Don't want to sound like a know-it-all in my very first post but you might want to get checked for rhabdomyolysis, buddy.

hey it seems you may be correct. Doctor mentioned that i suffered from a form of muscle breakdown- he knew i was into heavy exercise. The results from my blood test showed i was in the correct range for most readings accept for the urea reading (which also relates to vigourous exercise) and some CK reading which was 3 times what it should have been. I have recently started to consume much more water before i go out now which seems to have helped the case but it something that i am gonna have to watch now- it sucks cause i feel as though i can no longer go as hard as i used to because of fear i may be doing damage to myself.

For ****s sake, dimwit. Why are people soooooo ******? I'm also on a bodybuilding website and people are always asking ****** questions like this. What the hell does a BOXING site have to do with modern medicine?

Would you take the advice of somebody on here you don't even know= what are their credientals to give medical advice? Even if they are a doc or something, can they really diganose you over a computer without tests?

I was a paramedic for 14 years ending this sept. If you have a problem, get EXPERT medical advice not from a ****** board where any joe blow can and will mislead you even if unintentional.

There is an old saying in law that anybody who represents theirself has a fool for a client. Well, medicine is the same. Anybody who diagnoses theirself has a quack for a doctor.

Pissing blood fits the classification of................unnatural. Get checked. DUH!!!

Anyhow i have been on this site for a year and half now and you are the first person that i have had any trouble with! It's a great site, helpful people. Just wanted to know wheather anybody knew what it was or was familiar with it while i was awaiting my results. Was more after peace of mind than anything casue i felt pretty stressed about it. No need to call anyone dimwits!

Like I said, I'm no expert but it's something that we deal with a lot in my line of work. Sounds like you went to the Doctor and he's giving you the answers you need, I hope it works out. In any case, training is always a balance between going hard enough and not doing damage to ourselves. Doesn't sound like you lack for motivation, anyway.

I'll give you that and retract the name. It's just I see so much people asking medical advice from people with no knowledge when they should consult a physician. I can imagine how many people have been screwed up from bad advice from this. I just want everybody to start thinking and being more careful.

Yeah at least we have been able to identiify it and know how to relieve it. I think training and exercise is becoming a dangerous and addictive drug to me. Thanks for your reply anyhow

You need to see a medical doctor, my friend, not seek medical opinions on a boxing board.....
