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.
