Shoulder Pain

Try the add for rotator cuff pain that's now at the bottom of this page.


Maybe you have bad form when working overhead.
 
Go to a specialist and take his/her advice. X-Ray. MRI, whatever. I was in killer shape back in 2003, started to get shoulder pain, continued lifting for weeks and weeks through it, trying to be tough and fight through the pain, and it got infinitely worse. It ended up being shoulder impingement and I went to rehab three days a week for a month or so til it got a bit better. That's not to say it ever went away. It comes back every now and then and that's a reminder for me to do my in-home rehab exercises. And I try to remember to be as perfect as possible with my form while I lift and to think about whether or not that lift will cause pain. For example, upright rows were the catlyst for the pain to begin with I think and the PT said I shouldn't be doing them and that they're one of the worst exercises one can do. I have no idea how much truth there is to that but I know I'm not going to do them again. Anyway, hope that helped.
 
There's this little thing I have called work. It prohibits me from posting during the bulk of the day.

Mine is so slow right now I have time here and there.
I actually hate it, I want it to speed up and get busy.
If I stop posting here during the day, know I am happy.
