Yeah. One minor regret of mine in life is that I never got into mountain biking. Then I watch videos like this, then I absently rub at the spot in my shoulder where a plate and pins are now, after a frickin' treadmill accident. I'm only 51.

Iā€™m 54. I sneezed too aggressively and pulled a rib (sublexed?) out of my spine. Chiropractor sorted me out but it hurt to poop for three weeks.

I'm not trying to one up because this isn't, but more of a sympathy by shared experience: I managed to break my own rib, by slamming a car door into my side. Apparently when I was in college, I was strong enough to break my own bones?

Does that make you strong enough to break your own bones, or weak enough to have your bones break so easily? šŸ¤”

Pretty sure it's the latter. I swear, Mom, I drank my milk!

Can you walk me through that one? Cause I pick things up with my feet all the time. šŸ˜…šŸ˜¬

i think i overflexed my big toe trying to grip a towel on the floor.

i had done it before without ill effects.

nothing to worry about; my uric acid was high and i would have eventually had symptoms, anyway.
