Out of commission again.

[*Narkissos*]

Ironic how simply things happen.

Yesterday i skipped the gym..and went to the beach.

There i played American Football for a couple hours... swam for about an hour..and sparred (Mixed styles: street) for about 1/2 hour.

During Football i blocked and tackled alot... A lot of flying tackles and full contact blows... I walk away from it, probably the only of my bros who didn't get hurt yesterday.

The other team drafted some HUGE off-duty life-guards onto their team because we were kicking their asses. One of the guys was like 250, really fast...and hella strong. I think still have some sand between my teeth from the number of times he knocked me face flat.

Anyway..no injuries.

On to swimming.

Swimming normally leaves my joints feeling like shit.. because (i think),
weightlessness causes fluid to pool in my joints..which makes 'em ache. Yesterday..nothing.

On to sparring.

Sparred with this guy.. a black belt. He was like 25-30% lighter than myself..so i didn't 'strike' him. He's a friend of mine...and i know he couldn't take any blow from me which connected..without injury. It was open palm sparring. I mostly blocked his blows when he got in close...deflected and grappled. Because i deemed that safer for him. No injury.

When i was done all this.. I walk away from my last take down leaving him on the ground. Backing him i took stance, and let loose an arc kick..just a practise kick (i use these and front splits to stretch the groin/ham area) ... When my leg was at full extension, my supporting leg buckled. It was a loud crunching noise...and i ended up on the floor.

My knee cap on the planted foot had dislocated completely. It was sitting on outside of my lef knee (left side). It felt like if i had been hit by a baseball bat. It didn't feel like it 'just slipped'. It felt like if it had been forced out. I was laying on the sand...and i had to sit up and jam it back in..and watch it swell.

I've gotta see a sports doc on Saturday. Can't get to one before then.

Hope it doesn't come to surgery.

But I don't get it though.

Yea.. i know: I'm at 200 lbs @ 5'6" so i know that it was a lot of weight on a quasi-vulnerable area.

What i don't get is...how could it not have happened during football... or
sparring.. but after.. by myself?

During the 'fight' i used the reverse arc and axe fairly regularly.

Bleh

Can't walk. Can't roll. Showering was a bitch! And dressing even harder..cus i can't bend the knee at all.

I used some pain meds last night... only because one of my bros who was there advised it. I haven't used any since..because i don't use pain meds or anti-biotics.

I can't say i'm not tempted to down a handfull of whatever i find tho lol.
Anyway.. If y'all don't see me around that's why.

It took me 15 minutes to get to this pc.. and about 5 minutes to lower myself into this chair. Since i've been sitting i've lost circulation.. so i'm thinking sitting is out.

Back to bed.

damn....sorry to hear that nark... after my ACL tore I am VERY selective to what I do sports related now.....cant afford the setbacks.. get well soon & I hope its not too bad....keep us posted.

[Pooks]

sorry to hear u got hurt bro.. hopefullly it aint as bad as it feels n looks, n heals quickly..

I wanna know where this beach is thO! sounds fuN!.
(here they dont even let u throw a frizbee; fear of lawsuits)

[Snrf]

sorry to hear man, hope u recover quick

[*Narkissos*]

sorry to hear u got hurt bro.. hopefullly it aint as bad as it feels n looks, n heals quickly..

Hopefully.

Right now i can feel my patella 'floating' over the joint.

I pressed down and i can hear it smacking against the joint. Any pressure i apply (including contracting the surrounding muscles statically) causes it to shit to the left. It feels like it's on its way back out

I wanna know where this beach is thO! sounds fuN!.
(here they dont even let u throw a frizbee; fear of lawsuits)

I live in the Caribbean bro (Barbados)... The only beach rules are: no littering, no fires and excessively loud music (without a permit), and no harassing the tourists lol.

So yea... it's cool here.

[JohnboyF]

damn thats shitty,

you can use your third leg

[STYLE74]

Hey Nark sorry you got hurt and I hope you feel better and get better quick, but you better be hear to say hi atleast and let us know how you are doing.

[chest6]

Noo I hate injuries. I have plenty myself right now.

Lol thats weird...the last time I fvcked myself up it was after i was dicking around after I played tackle football..lol. It helped that i played so i know what im doing but I was runnin around after we were done chasing my friend and sprained my ankle again rofl

keep us posted

[*Narkissos*]

^^lol@Faiz.

Thanks guys.. I'll try to stop in.

[Dude-Man]

I know how you feel man. Every single time i've thrown my back out, it was during something stupid, like putting socks on, or bending over to pick up a pen, and never during 500lb deadlits.

[Schmidty]

I am sure glad that hasnever happen to me. KNOCK KNOCK on wood

[Columbus]

Sorry to hear bro......hope it's not serious....


Do you think lifting is out of the question for a long ass time, or will you be able to do upper body movements?

[Pooks]

Keep us updated bro,,,
N keep your hopes up..

[mavsluva]

Man, that's terrible. There's a guy who plays for the Los Angeles Clippers (Shaun Livingston) that recently experienced a very similar injury and he's going to be out for a few months. I sure hope that you're able to rebound quickly.

The most i could do is probably bench.

I can't put my feet on the ground..so i have no support.. so shoulders; arms; legs; back...all are out.

I think the only feasible exercises would be dips; flat bench press; and pullups.

So... yea...that's it.

I can't walk at present.

I was using the crutches around the house.. by my patella is disengaged (floating).. so i can't put any weight on the leg.

God.

Last night while i was laying on my back in the sand.. There were people all around me fussing and stuff..and i was just lau***ng.

I thought it was ironic and vaguely amusing.

..the entire situation that is.

Looking ahead to the end of the year.. and noting how i had my year planned.. and just how much being out of commission for a couple months would throw it all.

I am thankful though.

When i got home i did say a prayer of thanks... because honestly i know it could've been worse.

I am fairly heavy after all... and there could've been serious nerve impingement or paralysis.

*shrugs*

After i get the analysis done tomorrow.. i'll decide on a course of action.

I have 2 months of Adequan here..so i may run that to speed the recovery.

Maybe some igf as well.

I know you will bounce back in no-time buddy! Keep your head up

[Timm1704]

that sucks the dirtiest ass ever. hope you bounce back in no time at all. this is the reason i dont often play sports besides wrestling. a polish guy at work challenged me to an arm wrestle last weekend, i suck at arm wrestles, and find they aggravate my elbow joint and forearm tendons. i did it either way, i won (HA!) and had no injuries, but imagine how pissed id be if that stupid little stunt had messed my training up? about as pissed as you right now.

get well soon brother

[spywizard]

wow.. and i thought i was active..

recovery and muscle development after injury can be as crutial to body building as our normal life style..

good luck..

[perfectbeast2001]

Shit man thats not good news. Hope you get better soon.

[kaberle_15]

It sucks when you injure yourself doing something simple, hope you get better soon.

[Columbus]

A LIL NUBAIN.....you'll be lifting the afternoon....

Not to give you a sad trip or anything but the Shawn livingston injury is more than a couple months more like a year at best. But he tore it in 3 different places in the knee, the worst type you can have. Good luck, and hopefully it's not tear that needs surgery, etc.

[Carlos_E]

Sorry to hear but you have to be more careful.

All of the things you said you did I would not have done due to the fact I could get injured. I always ask myself before I do something "Will this get me big?" If the answer is no, DON'T DO IT! If you plan to continue competing you have to think whether or not something will stop you from training.

[Prada]

Well, I love playing sports as well and play hockey. I get hurt all the time, just in the last 3 weeks I fractured my hand(right) and last week I fractured my foot(ankle) but I love playing and that is the oppurtunity cost of playing a physical sport, yet I always hope my training wont be sacrificed.
I'll keep playing nonetheless and training as much as I can.

The last that I had heard was that it was nothing more than a patela dislocation. But you are correct. I just read his injury was much worse than initially anticipated.

Long story short...we expect Nark to be back in action in two weeks!

[guest589745]

Sounds liek how I feel when my injections get painful.

All i can say is rest rest rest and you will be ok. Dont rush anything.

I have been injured a lot myself and thast the best advice I can give you.

Good luck, be smart.

Good luck, I ran it 100mg EOD for a while and it did NOTHING. Someone else did here too.........

[guest589745]

EXACTLY!! Its ****ing stupid. I hurt my back more SLEEPING IN AN ODD POSITION, than I ever have lifting weights. Re-****ing-tarded.

[shrpskn]

Sorry to hear about the misfortune Nark...

Godspeed to you and your recovery...

[C_Bino]

Hey big C. Sorry to hear bout that. I know how it feels. I have dislocated my left patella 4 times. So if you need ANY advice or jus wanna talk bout it you know where to find me.
As most people know I have been dealin with a lot of person shit recently and not on here as much. Well jus like you I added another ding to the list. I was training last night and completely dislocated my shoulder, I am already seeing a surgeon for the other shoulder. Sometimes I think WHY ME? Bad things always seem to keep coming and comin at the same time.

Hang in there brother and like I said you know how to get a hold of me if you need anything.

I have dislocated my shoulder............. at least 5 times. Rest rest rest man, and from now on, use thera bands to warm up. Helped me.

[*Narkissos*]

Thanks for the good words guys.

I'm scheduled to see an orthopedic specialist in the a.m.

Hopefully it won't require surgery.

I had a severely dislocated shoulder some years back that they said required the surgical insertion of a pin. I refused...and it healed on its own..no rehab.

I'm hoping this this follows suit.

[Dude-Man]

Maybe you can use this to your advantage and get on a normal sleep schedule.

[*Narkissos*]

^^Doubtful.. I'm too bored to sleep

[guest589745]

^^Doubtful.. I'm too bored to sleep

Hope you have fun with the pain meds then

They keep me up even more when I take em. I feel so good don't wanna go to sleep lol. Sucks the only thing I could ever really see myself getting addicted to.

[HORSE~]

Narky poo buy me a plane ticket to Barbados and i'll come kick that dudes ass you where sparing with just because and rub your big swollen sexy knee untill it get's all better....

All B.S. aside buddy wish you the best youll make it thru this it's just a stick in the road nothing but an inconvince....You are strong of mind and strong of body dude you cant be stoped by this shit....

P.S. anytime you feel the need for some Texan type healing advice let me know and i'll shoot you my number....

Best of wishes my freind....

[*Narkissos*]

Hope you have fun with the pain meds then

I'm not using anything honestly.

Maybe he'll give me something to reduce the swelling.. but i'm not trying to get away from the pain... I prefer its presence.

It tells me that i'm alive...and it helps me to avoid re-injury.


This shit hurts from the hip to toes though...

I'm surprised i fell asleep last night.
