my day is ruined!

**POPS** · 11-13-2009, 09:05 AM

I got up about an hour ago, had my morning shake, took my supplements and decided to watch yesterdays " tivo " shows before my wife goes to work. I started to scratch the back of my neck, leaned forward then this huge pain came on the right/back side if my neck ( pulled neck muscle )!!!

I CANNOT TRAIN TODAY!!! IM SO PISSED!!!

This happens to me quite often and theres no way for a quick fix. I guess Ill just have to wait until Monday.

I just took 2 alleve's and now I need to figure out what to do today......

Since you quoted this has been happening to you quite often, why don't you try to figure out the reason?

Its just one of those things. I just move in a certain way and BAM, thats it!

One time it happened to me when I was washing my hair in the shower.

THIS SUCKS!

It never happens to me in the gym, though....

Been there bro....

I have to do about 15 or 20 minutes worth of light stretching when I get up in the morning. It seems to help out alot. It sucks getting older!!

for me, i was in 2 yrs of physical therapy, after the docs all got paid, one finally suggested steroid injections into the trap, rhomboids.. 8 injects down my back (some serious pain right there) i was fine.. 6 weeks later went and had it done again and it was 5 yrs before i injured it again..

this time I suggested it to the doc, then had to find one that would do it.. and have been good every since.. that was when i was 25... I'm 48 now..

I take 1000mg of taurine/day as we speak.

I dont think that I need medical attention, not yet. Maybe I jumped the gun here guys but it happens a few times a year is what I meant. But when it DOES happen and I cannot train its like the end of the world!!

Im sure that in a few hours Ill get over it and just chill out and stick to the diet and return on Monday...

**spywizard** · 11-13-2009, 09:19 AM

well good luck it can be serious but if you are already able to recover from it.. just remember what i said...

you know, as we get older..

Up until I turned 30 I never had any problems. At 30 s**t started to hurt, strength wasnt going up as fast, weight wasnt going down as fast.

When I hit 35 the same thing but I was more cautious on my training.

Ill be 40 in June and I feel great for my age and people still cannot believe that Im this old. But when this crap happens to me I feel like Im 100, lol!!!

Thanks for the support guys, Im glad Im not alone!!!!

I feel your pain. I fell off the sofa this morning trying to suck my own c0ck and sprained my neck. Oh well just part of the game. Rest up.

ICE as soon as it happens. Last time I had a pulled neck muscle the only thing that helped besides the ice was DMSO, yes the jell with Aloe vera, I could not believe how fast it helped me. My neck had hurt for over a month, arm was numb and in one day it felt 80% better, really no BS. It's worth a try.
