I don't really know what to write about so I decided to write about what had happen to me and why I haven't been to class lately. I have a bulging disk/slip disk which hurts really bad and make me almost unmoveable. I can barely sit down. About three years ago, I was playing football for my high school. It happen during weight lifting class. For some reason that day, I decided not to stretch and decided to do some heavy squat. My friend had on 315 lbs and I got under the bar and started to squat. After the 4th one, I felt something shot right throught my back down towards my leg. I rack the bar and went and say down. Thinking nothing of it, I went on did my daily routine. It wasn't hurting so I though I just needed to stretch it. Well after half of the season of football, a sharp pain when down my back and I couldn't move. I was just walking to class when this happen. This pain now is on and off. I don't know when it's going to happen again and then it happen again three weeks ago. I been in the bed for almost two weeks. Can't move, walk, or do anything. I was almost like a vegetable. Moral of the story, stretch first before doing anything heavy.

I hate to hear this. A disk/slip is no fun. My dad has had this happen a time or two and it took him a long time to recover. Stretching when doing any kind of lifting is something you always need to do. In my high-school I took weight lifting three years in a row. Stretching was required everyday before we lifted. The weight lifting teacher really stressed that we stretch good. Make sure you stretch from now on and I hope you get better soon!
ReplyDeletePretty impressive that you put up 315 four times, and it sounds like you could have got more. That was my max in high school, and I doubt I could even squat the bar now. Hope your injury heals up soon boss.
