i've recently gotten into and have fallen in love with brazilian jiu jitsu (bjj). the rush/high i get from training is amazing and i'm addicted, so i go a minimum of 4 days a week. simply put, it's my new drug.
last week during a "techniques" class i was partnered up with a "new" guy during on of the rotations in our rolling session. i've been warned and have heard/read horror stories about "new-er" students who muscle up and spaz out, but i guess i wasn't careful enough..(?) most of my partners have at least a min. of 50 lbs on me, but i always manage. my partner (at the time) wanted to put me in a certain sub/lock that we had learned recently, but since the placements were off (my arm), i didn't realize that i was being put in a hold. also during rolling sessions, we slowly apply pressure instead of going full force, but before i knew it, my arm was cranked/yanked and i heard a disturbing "crack/pop" noise from my chest/shoulder area. i was told that i have strained and/or possibly tore my chest muscle and even doing normal everyday routines are painful. which means training is out of the question for the meantime and i can't even go to the gym without any pain. i'm sitting here frustrated/bitter because exercise is my biggest positive outlet and i don't know what to do...  does anyone have any suggestions for me to temporarily replace exercising with another positive outlet?

have you try walking... or exercise in the water...
Maybe you could see a physiotherapist and ask what it possible? If any exercise is out, use that time to catch up to visit friends, go out, explore your town, take a course online... Good luck and don't stay on the couch to long. Sooner you find something, easier it will be. Carla |

It does seem to be feeling a lot better. I can manage to sit up with minimal pain and manage to put clothes on/off without excruciating pain. Hopefully it will heal this week.

I'm sorry--that sucks to have something you love to do and then that something is the cause for it to be taken away. at least it's just temporary. hope you feel better soon!
