Muscle weakness: If you bend over or use poor body mechanics and your muscles are weak you can overstretch the muscle fibers which can then cause spasm.

Last month, my right pinky was jerked to the right side during sports. The bottom knuckle (on my hand, not the finger) still hurts to touch, and during tasks like bathing. There is some swelling, and I'm starting to worry that it still hurts.

Mild discomfort in back scrotum after lifting heavy weights from the ground, currently feel discomfort only when bending over and picking up heavy objects. Could it be a sports hernia? I've had these symptoms for the past 4 days.

I hurt my finger during sport. My ring index finger popped out of its spot at the halfway knuckle area. I pulled it back into place. X-ray shows chip fracture. Visited a surgeon , he advised it will heal within 4 weeks. It's been nearly 10 weeks.Help?
