A shoulder injury sidelined me for months, until I saw a lot of doctors and began PT for it. No surgery thankfully. Eventually getting back to lifting and HATING squats.
I then developed a rather embarrassing problem common to those who are novice lifters and hold their breath a bit wrong. It's painful, uncomfortable, itchy, and.... embarrassing. With the worlds most unpleseant medication it's finally resolved. Lifting with that issue would have prolonged the uncomfortablness of sitting.
Now, I cut one of my index fingers pretty decent at work. Every time I grip tight I reopen it. It's okay for regular tasks... but I'm waiting a bit for it to seal up better before lifting.
Everytime it's hard to get restarted, and I lower the weight. I can't wait to get back to normal. I had less than 1 year of solid 3 days a week when I goofed my shoulder. I miss feeling strong, and impressing myself. I can't wait to restart again soon.
