Sore throat??

Trickster · 03-24-2008, 02:24 PM

We were doing gi chokes in class over a week ago...and my throat is still tender from it! I dont remember the exact names of the chokes but they were very very tight gi chokes...the kind that you tap immediately!! Anyway today we were doing chokes again and as SOON as the choke was being put on it hurt like hell. Not the typical pain you get when choked...when you feel constricted and cant breath but an actual pain in, around and behind my adams apple....

Has this ever happened to anyone? Is it normal? Does it go away?

I have a tourney comin up and if someone even puts a weak choke on me Im going to be forced to tap...so I need to do something about this ASAP! Any help you can give me appreciated!

Who put the choke on you ?? was it correctly done you gotta watch your adams apple man you can crush that with not knowing and seriously it can be fatal .

you see alot of it at bars when an idiot bouncer trys to put a choke on someone and it crushes the trackia (spelling?) be careful and if it still hurts i would get it checked out cuz from doing chokes like that you might get a little tender ont he sides or your throat but not around your adams apple.

It's happened to me twice in 1.5 years. it stays for like a week then goes away.

pretty normal, it will go away.

It happened to me a couple weeks ago when we were practicing ezekiels. It went away after 3 or 4 days.

Yeah, it will hurt for a few days then go away. The longer you train the more you will somewhat get used to it.

Trachea.

That's only happened to me once when I was rolling with a guest instructor at an Academy and the guy was a black belt and national champ in Brazil. The dude cross collar choked me so hard it felt like he was going to cut my head off.

My throat was sore for about 1-2 days (like it "hurt" a little to swallow food) but otherwise everything was good. You'll be fine though, don't sweat it.

Has happened to me plenty of times. No worries.

Probably just some bruising. Your throat has nerves, cartilage, and muscle too, you know, and they don't like getting crushed and jerked around any more than the ones in your arms or legs.
