      A few months ago, I pinched a nerve in my neck because I picked up a shampoo bottle wrong.

      I’ve swallowed water the wrong way and had coughing fit that cramped my gouche.

      I hope it never happens again, but I’m sure instances like that will increase.

        Happens to me, when I’m too lazy to really sit up in bed, when I want a sip of water during a short wake up

        The cramping is hell…

      Oh yeah that’s happened. I had like a minor back strain already, took me a moment to stand up. In the middle of that process, I sneezed. Huge mistake.

    Ya’ll need to add ”walk an hour”, “eat a salad”, and “do calisthenics” to your daily routines.

      And never stop doing it. One lapse or moment of weakness and bamm… back to the physio.

      Constant vigilance 🙃

          You’re quite right! The body thankfully does have some margin before it all goes downhill. I was exaggerating a tad to emphasize the vigilance aspect.

          Although I do have older aunts and uncles who do need this level of high bodily maintenance.

          (Not sure on your stance on Mr C.K but this bit lives rent free in my head on this topic Soz, couldn’t find a better link)

        If by “one lapse” you mean “stop doing it for like a year”…

        But yes I did that second part obviously

    I am currently lying down, not because I prefer the floor, my because I lay down to stretch a bit, and my back has now completely locked up. I’m not joking: I physically cannot get up, and a doctor is on the way. I’m not even 30 yet…

    TBF I’ve been choking on water since I was a wee lad. I just drink too aggressively. A drinking problem, of sorts.

    My worst mountain biking injury was because I looked down at my back tire and pulled the SHIT out of a muscle in my upper back.

    And I used to crash a lot. The muscle pull was worse

    Born in the 70s. I’ve sat on my balls twice so far this year. That’s never happened before, I used to just laugh at the idea 😓

    Nothing like sneezing so hard you get a crick in your neck for a week. 44.

    Ffffffff

        After having my back go out twice from sneezing, I asked my doctor about it. He told me this life changing tip which so far (6 yrs) has never failed. When you feel a sneeze coming on, pull your shoulder blades back and look directly up, you can sneeze as hard as you want in this position and you will be fine. In my experience just the looking up is usually enough to protect the back, the pulled back shoulder blades is just an added layer of protection.

      You ever have a sneeze you feel in your arms for about an hour? Like you sneeze, your blood pressure hits 9000 PSI for 8.2 milliseconds and your ghost aches for awhile?

    I stumbled a few months back stepping over a rope that was about fifteen centimeters off the ground and cracked a rib or something. I didn’t even fall, just kinda leaned forward the wrong way a bit. Pain for weeks.

      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.

          Genuinely dislike stretching. I probably wouldn’t if I did them, but starting sucks most

            We could do one crappy painful one tomorrow for sixty seconds and eventually see if you’re right on “probably”, here actually:

            OK! Thank you, I will move myself esp after some gym dude said something to me like “if you never exercise in your life but you at least stretch” something about better when older. Doin’ it for me thx 2 u (AKA no pressure 😎)

    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.
