Two years ago this week I suffered a bad disc herniation that I caught on camera as I was deadlifting! This caused me months of severe left leg nerve pain and a significant loss of muscle power, which properly sucked big time! However, I decided to use this as... show more

My therapist prescribed me colourful tapes. Colours I used.

Herniated a disc decades ago and it was torture and, unlike you, I had 12 years of pain & discomfort thereafter. Then came Crossfit. They got me lifting. Once deadlift at about x1.5bw I was pain free. Bollocks to osteopaths and other posture/leg length/misalignment bs.

No way that was 2 years ago 🤯

Isnt “keeping as active as possible, and slowly and gradually returning back to all my activities…” EXERCISE????????

No… activity and exercise are different things!

This is amazing, and yea very contrary to the expensive techno physios of age. So basically, you worked through it by getting back at it little by little? What did you do the day of the injury? Any ice? Any stretching? Amazing recovery, and I'm so jealous of that Deadlift!

I rested up for the rest of the day as I was in agony! This was the position it was in most of the day!

Loved following this. I did a similar thing when I tore my pec doing Jiujitsu. Just chronicled myself gradually doing more push ups and pushing weight overhead week after week with an assist from a strength PT friend

Thanks for sharing - I had a similar injury around the same time. Your story definitely gave me hope and has helped me in my own recovery!

Thats great to hear Dan! 👍

In the past few weeks, many Arabs and Muslims have discovered that I am not heterosexual. Since then, they have weaponized my sexuality against me. Words like "gay" and "faggot" are hurled at me every day now. So let me get this straight. I am gay, and I am not ashamed of who I am. I was ashamed of myself in Yemen; for twenty years, I was taught to hate myself. As a child, I learned in school from my Islamic Studies teachers that I should be killed for something I never chose. Every night, I prayed to God, asking Him to cure me from the gay ”phase”, to make me "normal" so that I could go to Heaven as a good Muslim. My culture and my people convinced me that my very existence was a sin, that I was sick, and that the only cure for this supposed sickness was the death penalty. And honestly, I stand with Jews today, not as an act of defiance against my culture, as some believe. But because, as a gay man, I know what it feels like to be hated and loathed for something that I did not choose. Gay never occupied a Muslim country, yet we face death penalties in 13 Muslim countries and jail in 43 Muslim countries – simply for being gay. I stand against this. It’s called self-preservation. I am not ashamed of my sexuality. I am ashamed of my culture that seeks my blood because of something I did not choose. So, go ahead, call me gay, a faggot, a murtad, a kaffer. I no longer fear your words or knives. And most certainly, I am not afraid of the "Hell" that you keep speaking of. I lived through hell under Sharia for 20 years, where I was forced to conceal my identity so that I wouldn’t get killed. For simply exiting. For being different. I am privileged enough to say that I no longer fear you and that I no longer live under Sharia anymore. But I do fear for my gay brothers and sisters who still live among you and must endure a life of fear, denial, and taught self-hatred. Who are told in schools and mosques that they are sins and that they should be killed. I fear for their lives and I aim to be a voice for them. Because when I grew up in Yemen, I did not see a single person speak up for my rights and my right to existence. I wanna be the person that I wish 14-year-old me watched on the internet after coming back home from Islamic Studies classes, where my teachers taught me to be fearful of God and to believe that I should either conceal my identity or be killed.
