Tweetbruising is very very bad and something is most def torn man. you need to get in and get an mri to find out if it was a tnedon or lig that can be fixed. now the good news is that it isnt an area that is going to be easily seen being right there in the arm pit. reason i say this is the bruise usually starts at the area that was injured and then slowly will start to drain down and away. my big dumb ass blew out my hammie, and the top and bottom tendons at the same time doing interval sprints on the track. sounded like a gunshot and at a full sprint i went face first onto the track and slid on my face. road rash was prob just as bad as the tear. the bruise started at the top of my butt cheek and ran all the way to the top of my calf. covered the entire leg within minutes of doing it. being hurt sucks man but it is always best to have a look at what treatment is possible and make a good educated decision at that point on it

If its not hanging off the Dr won't MRI. Had thus happen before so the protocol should be the same.

Thanks unclem. Don't count me out, just need to change my approach.
I was impressed with my back when snapping that pic. Didn't realize how meaty it was.

Did this exact same thing last year. I was racing with my step son heard the hammie pop and hit the ground face first sliding. It hurt like hell but one of those that I was laughing the pain off because I knew how funny it was that I face planted. I had to get my step son to help me up though. Use a golf club to walk in the house. For sure sucks dealing with a year.

Tweetheres my quad bruise i was telling you about.

TweetOkay, I can move it pretty well today which is good news. Its sore and tender to the touch but I have zero bruising like you guys do. I would say its a 1/4 of that bruising both of you posted.

Im not going to do anything crazy like work it out and will give it about a month off. Cardio will be happening for sure. I have a dr appt tomorrow so ill see what he says.

Tweetgod i hate to see those injuries. but like supr said hes got a dr appt tomm so he will no. dam those are all some bad bruises. hope you are all ok.

man that sucks. looks like you may have torn a part of the groin there. ouch

TweetNot too bad at all.
It is at most a grade 2 tear of the lat. Was told to let it heal, add more stretching, slowly increase weights back up.
I love my doc. He knows I'm going to keel going and doesn't try to steer me away, but wants me to heal and ease back into it. He also doesn't push meds on me. Said to get arnica cream for the bruising and do stretches for the next few weeks of the lat.

TweetAll these tears and bruises, I must not be training hard enough...lol Get well guys!

Tweeti think mine might be from the gear i pinned the same day as a leg work out because it doesnt hurt really, just a little sore. glad to hear youre doing better Supr.
