Had a bag at the head of my bed, woke up, still laying down, reached over my head to grab something out of it, went to pull back “down” and tore my rotator cuff. I was 20.

I once fractured my fibula blowing out a candle. I was, like, 17. You're telling me it's going to get WORSE?!
It may already be too late for you.

yoga is real good for this tbh
This. Just a bit of stretching and light exercise 10 mins a day can do miracles. Edit: He said, and just one day after tore all muscles in his shoulder and arm from scratching his butt while walking.
I dislike yoga more than I like not having some micro injuries
Hey if you type beginner stretches into YouTube do any of them look like you won’t hate them?
Random example:
Genuinely dislike stretching. I probably wouldn't if I did them, but starting sucks most
We could do one crappy painful one tomorrow for sixty seconds and eventually see if you’re right on “probably”, here actually:
Voice assistant, set alarm for 1 PM (Pacific) called stretch | Kusi
OK! Thank you, I will move myself esp after some gym dude said something to me like “if you never exercise in your life but you at least stretch” something about better when older. Doin’ it for me thx 2 u (AKA no pressure 😎)
Yep. Life changing.
Sneezed on the toilet once with my head turned. Neck was frozen for like a week after that one lol.
Sprained my back sneezing and the military medical officer insinuated that it is not possible and I was malingering... Hope that fella live a long life...

55 here, I'm a regular runner, not a problem, even ½ marathons. However, I can just be walking to work in the most comfortable shoes, and my ankle randomly gives out, I can't even move. 5 minutes later it's back to normal heh.

I messed up my back today putting on my shoes. I may be crippled for life now. Not sure, but it feels like it.
Is this shit why boomers are always so good damn angry? Ffs I'm 35.
I'm starting to get it. But I'm a trooper and I'm not gonna blame it on the kids just yet. I'm just an out of shape alcoholic. What do I know?
But also, they should get off my lawn and their raps music is too loud. And their haircuts make them look like a discount ear swab. /S
Every yawn comes with its own risk of dislocating my jaw.
I'm not the only one!?
Staying in shape has helped prevent most other silly injuries though.

I woke up from a good sleep last year, got up refreshed and ready for work. First time in years that it happened. Stood up and did a big yawn and stretch, then felt a sharp ripping feeling in my back. I tore a muscle stretching. I was 29 and it still wants to lock up today.
Bonus; tore it a year before almost to the day by literally just rolling over in bed. I felt it happen, said "aw fuck" and went back to sleep. Road trip to Maine and Martha's Vineyard cancelled because the pain was too intense to drive.
Yep, tore my meniscus in my knee a month ago shifting my weight standing still in my kitchen
I tore mine around age fifteen. I was kneeling in a garden helping a senior lady garden. Felt a weird pop when standing up. Didn't even realize anything was particularly wrong until my knee stopped supporting me later in the day.
I still remember chugging a Gatorade after work one summer and feeling like someone straight jump kicked me in the chest.
I'm in this post and I don't like it.
I went jogging, misstepped and then had back pains for the next 3 weeks. I walked like Quasimodo the first couple of days.
I hurt myself with a secateur!
I made a false move when picking it up.
