Any niggling pains or injuries? Post them here...

Clicking shoulder when I do pushups or punch the speed bag for a longer time.

Clicking knees when I do squats/leg workouts

Dull pain in both shoulders when I train for a while.

Pain in my lower right abdomen that makes me stop jump roping or running after a longer while.


I'm 24 and I've been training boxing since I was 15. I feel like I'm falling apart nowadays.:verysad

 

Clicking Knees as well.

I put it down to just "wear and tear" i guess. Nothing that a few supplements and a few days rest/off from leg workouts won't solve though. ;-)

 

No idea why it happens man. I've played a lot football in addition to boxing when I was younger, and I never got one injury. No pains, no clicking etc. Nothing.

I think I'm just getting older.

I've taken several 1-2 month long breaks from training, and all the pains keep coming back.

And I've been taking fish oil for 4 years now.

 

My right wrist. Broke it before, and it tends to act up every now and again. Makes hitting the heavy bag and doing pushups a real ****, even with wraps.

My knee tends to give me bother every once in a while, too. I've been taking cod liver oil for the past year or so and it seems to help.

 

Somethings wrong with my abductor or groin...slight pull or something?

Its been three weeks and no improvement.

 

Pain in my left elbow, both shoulders (especially my right), the muscles on the inside of both knees, right wrist when I hit the heavy bag for a while. Both my shoulders and both my knees crack and pop like crazy. The elbow pain is my predominant worry right now and it keeps re-appearing.

 

I seem to have glass shins.

 

If you're referring to shin splints, by any chance did you just start boxing recently or come back from a break? I used to get crazy shin splints to start with for a month or two, but I never do anymore.

 

Not from boxing mate, just from running. It's my own fault, i do nothing for a few weeks/months, then start running 6-7 miles, 3 or 4 times a week. Then hurt my shins, do nothing for a few weeks/months, then run 6-7 miles, 3-4 times a week. I've repeated this process over the past year, hoping that my shins would adjust but it hasn't happened.

I presume it is shin splints but i've never had it checked out. Although i've had a different injury over the past week where it wasn't the inside of my shin, but on the outside, just below my knee. It was sore to touch, and there was also a bit of pain down the bottom of my shin, near the top of my foot. Think i'll reduce the distance for a while now and build up gradually, instead of persisting with my current "routine".

 

Yeah. Shin splints may well be an incorrect way to describe it on my part, but that is exactly the issue I had - I used to dive right into doing heavy roadwork alongside boxing and my shins would be in agony. I can run daily and still box without getting any pain in my shins nowadays, just about consistency really, though in that scenario my knees are becoming an issue.

EDIT: I'm 22 also by the way - funny how there's a few of us in here in our early twenties that are listing common complaints of 80 year old men.

 

Sounds like stuff that was happening 80 years ago and still is it seems :rofl
