Back Injury Recovery Time Question

[Matt "Gumby" Glach]

I had the same thing happen twice. I felt fine after training, and next day I couldn't even get up. 1st time on my lower back and the second on my upper back/shoulder/neck area. 1st time took about 2 and a half weeks to heal with just anti-inflammatory pills. Second time took a week to heal with anti-inflammatory + yoga. I've been stretching and using a foam roller on my back after every class as well as yoga at home and it hasn't happened since.

Nice, that's good news to hear, sounds like you had the exact same thing happen that i had happen. Thanks for letting me know!

I'm sorry Gumby, but your doctor has confirmed the new. We're going to have to amputate everything from the neck up and everything from the waist down. Sorry bud =(.

"confirmed the news"

I hope they dont charge per lb for amputations cause from the waist down would be extremely expensive

Do more core exercise and get everything really strong. It's more than likely an overuse from not having built it up very much and then jumping in to bjj head first. Get your core really strong and back problems will be a thing of the past (for the most part). I have scoliosis generally do bjj/mma 4-5 days a week. Yoga is also a perfect tool for this.

I too have a back problem. This happend not training.. but by picking up a freaking peace of paper.. It's on my lower back and sometimes I feel a sharp pain when sitting or walking. I went to a Chiro and they took some x-ray stuff.. so it turns out that my hip and spine have shifted.. humm. that would also explain my hip pains when stretching or kicking. So, I did take a leave of absence from training for about 3 weeks or so, taking Aleve helped a bit but not every day. Now this is the cool part I still went to the gym just to sit and watch and I saw the other world. I learned some other things that I could not see by training.. Now as you all can see I train but I always let my training partner know my injuries just in case.. - Matt "Gumby" if you can't roll now at least show up and watch you will still learn and most of all hang out with us...

I'm ready to drill and roll lightly for sure. I ran 3 miles today without any pain which is a good sign. Tmrw I'm gonna do some drills and light rolling with Tyler and we'll see where I'm at, but I'll definitely be there this Saturday. I woulda made it last Saturday too but I was up all night that Friday.
