LeftBack Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 So... After been struggling with mental health issues I joined gym again. Really enjoying it. Getting up at 630am and getting into routine. 5miles bike, 1.5m running, 2000m rowing weights swim steam Spa. Brilliant. Went to make coffee this morning. Massive twang in leg. Think I've done hamstring 😔 Any advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hughesie27 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I'd go for a jog just to make sure it's nothing worse like a dislocation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konrad von Carstein Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) Spa, as in sauna and steam room? Are they all open again? (the gym ones lads, not the ones with "extras" and happy endings) I'm rejoining the local gym on Monday...

Only downside is you have to book slot so you can't just turn up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm at age where I'm not trying to be an addonis(again) just trying to fight ravages of time. If I don't go every day I know I'll stop. If that makes sense. Anyway leg is getting better. Managed a walk with dog but missus wants grass cut.... "sweetheart I wish I could but jkb says need to rest. Yes I think I could manage a beer. Where's remote?"

Jamstomorrow Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Sounds like nature's way of telling you to stay in your bed, not go to the gym and just go for a walk later in the day. That's what I do . . . . . . . but I am a fat git. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greedy Jambo Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) Better than cheese strings. But aye, you're just going to have to take take a couple of weeks off. I started doing the weights like i was still in my 20's, it was all good for a month or so, then i woke up with pain in my shoulder after a day of not even doing anything, still got it, 3 weeks later. I had it once before a few years back though and it eventually went away. Edited August 28, 2021 by Greedy Jambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had it once before a few years back though and it eventually went away. Could well be a torn intercostal muscle. I’m currently suffering with just that. Started lifting weights again and like you woke up with terrible pain in the shoulder. Pain seems to move front to back as well? So pain in the chest? Mine spasms as well so sneezing causes enormous pain! 3 weeks with it and it’s finally going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully I can work my way around it this time or I'll be done for good with gym. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunny11 Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Yep the noise/feeling of any muscle going stays with you for a long time. Hopefully it’s just a strain and the RICE protocol helps Anyone ruptured an achilles before? Did it 3 months back playing football after over doing it coming out of lockdown 😔 Been a hellish time..
