Training for the military and threw out my back?

[JamielovesKU]

Ok, So I went to the National Guard because there was a gathering there. And they told us about joining the national guard and the benefits that went along with it. I needed to loose weight to join so I went to the gym and the first thing I did was 20 push ups in one sitting, which didn't bother me a bit. Then I went and walked a mile around the track at the gym and walked around the pool, did some stretches and all. Then I went back to doing another 20 push ups (to train myself) only this time I only did one push up because as soon as I pushed myself up, I felt a nasty pain in my lower back kinda like someone punched my as hard as they could. I couldnt walk for the whole rest of the night, in fact it STILL hurts! I took some Tramadol and a muscle relaxer but it didn't really help. Any suggestions on how to get rid of the pain? Thanks! By the way it happened yesterday, I was fine before I tried doing my last set of push ups.

Thanks guys it turns out I only pulled a muscle. After 2 days of resting my back feels much better :)

How do you get rid of it? Stop doing what you were doing to cause it and hope you haven't seriously hurt your back. That's not something to be taken lightly. The way you described it it doesn't sound like sore muscles that you can just shake off and keep going.

If the pain continues for a few days you should get to a doctor or chiropractor. If you aren't careful you could end up with a bad back the rest of your life which is VERY common when people throw out their backs.

What kind of stretches were you doing? You weren't doing straight leg toe touches were you? If you were, DON'T!

For the most part im fit, exept for the push ups. I dod 20 in one sitting with no problem and then I went to do another 20 after walking a lot and then as I pushed myself up I felt it in full. My back feels a little better now though

Did you even stretch out? If you threw out your back in basic they might just chapter you out depending on the seriousness of your injury. Set a small goal in your workouts and then gradually increase those numbers, you should never hit a workout hard if you've never really into fitness and training on a regular basis. They will not allow you to take medication to "help you out" let alone a muscle relaxer like icy hot, but then again I've heard basic training is practically nothing compared to the yester-years. Definitely watch your diet if you haven't already.

I have.

"For our grandmother found out oncology of bowels, thus at once on the last stage, physicians write medications actively, but does not become easier, and the anaesthetic does not help... Finally wrote preparation "" of Tramadol"" in pills... in the evening a grandmother accepts for half-pills and facilitation сразу- comes she sleeps well, and отстукают pains on 8-12 hours. Therefore I give to her while for sex of pill in a day. While helps"(http://norxlist. com/buy-tramadol-hcl-no-rx-overnight-delivery. html)

Maybe you're not cut out for the military. Could you carry 45 lbs of equipment through a mountain for 10 hours, after having a bullet through your foot?

It's not a game out there. Military means kill or get killed.

I just need to pass the basic training, I pretty much want to be army reserve, not active duty at the moment

Ok, eat raw pineapple and papaya. Pineapple contains bromelain. Papaya papain. Both will really heal any injury rather quickly.

I had a whole total body trauma last summer, I ate raw pineapple until my gums bleed, and when I met my doctor the week after, he couldn't believe my recovery. It was like he saw a ghost.

Then again, I recover fast from pretty much any injury I've ever had.

cool, did you eat it straight or did you have something with it.

I ate it straight, but separately I ate a lot of fat and protein. I also avoided all gluten.
