What's the strangest way you've ever hurt yourself? Has anyone out there ever torn a rotator cuff opening a jar of peanut butter? Or maybe broken a finger by falling UP the stairs? Neither of those have happened to me but I've got a couple strange ones going on right now.
After spending a week being really good about my self-treatment (stretching, rolling out on a foam cylinder, working my feet out on a golf ball, etc.) I managed to sprain a ligament in my ankle in a speed workout. I didn't roll over on it or anything, I was just sprinting. It's a minor strain and I'll be back on the track (but only in flats) on Monday, one week later.
Well, time for a pool session! I can't possibly hurt myself suspended in water, can I? Wrong. When I got out of the pool I noticed that my clavicle was sticking out a bit right where it connects to my ribs under my throat. Turns out my shoulder muscles didn't like all the hand-over-headness of swimming and decided to dislocate my clavicle by rotating it part way off my chest. Great. Since it only came off a little bit I'll make a full recovery, but it's severely annoying.
