Have you heard of any of those?
Regardless of your feelings or experience level, FOOSH injuries are a very common mechanism of injury that results in numerous types of upper extremity injuries.
I'm positive I had one of these a couple of years back.
I was watching games at my brother-in-law's house. He'd built a new deck and had a TV outside on a nice evening. I made the brilliant decision to walk off of the porch steps onto the deck in socks and slipped. I broke the fall with my left hand. It hurt for a couple of days, then either stopped or I got used to it.
Now, I lift weights about 5x a week. This means I grip a loaded bar with regularity. I was worried that I'd have to back off for awhile. Surprisingly, I was able to lift as normal at near max weights with no pain whatsoever.
Problem was, when I would attempt a movement that required me to apply pressure to a flat hand it hurt. Bad. I couldn't plank or do pushups without sharp pain. Otherwise, my grip was great. The pain went away altogether in 6 months or so. No doctor, no significant disruption to anything, really.
