Yeah, I pushed myself too hard for years and tore all three ligaments in my right shoulder, along with pulling my left elbow, and injuring my lower back.

Honestly I regret that I didn't either slow down how quickly I was trying to bulk, or take steroids so my body could keep up with it. It took surgery and 2 years of physical therapy to get to the point where I could function normally again, but the joint is still kind of loose and never will be 100%.

Not at the gym because I've always worked out from home. But all of my injuries were joint & connective tissue related. It's why now I really don't go heavier than they can handle & I'm always sure to warm-up, avoid inflammatory foods before training, drink enough water, etc.

  Did you need physical therapy or surgery?

  No, it healed by itself, seemed to take like a month. Happened twice with the same muscle. I pushed too much weight without working out. One can't work out a lot, then not work out for a decade and expect to not pull a muscle somewhere.

  True. When building muscles you have to take it slow.

Yeah, I was moving an elliptical and dropped it on my foot breaking a bone in my foot. I didn't even know I'd broken a bone till a doctors visit a year later.
