Rash decisions rarely produce good results, and Mayiduo would likely agree.

The 34-year-old local content creator revealed in an Instagram post yesterday (April 23) that he was recently hospitalised after doing a pull-up.

Recounting what had happened, Mayiduo, whose real name is Kelvin Tan, said he had taken his six-year-old son Zi En to a playground when a fitness corner caught his eye. 

It sparked a thought: "Can I still do a pull-up with my current weight?"

When the boy said he had no idea what a pull-up was, his dad gave him a demonstration.

"I did a pull-up and let go. When I landed, my feet felt weird," Mayiduo recalled.

While he was alright that day, he "couldn't walk at all" by the third day. "It hurt so much that I couldn't sleep at night," he said.

Thinking he suffered a fracture, Mayiduo went to the hospital: "When I arrived at the hospital, I was thinking, 'Could it be gout? Because I have gout but it's different. Gout usually doesn't hurt that much."

After X-ray and MRI scan, doctors found no fractures or new ligament tears.
