anyone have a clue?

[LatinBabe]

several days ago when i was working out a bit and was doing pull-ups i felt a sort of pop right between my shoulder blades. im not sure what it was and it doesnt hurt anymore, but there was a dull pain for awhile that felt as though someone was standing on my back. this happens everynow-and-then but my mom cant seem to figure out what it is, does anyone have a clue as to what it could be? it makes a loud sound, like the kind made when snapping a pencil. i dont worry much about it, but for some reason i was reminded of it when i was glancing through the forums. since it only happens when i work out, i figured someone here would know what it is.

yea yea, that's when your shoulder blades slide onto each other. its caused when you pull your shoulders back, or in your case, when you pull up, the shoulder blades skid over top one another. its not that big of a deal. you must be really tense when you're doing pullups to cause this though, like do you clench your upperbody together when you pull up? make sure you're doing pullups right, cuz these plates will start wearing each other down.

yea laxbabe is right. Before working out always stretch and get warmed up so things like that wont happen

[LatinBabe]

i thought about that, but it cant be. its like im popping my knuckles only right at the base of my neck. its not my shoulders blades, im pretty sure of that. its like im popping my spinal chord or something...but i dont really know for sure.

[mustang_lax]

maybe you cracked your back???

[smitt5168]

if your worried about it see your doctor

[mustang_lax]

or go visit a chiropractor to find out the problem.

[nVlax]

visit a physio rather than chiropractor...

yeah, if your tense or tight when you work out, get a message or something.

Talk to a doc. You may be doing the pull-up wrong. I row quite a lot and if I have an off day and my technique is off, that happens to me. He may get you to see a kinesiologist or a sports therapist. You show them what you're doing and then they tell you what you're doing wrong and how to fix it. I did that and it was awesome.

Definitely go to a Doctor.

i dont think its that important to scedule an apointment for a doc maybe talk to one of the phone.
i never go to the doc unless i broke somthing, maybe im just stupid but i dont see it as a big deal

but def dont just forget about it, get to the bottom of it and see if its in need of a doc

Interesting!! hehe that's pretty cool. Let us know when you can do cool tricks like twist 9 times around or somthin. :agree

[DrDetroit]

yes, once again, go to a doc. or just come to The Doc aka me.

[LatinBabe]

my joint doesnt bend that way sadly...it would actually bend in sync with the rest or my vertabrae, but since i do have all my ribs (unlike michael Jackson) i cant do any werid tricks.

[DrDetroit]

michael jackson and his non existant ribs. creepy.

[LatinBabe]

it may be a rumor...but didn he have some ribs removed...to do...well you know what....the thing guys do?...

[newbie]

I thought that was Marilyn Manson?

[Hutch]

the thing guys do?...?????????? Isn't that more like what gals do to guys? Last time I remember I guy giving up a rib was to help create woman.

[newbie]

Well, if you're religious you remember that.....
