I did quite strenuous manual work for about the first 15 years of my working life and have torn the muscles in both shoulders several times and, as a result, have a lot of scar tissue in them. They feel knotted almost constantly and occasionally one or both will flare up and cause considerable discomfort for a few days.

Ugh. My finger clicks twice now when I lift it up. Not the joints clicking though, it's like cartilage sliding up the back of my finger rubbing on stuff clicking

That's an impressive one, must admit.

I managed today to slam the car boot on my own head, I now have a lump the size of a 50p, a nice big cut, and blood in my hair.

It 'URTS!!

poor Knips *strokes*

I won't ask Leo to expand on his 'day of horror' in Cyprus, suffice to say, it was a very bad day of several injuries!

Mine would have to be getting my rib pulled out of position by 3/4 last year and spending 8 weeks having various scans and tests to try and figure out why I had this awful pain. By the time. This is part of a blog post I made about it at the time:

Quote:
This has been incredibly painful for over 6 weeks now, and my ladybump near my sternum on the inside has been consistently painful with a dull ache that got worse as the days went on. I’ve been to visit the GP and have been taking anti-inflammatories and paracodamol, but it just seemed to be getting worse.

So, after a visit to a recommended osteopath (my new hero) I discovered that for the last 6-8 weeks or so I have had:
Severe (more than 3/4) dislocation of my 3rd rib on the right hand side. I have also ripped my pectoral minoris muscle (little muscle behind the major pectoral muscle that spreads out like a fan across your shoulder) which has spent 6 weeks being stretched out by the rib being in the wrong place. My shoulder/arm/upper back have been compensating for the muscle strain and I now have 3 pulled muscles in that area and have developed bicep tendonitis and RSI due to the strain put on my arm muscles at the top.

Osteopath reckons I did it when I was holding Sally’s lead - she was in the back seat of the car and ran to the window behind me taking my arm with her. At first it was just slightly out of place but over the last 8 weeks has got worse, and become more painful the more other muscles compensated. It didn't hurt when I did it, but I had taken ibuprofen to combat light sunburn!

My rib has been popped back in (THE PAIN!!!!) and the muscle under the rib was absolutely solid (like a tennis ball) and it’s been massaged very very hard which was so painful that I was almost in floods of tears, and ultrasounded.
I did it at the end of July 2008 and I'm still having physio on my shoulder/neck now.
