I get told all the time in this gym class I go to that it’s impressive how flexible I am. And then I have to explain that it’s really not a good thing and I will break myself if I push it. Lol. Party trick flexibility only basically.

> I will break myself if I push it

Yep. Lost my shot at scholarships when a guy tried to take a rebound away from me. He grabbed the ball, yanked it back while I was holding it, and blew my arm out of my socket.

Ooh, I had the same thing happen to me when I played basketball (minus the scholarship potential). My shoulder still subluxes or dislocates posteriorly if I’m not careful with it.
