TBF I’ve been choking on water since I was a wee lad. I just drink too aggressively. A drinking problem, of sorts.
Drinking too hard is when you accidentally swallow too much at the same time, painfully forcing it down. I fainted once by doing this…
ohhh right. I do that, too. But not to the fainting level of effort.
You’ll get there with no effort, just give it time
Tap on the back
I once sneezed hard and somehow had my hair caught in my armpit, hurting my neck
Thanks, that made me laugh
In my 20s I once threw my back out pressing an elevator button.
I think you just won the thread
I just threw my back out by reading his post
If you’ve never sneezed and thrown your back out, count your blessings.
Oh yeah that’s happened. I had like a minor back strain already, took me a moment to stand up. In the middle of that process, I sneezed. Huge mistake.
A few months ago, I pinched a nerve in my neck because I picked up a shampoo bottle wrong.
I’ve swallowed water the wrong way and had coughing fit that cramped my gouche.
I hope it never happens again, but I’m sure instances like that will increase.
Happens to me, when I’m too lazy to really sit up in bed, when I want a sip of water during a short wake up
The cramping is hell…
I’ve had the drink water too hard thing since forever - take a super big gulp, feels like it’s trying to blow your esophagus apart all the way down.
I absolutely hate that. The pain in the chest lingers for a while too.
Sneezed on the toilet once with my head turned. Neck was frozen for like a week after that one lol.
I woke up from a good sleep last year, got up refreshed and ready for work. First time in years that it happened. Stood up and did a big yawn and stretch, then felt a sharp ripping feeling in my back. I tore a muscle stretching. I was 29 and it still wants to lock up today.
Bonus; tore it a year before almost to the day by literally just rolling over in bed. I felt it happen, said “aw fuck” and went back to sleep. Road trip to Maine and Martha’s Vineyard cancelled because the pain was too intense to drive.
I still remember chugging a Gatorade after work one summer and feeling like someone straight jump kicked me in the chest.
Sprained my back sneezing and the military medical officer insinuated that it is not possible and I was malingering… Hope that fella live a long life…

Every yawn comes with its own risk of dislocating my jaw.
My muscles are over flexible and even taking a big bite can do it. Also makes it easy to put back in place tho.
I’m not the only one!?
Staying in shape has helped prevent most other silly injuries though.
I stumbled a few months back stepping over a rope that was about fifteen centimeters off the ground and cracked a rib or something. I didn’t even fall, just kinda leaned forward the wrong way a bit. Pain for weeks.
Something similar happened to my husband! Threw his back out by slipping and not falling on ice 😂
Maybe we should be trying less hard to not hurt ourselves. 😝
Or try harder.
Go full bubble boy.
Born in the 70s. I’ve sat on my balls twice so far this year. That’s never happened before, I used to just laugh at the idea 😓
Kind of a tangent, but when I was younger I used to accidentally kick myself in the balls by sitting cross legged too quickly and hitting with my heel.
Wait until a loose toilet seat at a public bathroom slides to the side, and with all the motion, they get pinched between the seat and the porcelain.
😰 Oh dear, I know it’s going to happen now 😓
new fear unlocked
I’ve heard of Poseidon’s kiss but this is a new lvl of danger I’ve never heard of. Thx for the new toilet fear.
Poseidon’s pinch?
Davey Johnson’s Locker?
I drank water too hard.
Untag me, please.
I’m in this post and I don’t like it.
Nothing like sneezing so hard you get a crick in your neck for a week. 44.
Ffffffff
Sneezing is one of the top ways people throw out their backs.
After having my back go out twice from sneezing, I asked my doctor about it. He told me this life changing tip which so far (6 yrs) has never failed. When you feel a sneeze coming on, pull your shoulder blades back and look directly up, you can sneeze as hard as you want in this position and you will be fine. In my experience just the looking up is usually enough to protect the back, the pulled back shoulder blades is just an added layer of protection.
You ever have a sneeze you feel in your arms for about an hour? Like you sneeze, your blood pressure hits 9000 PSI for 8.2 milliseconds and your ghost aches for awhile?
Yes!
Can’t say I have - but that’s a very vivid description!
Nope, can’t say that I have. You should get that checked out.
Fart while sneezing also hurts. Feels like something ripping.
