Bumstead disclosed his experience playing basketball, where he couldn't walk for a week due to inflammation and pain. The hour-long game took a toll on his body, highlighting the challenges bodybuilders face in sports requiring agility and endurance. Cbum said, “I played with a bunch of guys here. We probably played for almost an hour. It was pretty long. And I could not walk for a week like it was just inflammation and pain.”
Probable cause of the joint pain
Bodybuilders' size and weight can strain joints and connective tissues. Activities like basketball, with repetitive jumping and sudden changes in direction, can increase stress on weight-bearing joints. Bumstead experienced discomfort and inflammation after a game.
Cbum's kidney disease
During his competition training, Bumstead experienced leg swelling, prompting him to get his kidneys checked. He was diagnosed with IGA Nephropathy, an autoimmune disease causing kidney inflammation. While medication helps, it requires monitoring due to immune system suppression.
