In 10 years I've never injured myself playing golf. That streak's over. Threw out my back using a 3w. Can't believe it. In so much pain I can barely stand up straight.

This is the second time my back has failed me, first time was 5 years ago during work. Oh, the mental agony of not being able to even swing a club...or a putter! What am I suppose to do for the next week.

That's rough man, I know what it's like. Hope you get better soon.

Its ok man, sometimes its just your body telling you to take a break. Use the time to do some reading, maybe some golf reading and just relax. While I'm not injured I feel I've played and practiced a little too much lately and I'm taking the next 3 days off of all things golf. Sorry to hear you hurt yourself man.

Hope you get better soon. Now, get those yardage books out, and do some course management work. What clubs to hit and when. LOL.

Seriously, I feel for ya. Rest, heat/ice and scotch.

I get hurt playing golf every time anymore. By the time I get back home after a round, my back is killing me.

Thankfully I still am young and don't have to worry about my back.

I was 29 the first time my back went out and have been dealing with it ever since.

Same here. I was 30 when I threw my back out the first time, I knew it would never be the same. What sucks is a local bank just asked me to play in their charity tournament next month. I was so looking forward to practicing! Agh.

No muscle or back injuries, but every time I walk the course I get some wicked chafing. I won't say where.

[romalama]

sucks, hoping u bounce back quickly!

The key is to take the proper time to get healthy and not try to test it to soon. I just had my wrist cutt up and i am dieing to get back on the course. My wife even threatened to lock up my clubs because i keep tring to test swing them to see how it feels. To make matter worse i drive past course and they are doing tournament today and all my buddys wave and text me saying they wish i could be out there. Oh the tourture

That's called Karma

No, it's called I have a messed up back.

I wish my first post was a shot at a mod.

I'm not thinking it's his first post ever, but only his first post this time.

I was 29 first time I messed up my back doing some plumbing work at the house. I was sidelined for about 5months

That. Just. Happened. (tapatalk)

+1 on the scotch. Although a vodka martini is another solid remedy.

It will be one week tomorrow (around 5:45 CST to be exact) when I injured my back. I am very happy to report after a pretty painful and uncomfortable week, I feel much better today. I went to the doctor to confirm it was nothing serious, and I was prescribed a muscle relaxer that helped me sleep. I was feeling good enough earlier today that I seriously considered taking a few swings in the garage when I was taking out the trash. Common sense prevailed though, and I plan on taking another week off (or at least until tomorrow afternoon).

I found a heating pad really helped keep me loose. Get well soon.

I had back surgery about 5 years ago to repair some damage around the L5-S1 area. Last year about this time, I was getting back into a boat via the swim platform after doing some watersports that can be rough on the back and when I stood up straight my shoulders were not aligned directly over my pelvis - they were about 5 inches to the left of where they should be....looked very freaky. Did a bunch of work with a chiro between adustments and electro therapy and it cleared up after about 6 weeks.

Fast forward to this morning - did nothing special to aggravate it and it happened AGAIN. Sitting in bed now sipping on a vodka and already took a pill for muscle spasms. Feels ok when I stand up but after being on my feet for about 5 minutes, my alignment is jacked and it hurts like hell.

May take a photo later to be excused from iron testing for a short period of time.

Well, I actually think I pulled my left calf playing at the range the other day. I don't know how I did it but it really stings.

Getting old stinks but sounds like a muscle pull and as painful as they are excercise and stretching are very good for your swing. This time off may be the time to start thinking about training your core which is critical for golf and prevent injury
