This is the report I typed up to give to this hip doctor today, just in case I was too hysterical to fully explain what’s wrong. And I am really glad I typed it up because as soon as the nurse asked me what was wrong, I started crying and just say “my hips and knees”. LOL He just asks to the the report.
Patient Info:
Age:21
Sex: F
Height: 5’1”
Weight: 115 lbs
Background:
Tore left ACL in 2015 and had a complete reconstruction. Knee felt fine after, was able to run and squat with heavy weight.
A year ago I was running 4 miles a day, and lifting very heavy 5-6 times a week. I tried working out lightly during February and March but could not get near was I was doing before. Since early June I have been doing only yoga (2 or 3 times a week) and swimming (1 or 2 times a week. But in the last week I can not do any of that with out significant pain after a few minutes.
I live on the second floor; nobody really helps me at home.
Has been on and off Meloxicam and Flexeril since August 2020 originally for upper back issues from poor form and excessive exercise, and well as from ‘text neck’ and ‘depression slump’.
Dr. Dickinman recommended I go see Burt Hole for PT. Both of them referred me to this office.
Have been taking 1 or 2 Ibuprofen 2-3 times a day almost consistently since July 2021.
I have a job that requires me to do a little walking, bending, and standing but it is mostly sitting. I feel an 8/10 pain near the end of my day. No matter what position I am in, unless I’m in the tub or about to fall asleep.
I have an issue staying still.
Goals:
I’d like to be able to run and work out again EVENTUALLY.
Pain Timeline:
June 2020: Upper back pain starts due to excessive exercise, poor form, and ‘depression slumping’.
August 2020: Started physical therapy for upper back but discontinue after 2 sessions. Start on 15mg Meloxicam and 5mg Flexeril.
Mid December 2020-February 2021: I begin to exercise excessively, even more so than before. This time I am getting very little sleep. In the middle of January, I begin to notice that my knees hurt, but I brush it off and continue even after my performance begins to suffer. The pain gradually gets worse.
February 2021: I collapse while cooking at a friend’s house and can not get up. There was no popping sound, the pain just becomes unbearable. I get my knee imaged. Report is attached at the end. Have been taking Meloxicam and Flexeril every other day or so.

INTRODUCTION
We already have a section in the Wiki about kinesiophobia and overtraining. I think it’s prudent to type up a long form post directly addressing some of the dummy fear mongering I’ve seen in the online kettlebell communities. I’m going to address specific diseases that individuals have suggested will happen from lifting here on Reddit and why I think they’re silly to suggest.
To understand why these diseases are silly I’m going to describe the pathophysiology (what’s going on that is causing these diseases), the incidence (how often does someone get diagnosed with this disease whereas prevalence is how many people have the disease right now), the demographic/risk factors for disease presentation, and how we manage/prevent these diseases from happening or getting worse.
My big issue with lay individuals talking about diseases is that they lack the ability to contextualize diseases. So yes, there is always a chance that you will rupture an aneurysm with lifting, but no one complains about driving in a car when that’s the number 1 way to die in the 20-44 demographic. We don’t tell people not to drive, yet we’re apt to tell individuals not to lift even though mortality related to lifting is exceptionally uncommon.
Similar to this line of thinking is that flag football has the same chance of injuring individuals as balling. I’ve never read on Reddit people saying not to play recreational sports for fear of injury, but open up any feat of strength comment section and “snap city” “your back is gonna die” are highly upvoted.
My intention in writing this is to show that often individuals who make comments like this lack the awareness or knowledge to give out lucid recommendations to others online.
“YOUR JOINTS WILL BE DEAD WHEN YOU’RE 60”
This is a common phrase I see on Reddit. The ideation is that by using your joints in normal exercise they will degenerate over time. Let's dive into this one and see the evidence on what’s actually going on.
When I think of joint degeneration I think of a disease called osteoarthritis. This is a common disease that will eventually happen to every single person if they live long enough and if we ever discover the elixir for immortality this will be one of the challenges that we have to overcome.
Pathophysiology of osteoarthritis: At the end of your joints you have something called articular cartilage, it’s the smooth white part at the end of chicken bones. Articular cartilages main job is to provide a

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

Pilot on me!!
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.

Me grabbing a soda from my (what I thought was) half full 12pk...
Notices there's only 2;
Me: "Awe man... This is a damn bird box!" Her: "What the hell does that mean?!" Me: (Pulls both cans out & shows them to her) "It's only got Toucans."
I'm not ashamed to admit the look on her face was glorious.
I was just sitting there doing nothing.
“BOOM”?!
"That's what they're fighting about."
