I won’t even go for this, even if it continues to hurt, because I’ve learned this lesson.

Just do the dance in reverse

Unfortunately, it was a jump, so I think a reverse jump is just a jump, right?

Last panel: Turns around too quickly to look after the kid, now has a painfully stiff neck for a week.

Uhhhhh does that explain why I can shrug off pain that puts other people in the hospital? Was it the fucking abuse?!

I didn't know we had free fortune telling on Lemmy!

I'm so cooked

I’ve definitely been doing a lot of those things since it happened. Much shuffling, tarrying, and slowing down. I just started back on working out today, but nothing with my hip.

I hope y’all are 80 cause I’m 40’s and pretty damn fit to be fair. Owe it rock climbing, running, lots of walking, and gym but I hate the gym these days it’s so boring.

Use it or lose it people.

And one without wind, he couldn't fly

It's not necessarily abuse to not react strongly to your child having a minor injury, but that could be a reason why. It could also be you learned to mask your pain to avoid further abuse.

I also have a stupid high pain tolerance (like making it through my vasectomy without anesthesia while only saying ouch under my breath, because my surgeon didn't believe I could still feel everything), but my mom knew about this from her masters degree and applied it to me.

it's always the abuse.

my wife was neglected as a child and always told to "walk it off".

our first child, she didn't have any pain mitigation. the nurses were horrified but morbidly curious.

when she says it hurts I believe it would incapacitate a normal person.

personally, I have worked on mind-over-matter pain mitigation (I fell asleep during a root canal) but hers takes it to a whole new level.

48yo alpinist who climbs 5.12+ here. I'm constantly injured. If you're not doing regular training for injury prevention it will come back to bite you in your 50's or 60's and you will not have the framework to navigate the injury without further fitness loss and a downward spiral of capabilities.

The rock gym is where I fucked up my shoulders. That was the beginning of the end. That, then office job, then kids, then pandemic. I'm working on regaining some movement, though.

“EARTH!”

“FIRE!”

“WIND!”

“WATER!”

“MCDONALD’S!”

I have an ace bandage in my gear bag for the same reason. Though, the ace bandage is a bit unhelpful when I strain my hip on a high kick.

I'm still active in my 40's and I have a bunch of nagging sports injuries, some of which trace back 20+ years. Overuse injuries are common, too. Ask pretty much any serious runner or lifter or full time athlete, and they'll all have things that they just live with.

You got this bro.

Yep, same age here. I have a herniated disk. I stretch in the AM and before bed. Probably once a year I'll do something stupid like lift something way to heavy and aggravate it, and then I just take it easy for a day or two and I'm fine again. People just don't move around anymore, everyone is sedentary now. Just getting you 10k steps in helps a ton.

Hell if you're a gamer like me, get walkscape and play a game with the amount of steps you do in a day.

Just move around.

In my experience, persistent joint pain can be mitigated by working the muscles that pad that joint.

Consider doing some yoga or basic tai-chi that will stretch the region that is in pain. As you move through forms and poses you will figure out which muscle or muscle group needs to be strengthened and you will find movements that work it.

I've got some gnarly arthritis so my joints are always inflamed. Yoga helps me to keep the muscles strong enough to power through the inflammation without pain, though with arthritis it always hurts a little 🥲
