Today, I won a local arm-wrestling tournament. Too bad I have to use the prize money to repair the tendon I tore in the competition. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, two days before a big weight lifting competition with a $3,000 grand prize, I broke my arm. FML
Today, I sprained an arm muscle while pretending to lift weights. FML
Today, I found out that I'm highly-placed in my wrestling competition this year. I also found out that I have mono and won't be able to take part for at least the first half of the competition. FML
Today, at school I pulled my bicep muscle arm wrestling. I lost. He was 14. I'm the 23 year old security guard. FML
Today, I had to buy a wrist brace for a repetitive strain injury. I got the injury because I was knitting too much. I'm 22. FML
Today, my girlfriend thought she was stronger than me so we arm wrestled. She won. I used both hands. FML
Today, I realized how weak I truly am when I tore a muscle in my hand trying to discreetly fix a wedgie. 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 tried to impress my wife by doing a bunch of push-ups, despite having a bad shoulder. She told me my form sucks and that I'm an idiot. Now I can barely move my arm and I'm going to have to get it fixed. FML
Today, a doctor examined my wrist, which is completely swollen and painful. He diagnosed a case of tendonitis and asked me, "Do you use this hand for a particular sort of sport?" I just smiled like a twit. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I guess you could say you're ripped

Just remember, it's better to have a torn tendon than a prolapsed anus in a weight lifting competion. It's still a win! Good luck OP!

You can have the pride of winning as your prize!
xlord 27
Screw the pride, I'd rather have money. That's why I worked at McDonald's when I was younger :(

OP would still have his money if they had free health care!

Ripped? That doesn't make sense... But also NOT IN CANADA.

YDI. It's not hard to feel when to stop and when the body can't take it anymore.

He had to do it for his honor!

Well sometimes due to adrenaline, we don't always feel our muscle tearing. I had a similar experience when I was maxing out on squats and somehow tore my right lat (that's what they told me) without knowing it for a good while. Like #25 said.

It's like that FML where that guy got a paycheck for $840 and on the way to the bank he broke his suspension, and it would cost $800 to fix.

Can I have the link to that?

Arm wrestling tournament? Did you guys then beat your chests while uttering primal screams?

What's wrong with arm wrestling? It's fun, I used to arm wrestle my brother and his friends all the time, and I won!

Because arm-wrestling is only for brutes. Good work being close-minded and presumptuous; hopefully that stick doesn't get in the way of you sitting down, unless you like that kind of thing.

Let's not agitate them, Pleo. We don't know how good they are at ass-fencing.

From what i understand this sort of thing happens frequently at arm wrestling tournaments...yeah it sucks but surely you're not surprised!?

There's a tendon-cy that these things happen, don't worry OP I'm sure you'll but strung back together in no time and rip other people up.

Yikes! It could've been worse, You'll be fine though! :D Im curious, how much was the prize money? ^_^ Congrats!
AngrySailor 17
"you'll be fine"?? Are you a doctor? I'm not either but but seems like OP will require surgery to repair said "torn" tendon. Perhaps out definitions of "fine" differ.
tllom 11
I actually am! ^_^ It's not the end of the world, simmer down.

Oh. Ok Dr. Nick. My bad. Smh...

Must've been a pretty tough competition for that to happen, huh? Congratulations anyway
