I hurt myself at the gym, help!

I was doing the incline dumbbell flyer and I got careless resulting in my left arm to rotate weirdly-if that makes any sense.

It hurt a lot at the beginning then it stopped. But now it hurt really bad. I'm afraid this is something serious or perminant :( is it only a tear down?

You should probably consult a medical proffessional.

May I suggest Web MD ;)


But seriously, you should go see a doctor.

youtube gym accidents until you find the one that happened to you. then consult Dr. Google for a diagnosis and best way to heal

Doctors are butchers around here, so this is my last last resort.GazaAli

I don't know. But the best thing is probably to let it heal over time.

Yeah...I still don't know.

Is GameSpot really the best place for you to ask this? Aren't you worried about such an action?

Your gym buddies might have some useful advice, if they have gotten the same injury before. But really the best thing to do would be to visit a doctor

Yeah you might have FUBAR'ed yourself. It happens. Out of all of my friends that have started serious workout routines recently, I am the only one that didn't jack a bone out of place, tear a muscle, or some other serious ailment that doesn't resolve itself really...ever.

I await that day.

If your doctors are equivalent to butchers, you have bigger issues than that arm.Sigh_han

Sounds like you might of torn a mucsle. Take some pain reliving medicine for body aches (Aleve, Motrin, etc), then get some IcyHot patches and let it heal. Give it a week at least and if the pain persists, you need to go to the doctor. It hurts because your body is trying to rebuild the muscle you tore.

Yeah my buddy, who is much stronger than me, on flys no less, got chest pains out of nowhere. Turns out his rib was popped out of place. Now he has problems with it chronically.

I wish you the best! But a lot of times these injurys are nagging. You have to be really careful when lifting.

You are not going to find answers in a gaming forum thread. Get help from someone who can actually help you. Common sense should tell you who that will be.

Which is a good sign, right?

Wait it out a couple of days, if not better then you need to go to the doc.

If it still hurts maybe a simple sling to rest itWolls

I think I'm freaking out. I always freak out with health related issues. I was upset for more than a month because of a rough tooth removal.GazaAli

It could be biceps tendonitis, or some other sort of rotator cuff injury.

He posts on here so he can get attention. Isn't it obvious? If it was really serious, then he would consult a doctor or maybe a family member. But instead, he decides to ask Gamespot.........I mean seriously???

go to a butcher, maybe he'll turn out to be a doctor.

kidding kidding, sorry.

i would say stay away from weights or any activity that would cause pain to the shoulder. maybe take some pain meds and try not to move it and rest. go to webMD too.
