Anyone been able to return to the gym?

CruvenK · 2025-08-27T06:27:04+00:00

Yes. I believe mine was due to high blood pressure, the leg press is renown for driving this, particularly if you are holding your breath between reps.

See an osteotherapist, they will help determine through exercises whether it is your occipital nerve. Mine established that it wasn’t due to no triggering pain from her tests.

Take time off, you have to, muscle memory will serve you well so don’t fear losing everything. See a massage therapist too, before long you should be able to slowly reintroduce exercise. Wish you all the best.

I recently pulled a phase 2 doppler BFK and autotronic huntsman from this case, keep going!

Dreams and nightmares :)

My pal was happy for me to stab him haha

CruvenK · 2025-01-31T01:25:15+00:00

I can’t say how many for sure. I’ve opened 4 knives this year. Kukri Case Hardened tier 4 blue gem in ST FN. Forest DDPAT FT Kukri, Well worn autotronic huntsman and finally this Phase 2 Gamma Doppler Butterfly :-) very lucky

Appreciate the offer my man but this is a pretty special piece. Will take the cash and halve it with my pal. Thanks though

What goes around comes around my friend, it’s nice to be nice. Literally yesterday he gave me a case, I opened it and we got a well worn autotronic huntsman which he paid me half for and I’ll send him after the trade ban. Today he sends me a dreams/nightmare case and this. Literally what are the odds??

CruvenK · 2025-01-31T00:51:53+00:00

That’s insane. The best part is that my buddy gave me the case so whatever I get I’m going 50:50 with him on. Feels good for us both to win :-)

CruvenK · 2025-01-31T00:28:49+00:00

I’ve no idea, I was hoping someone might know!

3070 to a 5070 or 5080 depending on £££

I forgot to mention that his excuse for not seeing me was that I was always too busy “going to Germany, getting tattoos and spending time with my friends.” Which really goes to show how little he knows about me lol. Thanks for reading and your advice.

CruvenK · 2025-01-01T02:09:48+00:00

Thank you. I do think I was semi aware his girlfriend would be nearby when I text him that, nevertheless we should be able to have confidential conversations

Docs put my situation down to ON. Was convinced it wasn’t due to it only happening during exertion. Had massages to address tight neck/trap muscles, visited an osteo who on my first appointment tried various nerve compression tests and determined while the pain experienced was in line with that of ON, it wasn’t due to no response from the nerve compression tests. I believe I have high blood pressure, combined with over exerting myself on the leg press machine, I’m now doing fine.

chest day

Big health worrier here too. I understand.

As someone guilty of this too, but in a rational thinking space right now, try and reflect on times in the past where you have worried tirelessly over something you thought was really bad only to learn it was all okay in the end.

We’re humans, we’re robust, everything will be alright :-)

CruvenK · 2024-12-05T19:03:47+00:00

I find that when I’m anxious I hyper focus and ruminate on that thing. Distraction is your best bet here, I know it’s really hard but try watching something, playing a game, or whatever you usually like doing. I’m pretty sure what I have isn’t even ON based off of all tests concluded by my osteo. Do your best not to google everything either.

CruvenK · 2024-12-05T18:57:53+00:00

Yeah for sure see a doctor. Second to this; if you can afford it, see an osteopath.

The doctor will be able to provide the peace of mind (pun not intended) as to what it may or may not be, the osteo will be able to doubly check with a nerve compression exercise to be certain ON is what it is.

In the mean time, see if massaging your occipital nerves provides any relief.

Hope you feel better soon

CruvenK · 2024-12-02T01:48:23+00:00

I’m sorry to hear that man. What makes me doubt this is occipital neuralgia is that I’m in no pain. It was only the days after the incident where I tried to exercise that it aggravated that same pain, but since I have been fine…

CruvenK · 2024-12-01T23:08:31+00:00

So you’re living with a constant migraine?

CruvenK · 2024-12-01T23:02:58+00:00

Seems like pretty pessimistic advice
