Broken Blood Vessels On Shoulders After Working Out Novels & Stories

Three cracked ribs. Dara tells me this like she's reading from a list, which she is — her healer's notes, ink still wet, the specific shorthand she uses that I've learned to read upside down over two years of sitting in this chair. One dislocated shoulder — relocated now, which happened approximately thirty seconds ago and which I don't want to think about. A cut above my right eye, two inches, will need closing. Bruising across my left side that will be spectacular by morning.

“No! I told you to leave me alone so just leave it at that! I'd like to be alone with her!“ Jared yelled at him. Matt took a step backwards, “Then I have no choice but to call madam. She wouldn't be happy seeing you in this state.“ Jared's eyes widened, “Are you threatening me right now?“ Matt shook his head, “I'll take that as a yes. I will go get the doctor.“ Matt walked out to get the doctor. Jared sighed in frustration. The doctor came back with the same nurse a few minutes later. They treated Jared's hands and gave him some shots. “You have to be careful with your shoulders. You can't work out or do anything stressful. It would be hard for you to heal if you get wounded again. It got in

I have to tear my eyes from her, or I can get lost in them. “Damn that game was rough.” I groan. “Fuck, yeah, it was.” Keegan mumbles. I roll my shoulders as I step under the water in the shower. I am sure my shoulder is bruised to shit. We had to fight the other team for this win practically. I was slammed into the boards more than once. Ironically I kept hitting with the same shoulder. At one point, I heard a pop and thought I broke it. At one point, I listened to my precious jewel scream about beating someone's ass. I hear her yelling as we walk back to where everyone awaits us.

The cotton parts cleanly… and then my breath stops. Something on his shoulder has split open. A deep, gaping wound, the skin torn wide as if the injury has been forced apart. Thick, dark blood pours down his arm in slow, heavy streams, dripping steadily off his elbow. The edges look swollen and raw, like they were trying to heal before ripping open again. “Oh my God.” I freeze, every muscle locking as shock slams into me. I take a step back, heart hammering. “Holy shit… this… this isn’t a normal cut.” The words slip out in a whisper.

The shift in his expression is small and immediate, something in the eyes, a fraction of softening that he doesn't perform, it just happens. He closes the tablet without comment and leans back, making space. She pulls on her gloves and opens the gel, and begins with the right shoulder, the one she knows best, the one that has been the subject of more clinical attention than any other joint she's worked on this year. It's tighter than it should be, the muscle hardened in a way that tells her exactly how much he'd used it in the third period. "Lactic acid buildup," she says quietly, working her thumb along the trap muscles. "It's significant. We left it too long after the game."

It’s followed by a sharp sting that shoots through the joint, but it fades before I even finish the run. I shake out my arm once, grip the ball tighter, and score the first touchdown. Yet, I take another hit when a defender drives straight into my chest, forcing my shoulder backward. An electric jolt of pain shoots down my arm, followed by a strange tingling in my fingers. Taking in deep breaths, I flex them once, then twice. I exhale shakily when they respond. “Good enough,” I whisper to myself, then jog back to the line as if nothing happened.

The doctor started explaining, after he sat down on his seat. Few months have passed. Jace has been having discomfort on his shoulder that was shot. Most especially when he is exercising in the gym or lifting weights. Eliana convinced him to go to the doctor so that they can check if something is the matter with the shoulder. Now from the look of things, he might have a problem there.

*River* Pain lances through my arm, a sharp reminder of just how close I came to losing everything. I grit my teeth, forcing myself to focus on Dust, her face a swirl of worry and determination, but the throbbing in my shoulder draws my attention away. The blood seeps through my shirt, a crimson blossom that stains the fabric and sends a chill racing down my spine. This isn’t just a cut..: it’s something worse, but I can't let her know.

Diego slowly lowered his hand, blood seeping through his fingers as he clutched his shoulder. When he caught the indifferent look in her eyes, a storm of malicious rage rose from deep inside him. His complexion turned ghastly pale. The black suit he wore did well to mask the growing patch of blood at his shoulder, but the crimson liquid soon crept down his arm—dripping from his long, slender fingers and tracing the contours of his hand before falling to the yacht’s deck in slow, winding drops.

My shoulder begs for my attention, so finally, I go to the downstairs bathroom, shed my shirt, and look at myself in the mirror. The white tank top underneath my button-down drips red. Seb’s blood, mine, Ben’s, Andrea’s, more Russians than I can count. My shoulder oozes a fine crust of the stuff over a deep flesh wound. The bullet didn’t stick in my arm, but it looks like somebody bored a gouge from my flesh with a fat, permanent marker.
