      Not exactly injuries, but a few pathologies which might affect you are muscle weakening, weak immune system, bad psychology due to isolation and a high workload plus a few more. In earlier days a syndrome has been described in space by Russian scientists, called “asthenia”. Eyesight problems may arise too.

    also for the first1-3 days you will feel a bit sick if you were to go to the space station. after that your body should adjust to space and lots of the effects .also you can stop bone deformation by going to the space gym piece on the space station.after that your bones should stay nice and healthy 😀
