Woman’s muscles ‘explode’ during Crossfit pullup challenge
A South Carolina woman had to be hospitalized after her arms “exploded” while she was doing pull-ups for a high-intensity Crossfit routine.
“Everyone said ‘we just thought you were super jacked or something,'” recounted the distraught exercise enthusiast, who noticed that her pee had turned a “weird” hue as well. Doctors reportedly cut open the patient’s arms to relieve the swelling — a measure she thought was excessive at the time.Johnson said the incident taught her the importance of taking care of her body as she ages and not going too hard at the gym.However, the physicians were concerned about long-term kidney damage, which is a common complication of rhabdo that can force people to go on dialysis.“They were so surprised,” she said.
“This was a wake-up call for me to chill out a bit,” said the Southerner, who plans to limit her exercise to running, walking, and “more gentle pilates stuff.”
