Sports Injuries Forum

This is a great idea. and for everyone who thinks that you shouldnt get diagnosed over the internet, the forum doesnt necessarily have to diagnose anyone, once someone finds out exactly what their injury is, people who have experience with that injury can inform them of what worked or didnt work for them as far as recovery, physical therapy, art or any other such things

Fatty I agree with you, you have my vote, even after cringing from you telling me to “think synergy.”

It’s a good idea.

The whole reason I came to T-Nation was after an injury diagnosis, looking for alternatives and advice.

I think that’s the key thing here. Nobody should be on here playing doctor, but for a newly injured dude to have a quick resource of what us Navy dudes call “sea stories” regarding similar if not the same types of orthopedic ailments to include surgery options, therapy, recovery time, bumps in the recovery road, medications, and whatnot? Well all I can say to that is that it’s a good thing.

Bump.

C’mon, people: we need more votes.

Sooner or later, today’s newbies are going to have to deal with injuries.

Yep, I’m talking to you, Mr. 15" biceps.
And to you, Mr. Hot Abs.

Heck, this is the one-time chance to get V-Dieters and “I’m not afraid of putting on fat to gain slabs of muscle!” people fired up for the same cause! :wink:

Vote or die!

@BBB
Thanks, man. Didn’t get your PM, though. Did you get mine from today?

@Mod who moved this from ‘Bodybuilding Training’ to ‘Offtopic’
Thanks.

Totally for it

A forum designated for discussion of, prevention of, rehabbing, working around, and living with injuries would be great! Thanks for posting this, Fatty.

Consider this my vote YES.[/quote]

No I didn’t!

TBH, the ONE thing that might drive me away from T-Nation is the PM issue. Aside from the obvious waste of time that a typed-up-but-lost-in-the-ether Pm represents, I am not prepared to seem like a rude, ignorant, selfish member, simply because T-Nation cannot tend its own knitting.

I HATE the though of people with serious health or personal problems asking me for advice, only to seemingly be ignored by my non-response.

There have been no messages from mods explaining why. I even created a thread about it in GAL, since I can’t remeber how to access tech support. It wasn’t even put up. Either that or it was moved - to a forum I can’t access, lol. In the past, all I can get out of them is “turn your PM function on”, when I never turned it off. Then mysteriously my PMs start to work again, though I do nothing to tern them on.

I reckon T-Nation have a few weeks to sort it out before I just throw up my hands in despair and quit the place.

Sorry for the rant, but it’s pretty frustrating.

Btw, you also have my vote for the injury forum. If people can provide MRI’s etc, our (unfortunately few and far in-between) professionals on here could probably provide some help…

What interests me even more is a sticky about basic injury prevention…

  1. Setup on exercises (shoulder blades and shoulder position in general etc)… That is a big and imo very important topic…
  2. typical/commonplace weight-lifting -related injuries, how they usually happen, what steps to take to avoid them… This could take care of 90 percent or more of all the injuries people here sustain…
  3. How to set up your training post-injury (say, you’ve torn your pecs a bunch of times or whatever, what now? Continue to bench with scare-crow technique? etc)
  4. Links to articles on injury prevention, prehab, rehab, whatever… Also links to generally good sources of medical info and maybe mention professionals you know who have a lot of experience with this stuff (as opposed to your average “get a cortisone shot and stop lifting weights”-doctor) and perhaps helped you through a difficult injury or whatever… Would be great to know for others who get injured and need someone doc/specialist they can trust.

and so on, you get the idea.

The forum itself (if it ever comes… Dunno about legal stuff) could be a cell though, where only those with the right experience and credentials can post (just to avoid the usual scattershot response problem and also so that those few can decide which threads to post to avoid constant re-emerging of the same goddamn topic)… Guess one could make a thread or whatever outside of that medical forum where people can post their questions or so?

I been having some nagging shoulder pains, and gets worse when I sleep but not to a point where I need to visit a doctor. A sports injuries forum would be great where I can see all the exercises people have tried that has worked for them.

You have my vote, for certain.

I vote yes.

I’m down yo

I support this.

I vote a HELL YES.

I had and rehabbed shoulder surgery about a year and a half ago, and am currently rehabbing ACL reconstruction about 13 weeks ago. To communicate with people have had this in the past would have been very cool indeed, and I would definitely share my experiences as well.

I am old and busted so I vote for this too.

The only reason i found T was because I was severely injured without help for a long time (courtesy incompetent doctors) and was in frantic search of some kind of positive response. After T i got my hope back to continuing my passion for sports and get back myself to 100 percent and more , mostly reading a lot of Eric Cressey and M. Robertson. Now all my exercise progressions are around my injury and I have improved hell lot being an injury engineer. So yes I do vote in favour but let us not restrict to only weightlifting injuries but in general sports injuries and recognise injuries on a case by case basis and lets hear the greatest of comeback-and-more incidents. That would only inspire all who are rehabbing and want to break all their previous bests before injury.

vote: YES

yes x9000

bbb did you get my pm from yesterday?

i vote yay.

maybe now i’ll be able to figure out why it hurts so bad when I slam my dick in the kitchen cabinets.

wait i think i answered my own question.

I vote yes.
