risk of hip fracture in men (RR = 1.09; 95% CI, 1.01-1.17). The association was attenuated when height was added to the model (RR = 1.06; 95% CI, 0.98-1.14). Teenage milk consumption was not associated with hip fractures in women (RR = 1.00 per glass per day; 95% CI, 0.95-1.05).

Crammed a poo poo load of work into an Awful Jams game entry and then decided the best way to relax after was to play nothing but Doom for 2 weeks and got RSI in my wrist so bad I actually lost grip strength for a while. Still comes back sometimes.


I also dislocated my jaw 2 summers ago opening my mouth to bite into a sandwich (2 slices of bread and cheese nothing huge). Luckily it popped right back into place but the muscles in my jaw on one side of my face were stuck in spasm for weeks. and eventually healed and stopped clicking by Christmas. Lovely triple threat there of an overbite, not sleeping due to insane covid parties my neighbours where having and real awful work stress tightening the poo poo out of my jaw muscles.

Oh also this later caused a tooth of mine to explode! Luckily my dentist is cheap and effective.

You didn't say what I think you said...
Drove over some snow ruts, and the side-to-side motion turned a mildly annoying stitch in my back to full-on crippling back spasms in an instant. Had to pull over for a minute to let things settle down, and spent the rest of the night covering a hockey game while in agony.

I've only ever had mild issues with my back in the past, and let's just say this poo poo sucks.
