TIFU by giving myself an actual neck injury during sex

So this actually occurred 3-4 years ago and I only found out today what’s actually wrong.

My partner and I, both women, decided to have some fun one night. At some point I was doing myself with a toy while also doing my girlfriend. We were laying in an L shape and I think the problem was that I couldn’t stretch my arm out as much as I needed to. As the big finish occurred I felt a muscle pull at the back of my neck as far as I thought it could go and then it stretched even more. I can only imagine comparing it to stretching a deflated balloon so far the color distorts.

The pain was immediate and confusing cause I was right in the middle. It felt like a ton of fire ants marching up and down that muscle and like I could suddenly puke.

I just assumed it was a neck strain from hell and it took a few weeks to start feeling like a functional human again. I had to stop using a pillow and be careful how I turned my neck. Now, I still don’t use a pillow, which I actually kind of enjoy now, alcohol can make the injury flair (inflammation), and the flairs can give me massive tension headaches that make me nauseous. Even half a beer can do it. I’m not a huge drinker but I’d like to go back to enjoying a single drink without worry.

The first time I went to the doctor for it, maybe 2 years after, she didn’t take me seriously and just suggested painkillers. I finally went to a different doctor a few weeks ago and she immediately sent me for an X-ray.

Results: I have straightening of the cervical spine. You’re supposed to have a natural curve. The tension from it can cause fatigue, neck and back pain, headaches. Google describes it as an injury that would occur during sudden traumatic accidents such as a car accident. Described like that I certainly did a number on myself.

I’m now set up for physical therapy and painkillers. An MRI will follow if PT doesn’t help after a few months.

Edit - to clarify, I felt the strain coming on before it actually hit and I still kept going. I could’ve prevented years of pain if I’d just stopped.

TL;DR - caused myself to have straightening of the spine during sex which has resulted in 3-4 years of neck pain and tension headaches.

TIFU by forgetting my purse and attempting to get fuel

Not the craziest story but hey. I'm obligated to say this was a few months ago but I cringe every time I go past the petrol station . My petrol was getting low, not dangerously so but it said 27 miles left, (oftentimes it then suddenly drops to about 16 for example, and then 5 and then 0 very fast) I didnt have my purse on me as I just didn't need it... Picked my daughter up from school and then went on to collect my 2 stepdaughters from across town and then set off for home. En route the gauge went to 7 and then suddenly it was 1 so I stopped at the petrol station near our house. The petrol was on 0 as i pulled up to the pump and that's when I realised I had no money. I left the kids in the car at the pump and went in to talk to the cashier, it wasn't mega busy but there was a queue, I'd heard that they can help you if you can't pay for fuel. Like keeping something of yours as security. It was an elderly man and he basically refused to help. At this point i...

TIFU - Don’t do what I did

On Sunday morning Aug. 24th, I awoke to discover a large blind spot in my right eye, which turned out to be what is called wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It has resulted in a very significant, permanent loss of vision in that eye. Although I maintain good peripheral vision, whatever I focus on at best is very blurry, and mostly disappears. I can barely make out the large E at the top of the eye chart. If this happens to my left eye I’ll be unable to read or drive. It turns out that I missed the opportunity that I had to prevent this from becoming a serious problem because I failed to report what appeared to be minor changes in my vision. In the weeks prior to August I had noticed that what I knew to be straight lines appeared to my right eye to have a little waviness. I also noticed that the color of my front lawn, which I could see through the window from my recliner,  was subdued, looked almost gray, in my right eye. So I scheduled an eye exam, which revealed the p...

TIFU by getting suspended for 2 days by my front office in school.

I (13M) am an African American student at Jeannette junior high who had got suspended for 2 days here. I was in math class minding my business until my teacher had told me to go to the main office, which posed no problem to me. As i went down there, the people of the front office had stopped me and made me get a new ID (yes, we have id's.) so i had asked them if i could maybe do a different alternative and call my mother to let her bring the Id here, even then, the Id isn't that important. So, although i was talking to them in a calm manner and not showing any signs of rebellion, they had threatened to call the police on me without thinking twice before calling my parents. This is where i started getting angry, and even then now the black peers agree that could have been a racially motivated action. They then told me to sit in the office conference room because of that, leading into more anger. They had then called my mother who had came over to the school didn't even let ...
