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...

I would have thought the best aquaman would be more flexible...
I'm out of my element, on dry land. Once the doctor gets here I'll just have them waterboard me for a couple minutes and I should be ok
Glad to hear you have a reputable spinal sturgeon and not some silly jellyfish selling snake oil.
*sea snake oil
I'm sat with an ice pack on my knee so I totally gey it

Jfc, I'm still dealing with a muscle I pulled turning over in bed. In November of last year.
If you’ve never sneezed and thrown your back out, count your blessings.
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.
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.
36, laundry basket
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.
Sneezed on the toilet once with my head turned. Neck was frozen for like a week after that one lol.
I drank water too hard.
Untag me, please.
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.
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.

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??
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.
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.
My muscles are over flexible and even taking a big bite can do it. Also makes it easy to put back in place tho.
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.
Yep. Life changing.
Yep, tore my meniscus in my knee a month ago shifting my weight standing still in my kitchen
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.
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 went jogging, misstepped and then had back pains for the next 3 weeks. I walked like Quasimodo the first couple of days.
I still remember chugging a Gatorade after work one summer and feeling like someone straight jump kicked me in the chest.
I'm in this post and I don't like it.
I hurt myself with a secateur!
I made a false move when picking it up.
