I had a battle in the ring in the Golden Gloves and ever since when I go on the heavy bag heavy I have a weird pain in my head that night and sometimes the day after and then it goes away. I am thinking it could be a pinched nerve or something but anyone ever experience this?

I had a gym fight about a month back got dropped with a hook i didnt see coming and i had a pain in my head, actually it still hurts a little now, you ever been dropped with a punch you didnt see coming is it dude?

Yeah i dropped but it was a left hook that caught me off balance. It did not buckle my knees or anything. Was not on my chin or anything. So, I think it was from the cumulative trauma of the fight. I went on to win the next round so I was not "hurt" per se. But man my head feels weird right now, like if I shake my head its feels like a I have a headache in a certain spot. It happens after I blast the heavy bag for several rounds.

Got punched in the side of the head near back of my ear... continued sparring for 2 more rounds not much of an effect though it was kinda stinging.

It had a lasting effect for a day and a half or a massive headache where I just wanted to sleep, few days after it still had it a little bit if I shook me head side to side but now its gone.

Gotcha...this is more long term but thanks for feedback.

More than likely its a tense neck or upper back muscle, I've had this after hitting the heavy bag before. The pain can be felt around the head but its rarely something internal (like the brain).

The various muscles of the body act as shock absorbers when you pound the bag, the muscles of the upper back take some stick when you pound the bag and the tightness increases in your neck muscles which in turn pulls the muscles around the head. I'll bet you feel it more around the temples or low down on the forehead?

A good cool down, massage and lastly good rehydration reduce what you seem to be describing.

lol at this post. Getting beat down is really bad for you. Also, blasting a heavybag will always hurt if you're not well nourished. It used to rattle my brain until I got my diet right.

I am thinking this may be the issue. I think I may have a pinched nerve that I keep aggravating.

Nah Sultan is retired now actually. He could not get past Vlads jab man. Was a real tuff showing. Done feel for him, he is a healthy millionaire.

It's your diet guaranteed. Cutting down to an unnatural weight is going to cause a number of problems.

if it hurst when you shake your head it might be a sinus or inner ear thing. You might want to get it checked out. You might have torn some inner wall tissue in there.

really??? how much is he worth and how much was he making for his big fights roughly???

just go to a physio and explain the symptoms...duh

i've had something similar, when i was out of shape and i immediately started intensely training with that dude from gpo, he was really pushing me from the get go. i had bad pain the back of my head, esp in the middle of an exercise (like during a pushup), and it would take a long time to subside, even after the training. it would linger for days too. i was told it was because i was very out of shape and was being pushed too hard right away. i'm not sure what shape you're in at the moment, but that was what the problem was with me. it also may have had something to do with the fact that i was holding my breath a bit much.

Thanks rob! I actually went to the chiro for a couple sessions and its gone...It was muscular radiating up my neck into my BRAIN!
