Mystery right hip injury.
No specifice incident, no tell tale signs.
Just woke up with my hip in pain.
My physio is not helping. It's a mess

Bruised nerve in my elbow. Structurally fine, no problems with grip or function at all. Every now and then I'd just get an incredibly intense pain on the point of my elbow, absolute worst when the gi rubbed on it. Taken months to heal as well.

I once knocked myself out trying to do a Tae Kwon Do kick, while joking around after class.
Somehow, I managed to knee myself in the face.
I was out cold and lots of laughs were had at my failing ass.

Am at the stage where I need to warm up for warm up. I pulled my groin during warm up as I had not pre warmed up properly.

Had a 330lb dude bend my toe back to the top of my foot with his knee. Happened over 5 years ago and still hurts when the weather is changing.

I don't really get injured in Jiu-Jitsu anymore.
But I always get injured from other stuff.
Like when my car door is already open and then I open it a little bit more I mess up my shoulder. I did this to both of my shoulders in the same week somehow.
Opening car doors a little bit further that are already open is dangerous.

The weirdest injury I had was about a year ago and my teammate was passing my z-guard to side control. We were both flow rolling and he managed to lightly put his elbow against my ribcage and an immediate pain shot up my ribs and side. Could not roll for a few weeks. It was the strangest injury I received out of nowhere.

My first 2 years of training were the worst for injuries. I completely tore my lower pectoral muscle and dislocated my shoulder trying to defend a perfectly executed arm bar after my 3rd week of training then I spent the next 6 months training with one arm tucked in my Gi. I was motivated to continue training After accidentally stumbling upon the special tournament with disabled practitioners killing it on the mats. That’s been my position with injuries and jiu Jitsu training ever since.

I woke up on Christmas Day with aching hands, for no apparent reason. Healed in a few weeks time, but it keeps happening randomly. I think it may be related to perimenopause, like so many other weird things that happen to my body, but it's difficult to find out.

What’s the weirdest injury you’ve had while training? Mine was a Testicular torsion.
My dad had a torsion twice about 20years ago, and never happened again.
Fast foward:
Two years ago, after a tough and long roll, I sat down and immidiately felt pain in my groins, like somebpdy put a rope on it and pulled very heavy. Suddenly I reminded myself of my dads torsion and panicked. I packed my stuff and went straight to the ICU .
Doc: "Bro, if you had a torsion, you have not gotten here by yourself. It's nothing severly wrong, check tomorrow with your doc".
Long story short, I obviously had a kidney/bladder stone or whatever and it went down which caused the pain.
Never ever I was so frightened, as I was 100% sure to lose my balls :)
Ontopic:
I just got one injury while training - when I broke my nose while doing warm-up drills (drilling to go top from bottom halfguard as a whitebelt)... still cant figure out how that was physically possible)

I was foot swept and I turfed my toe into the mat. That’s not weird. What was weird was that it split the top of my toe open to the point I could see the tendons of my toe. Fortunately no fracture but I needed 6 stitches

Popped three ribs PERFORMING a clock choke!
When I was teaching at a police training academy, one of my students tore several muscles in his hand trying to choke me. You can tell people it's all about technique and not about strength, but when the testosterone hits, some guys do incredibly stupid things.

Broke my acromion ligament on the shoulder and got my collarbone liftet. Stayed like that forever. Doctor said to operate that they could take some ligament tissue from my knees and/or hips, and I said what knees? I have no ligament there anymore...
Shoulder is deformed and kind of hurts sometimes. Still rolling tho.

It's pathetic when you hurt yourself going for the move.. Getting old sucks at times

As one of my birthday cards read: "Don't think of it as getting old. Think of it as gaining mythic status!"

Well we only live once. If I get the wish to wake up 25 years ago i would do the same but even better. Training jiu-jitsu was the best choice of my life. It made me happy, give me apurpose and hold my feets on earth.

It happened 4 years ago and I re injured it 2 weeks ago when a opponent hit a sweet lateral drop against the cage. Time for some rehab to avoid the surgery

This is exactly how my Dr appointments go. I don't know what happened yet I'm busted up.
My doctor must be getting suspicious by now.
