Today, I went to the doctor to get a pulled arm muscle checked. I told him I had been bowling, and it had just started to hurt badly. He said it was normal for a man of my age (35) to pull a muscle when lifting a ball of 12-15 pounds. I then told him it was on my son's Wii. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
Today, after I'd spent two weeks convincing my friends I could definitely beat them at bowling, on the first throw of the night, I slipped, launched the ball into the gutter three feet in front of me, and somehow pulled a muscle in my back. FML
Today, I sprained an arm muscle while pretending to lift weights. FML
Today, I sprained my bicep. The urgent care doctor told me to take it easy on weight lifting. When I told him I hurt myself holding a book, he had to leave the room because he couldn’t stop laughing. FML
Today, I pulled a muscle in my arm while wiping my butt. FML
Today, I pulled a muscle by doing absolutely nothing and now I can’t bend over without excruciating pain. I’m 15 and exercise regularly. FML
Today, I pulled a muscle. Not in any kind of sport or exercise, but while reaching for my computer mouse. 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, I realized that every time I play video games, my wrist and elbows always end up hurting so badly from holding my controller/handheld games. I always have to apply bengay and wear braces. Arthritis is creeping up on me harshly, and I’m still young so this sucks. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Repetitive motion damage is very easy with Wii Sports. Just make sure you do some stretches before playing.

Don't forget those quad stretches.

Like #4 said. Repetetive motion, no matter what you're doing or lifting is going to break down some muscle fibers or even pull something eventually- especially if you are not moving in a correct range of motion.

Fake!! This was a joke in MAD magazine a few months ago!!

so it can't happen to him too?

My thoughts exactly #15. Typical losers on places like FML and youtube calling stuff fake because their pathetic minds can't comprehend the fact that any given event can happen to more than 1 person or that anything is possible in life.

It can happen to anyone.

I think the only cure fir this boring fml would be for you to kill your children and commit suicide so that your weak genes don't pollute the human race. and maybe take ur wife out too for marrying such a pussy

I bet anyone it wasn't the wii, rather something else which gave him these injuries, if ya know what I mean.

think about it 27...what do men do with their wrists when they get bored involving a lot of repeated motion? you know, kind of around their middle parts...no? sigh...

I'm going to find this impossible to believe,...unless you're really senile for your age. There's no way you can pull your muscle while playing the Wii unless you're drunk, high, or severely disabled, which I doubt. Half of my patients who are twice your age and are in wheelchairs can play the bowling game on the Wii and not pull a muscle, and they're between ages 60-90!

i'm only 26 and it happened to me. I played tennis on my brother's wii, but i guess the actual game isn't the point here.

I'm 24 and a marathon runner, I played Wii bowling and golf and was sore. I think it was the competitiveness of it that did it for me.. :P

And I would be 20 years old and have repetativly pulled shoulders playing wii boxing, though I never have while boxing normally. It happens. It's not like you are actually moving properly when on the Wii, you move muscles in ways you aren't supposed to.

Nope, not arguing. I was just stating my opinion.

I've hurt myself on the wii before. I sometimes get to into it and twist my body funny. Or pop something. One of these days I'm really gunna get hurt. Those lucky senile people go slow, the younger ones go fast and crazy

Hey! Don't make fun of the poor dude! I managed to hit myself in the head with a rockband guitar, and I was sitting calmly in a chair,and I wasn't drunk or high. My mom just insisted on us playing the country version.*shudders*
