P-Side Training: Developing the Beast (the ultimate athlete)

[P-funk]

Arggg.. Bugger P. I'm sorry to hear that.

Are you going to go in for surgery ASAP? Did your doc say how long out of training will it mean?

I have to call and make an appointment for surgery today. I have a client that is a surgeon and in charge of the sports medecine Dept. at the hopspital so I have to see if he can pull some strings for me so I don't have to wait long.


After that it is supposed to be a 6 week recorvery period from training. As you can imagine I am pretty upset. I tried to barter with the ER surgeon when she told me that. She said maybe after 2 weeks post OP I can ride a bike but no lifting.


It sucks. I was feeling awesome too coming into this meet. Confident and everything and for once, in the past 3 weeks my pinched nerves in my neck have relaxed and my shoulders felt awesome.

That sucks after all the training that you've done. Life sure does suck sometimes.

Will this help?

In surgery a man with a hernia,
Said to the doctor, "God dernia,"
"When improving my middle"
"Be sure you don't fiddle"
"With things that do not concern-ia".

That sucks shit man. Now you will have plenty of time to study at least.

yea, I know. But I am still fucking wrecked without training.

 

[The Monkey Man]

I trained until right before my OP

And began training like 3-4 weeks after using super slow tempo motions

and started with teeny little weights

Use your recovery time wisely, you will be able to study,
and carefully plan your triumphant return with an intricate,
and solid, well researched game plan!!!

Funky!!! I'm sorry to hear this I know how hard it is to not train but remember what you would tell a client..................heal first!

Just take it easy post surgery and you'll be back at the lifts in no time.

 

[CowPimp]

Damn that sucks! I'm sure you'll heal quicker than most though thanks to your great physical condition and attention to nutrition.

I know how you feel, but it's awesome when you get back into the swing of things. That first week back of being perpetually sore is great. Haha.

 

[Dale Mabry]

Hey, that sucks, I was figuring on dressing up injured like in spies like us so that I could cheat off of you. Looks like you are going to be Emmitt Fitzhume now. I wouldn't copy my answers on the facility layout section, I may breeze thru that one.

 

[yellowmoomba]

That sucks man! Join the club.....many of us had hernias (mine was last summer). I only took 11 days off from the gym. I started back with a lot of upper body HS exercises. It took a little longer to start doing legs again but you'll heal in NO TIME!

Good luck!

fuck you man!! I laughed so hard reading that post. That movie was great! God damn it, when i laugh I strain and when I strain.....IT HURTS!!!

 

[P-funk]

Pimp, Jodi and yellow- thanks. I know I will comeback! I think one of the best things about it is that I will loose some (hopefully not much) leg strength which will mean that I have to be that more on point with my technique in the lifts in order to make them. I will be able to start light and focus on my technique more. It is really going to be hard to not squat heavy for awhile though. I miss it already.

posted this on other journal of mine. Thought I would update this one:


i don't know. I am really fucked up right now! On monday night I woke up to go take a pee. I steped out of bed and I got hit with a sharp pain in my right side like someone stabed me with a knife. I figured it was just gas. I woke up the next morning to the same pain when I blew my nose so I figured it was hernia. I am a personal trainer so I asked one of my Doctor clients what he though. he felt my abdominals and felt the bump and said it wasn't hernia but it was probably just a muscle strain and that my abs are really strong and there is no tear in them. I also train an Orthopedic surgeon who is very respected and is the head of Sports Medecine at the Hospital here in NYC. He didn't think it was hernia but didn't examine me. He just took an educated guess judging by my symtoms and said it was an abdominal strain from lifting. okay cool! Then the pain got really bad so I hobbled into the ER and what I wrote above is what happend last night. So I told my Orthopedic surgeon. He said...there is no way it is hernia. You need to see a general surgeon. Don't let them cut you open. I don't trust the residence in the ER.


So something is wrong with me. They said my CAT scan showed that I had lots and lots of fecal matter blocked in my intenstines. But, I haven't gained any weight? One Doctor last night said my lymphnodes are swollen. Yet I am not sick? They tested my blood and my blood was normal as was my white blood cell count ruling out a viral infection?? SO what the fuck is wrong with me?

All i know is that when I ahve to go to the bathroom I get this bloating and pain in my side and a small protrusion. If I laugh, blow my nose or strain I get pain and a protrusion. yet, there is no break in my abdominal wall??

This suck.

Very bizarre. Unfortunately, abdominal pain is a bitch to diagnose. There is so much variety in what can go wrong. That's good it's not a hernia though. Hopefully whatever it is won't require surgery after all.

What's your next step? You plan on seeing a general surgeon as suggested?

I don't know if it is hernia! that is the problem. 2 surgeons and one Dr. said it is. one surgeon and one other Dr. say it isn't.

no one knows. I wont see a surgeon unless i know because a sugeon's job is to cut you open and that is what they want to do. I refuse to have someone cut me open if i don't need it. i am not going to be some surgical resiodents exploratory mission. I need to see an internist.

I feel you on that one. Definitely better to play it safe. Going into unecessary surgery would be pretty horrible. Is there any type of general treatment you can provide to yourself in the meantime?

Well, the Dr. in the ER perscribed me some stuff to help loosen me up. Called GlycoLax. But is hasn't helped at all.

Damn man, blower. Well, just relax in the meantime. Hopefully you can get some kind of straight answer here eventually. Fucking abdominal pain!

I am hoping it is just like a torn oblique muscle (but I don't know how to explain my intestinal blockage though). basically, who the fuck knows. I don't want to sit around and not lift though. this sucks nuts.

I went to the meet today to watch. I would have placed top three in the 77kg class this afternoon.

 

[BritChick]

Holy shit!!!
Patrick I'm so sorry to hear this and the fact that you still don't know what the fuck it is that's wrong with you. I totally hear you on not letting anyone cut you open unless you are certain of the cause of your problems and guaranteed that it will fix you. Hope you get some answers soon, more importantly hope you feel better soon!

Indeed. Just hope for the best. If you are only out for a brief period it might be good for you mentally. By the time you come back you will be ready to throw around some iron.

I went to the meet today to watch. I would have placed top three in the 77kg class this afternoon.

Don't be sad. Be happy. You know you would have placed well, and that definitely counts for something!

 

[Rocco32]

That sucks Patrick, I'm really sorry. What your describing does not sound like a hernia, you really should see an internist. I hope everything goes well buddy, I'm here for you!!!!!

 

[PreMier]

CRYBABY!

Don't fuel this fire. He's a total hypochondriac!!!!

 

[P-funk]

[PreMier]
