Today, after months of hardcore training, free of injuries, I pinched a nerve in my neck while putting on a swimsuit to lie in the sun doing nothing. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I pinched a nerve in my shoulder while pulling the bedcovers higher in the morning. After excruciating pain all day, I climbed back into bed at night, twisting my knee in the process. FML
Today, I decided to get in shape for swimsuit season, so I went to the gym. I tried to lift a barbell up and over my head, which was fine, until I dropped it. Exercise earned me a concussion and a neck brace. FML
Today, after taking care not to hurt myself during my workout, I injured my shoulder extricating myself from my sports bra. FML
Today, I got the most painful neck cramp of my life after whipping my head back in laughter at something that wasn't even that funny. FML
Today, I went to the gym to try to get into shape. I pulled a muscle taking my sweater off in the locker room. FML
Today, I pulled a neck muscle while head-banging. I wasn't at a concert, and I'm not in a heavy metal band, but I do pretend that I am while I'm in the shower. FML
Today, I sprained an arm muscle while pretending to lift weights. FML
Today, I was crossing the street and did a full on faceplant. The reason? I pinched a nerve in my foot a couple of days ago, and now it’s completely useless. It’s like walking around with a dead foot. I think I’d be better off hopping on one. FML
Today, I was at the gym, feeling pretty proud of myself for working out consistently for the past month. As I was about to grab a towel, I tripped and landed face-first into a pile of gym mats. People turned to look, and all I could do was try to laugh it off through the pain of what turned out to be a sprained ankle. FML
Today, I was in pain due to overdoing it at the gym yesterday, so I thought a hot shower might help. Not only was there no hot water because of my sister's hour long showers, but I slipped getting out and hit my head. Now the pain is worse. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

At least your strong enough to train hard. That's more than most of us can say. I'm sure you will bounce back!

Body was like "Nah, wanna be lazy? I'll give you a reason to be lazy"

The issue which led to this was probably pre-existing. The injury just manifested itself doing a mundane task. Your form may be off during your workout, or you may not be properly stretching, or you may not be working your minor supporting muscle groups. Ask a trainer or therapist to look at you and make recommendations. How you heal up fast.

Story of my life in sports. Body checked from every angle, hit with pucks where there's no padding, getting stick worked like crazy, no injuries. Random practice, skating around, wipe out.... Dislocated shoulder. -.- I feel you OP

It's most often the small things that mess you up. I once pinched a nerve stretching my muscles so i wouldn't pull anything. Life loves irony, OP.

I'm going to assume you did strength training or cardio... I hope you made sure you stretched enough.
