TIFU by losing my cellphone at the grocery store

TIFU by not stretching for 30 years and not listening to my body

I am not a very flexible guy, I was never even close to touching my toes and I have been this way for most of my life. So I have just learned to live with it. I am also a pretty strong guy and do a lot of heavy lifting/ pretty physical jobs as well.

So I usually get a sore back or sore muscles that I take muscle relaxers to help was the pain until it goes away. Never really stretching to help ease the pain.

This never really caused any issues until about 2 years ago when it started getting painful around my waist when ai wore a belt. I didn’t really do anything about it just learned to deal with it by not putting my belt on as tight around my waist.

everything was ok for a while until the muscles in my stomach started to really hurt for no real reason. My 2 year old daughter had jumped on my stomach recently and I just thought it was because of that. Still I did nothing about addressing the issue.

Then my lack of maintenance on my body finally caught up to me last September, right before I moved into a new house. It felt like every muscle on the right side of my body constricted and made it extremely difficult to walk, put on socks or even turn in bed.

Even feeling this way I still just worked through the pain, not addressing the issue for a month thinking the pain will just go away. I had to use the muscles in my legs in order to lift my leg up and down to walk, making the muscles super tense. And when ai went to bed, those muscles twitched a lot as they relaxed. There was also a muscle behind my leg right below the glutes that made it feel like someone was taking a hot iron two the back of my leg, making it almost impossible to sleep.

So after a month of this I finally go to see a chiropractor auto see if they can fix the issue. And after some very painful tests she said my glutes were so tensed up that they were useless. And the muscles in my leg were trying to compensate for them. So she released all three glute muscles which gave me instant but not complete relief.

I next went to a physiotherapist to help further with my recovery. There she helped release more tensed up muscles until it wasn’t too bad to walk anymore.

Here’s the thing, for the last 9 months of my life since It first became incredibly painful for me, there are still muscles giving me pain. However I have figured out a solution. I have to twist my leg/ body in a certain way to get that specific muscle to stretch. And once I get that painful feeling I just stretch out that muscle aggressively, working through an immense amount of pain until that muscle is no longer painful.

I have had to do that with every single muscle on the right side of my body, because I still get pain. I am getting to the point now that it isn’t as painful anymore and I see a light at the end of the tunnel. But it has taken a lot of pain, effort and stretching to get me to this point.

Take my word of advise. Stretch, it is important to your health, also don’t ignore warning signs.

TL;DR I didn’t stretch for 30+ years and am now paying the price with an immense amount of pain

TIFU by walking into a glass door.

This just happened barely 30 minutes ago. Ended up with a nose bleed and some of the worst nose pain in my life. I can’t even wear glasses without the pressure hurting my nose. So, how did I make the same fuck up a bird would? I put on my sunglasses to leave an appointment and ended up walking nose first into a glass door. Shambling back in shock, I had no damn clue what I had just done. It shocked me so bad that I didn’t comprehend it until I felt liquid drip down my nose. I had turned into the world’s bloodiest leaking faucet. Someone witnessed this in their periphery and asked me if they needed to phone someone. In a panic I basically wailed for them not to, even though I would soon freak out and think I need an ambulance. Someone else came by and ended up giving me paper towels, which quickly looked like I had murdered a mouse with them. My nosebleed soon stopped but not before someone else checked on me. TLDR; fought a glass door and lost. I do not envy the janitorial staff. ...

TIFU by asking my boss why his cock got hard on my leg.

***not a fake post. I’m F 32, He was standing over one of my legs while I was sitting in front of him facing him (spinal adjustment) and he spread my knees with his leg, put his hand on my stomach and then there was a ton of sexual tension and I felt his cock grow into my leg and then start to fill with blood and then twitch on my leg. My boss has been leading me on for two years in subtle ways. Lots of waist pinching, close moments, and “were you good while I was away(s)?” Mostly breadcrumbing himself out to me while his wife (who I also work with) became increasingly hostile towards me. He is someone who has been a mentor to me for ten years. The two of them seem to be having marital problems on and off. The other month, while in close proximity, he started to get hard on my leg and moved when he noticed. A while later, I asked for an open conversation on the attraction between us and what to do about it. It has been distressing me and I had reached my limit. I figured since we’ve...

TIFU by going through my girlfriend’s old photos

My girlfriend and I have been together for 9 months or so and things have been up and down but I love her a lot and she loves me a lot. We’re both 20 and she’s had a lot more experience sexually than I have and this has always bothered me but besides that we have a pretty good relationship. We’ve talked about our pasts and she’s had some pretty bad experiences that caused her to kind of go off the rails up until we met. She’s all in on me and I’m all in on her and she’s expressed a lot of regret about her past choices and I’ve tried to be as understanding as possible but I’ve always had some insecurity regarding it. Well anyways last night I was on her laptop and saw her photos were linked to it and I stupidly clicked on it and started going through them. Don’t need anyone telling me that it was dumb and an invasion of privacy because I really realize that now and I will never be going through any of her stuff again. Anyways I ended up seeing a lot of shit. Clicked on a folder that...
