Hello guys/gals/jen
Had a ongoing issue with my left shoulder and some discs or IDK what in my back 7 months back( i had on and off issues, have for 8/10yrs now, neck/lower back/shoulders)
I went to a othro, othro surgeon, reg doc, ER one day, chiro + another who did acupuncture, cant even tell you how much cash i spent in 4.5 months.
Everyone had their own opinion, x rays and other tests showed inflammation and just minor shit. But i couldn't lift a gallon of milk with my right hand because the imbalance it would put to the left.
Then was sent off to PT as always, prolly do once a year for neck/back/shoulder.........4 visits in, things drastically diminished( ive been to PT for those issues 2012.5/2014/2016/2017)
But i typically injure myself in some way, this time i woke up out of bed like this....Thats what dumbfounded me so much with this whole thing
Ive been back lifting 5wks. I stopped nacro's i was getting 7.5wks ago as my pain ceased.....Not too sure why. But i can finally do 10 pushups, before my left side would give out after 5-8 reps.
Still use a 7.5 or 10lb for my left tri as that is still the weakest link, i lift or exercise 6 days a wk.........Just as carefully as i can. Im not too old, 33, but i fear for years ahead with these issues.
When i am 45+, 55+ i can only imagine what ill have by than. I played hockey for 11 yrs, but not a big guy....6ft/210/215. Just have have rotaotor issues and some lower back when i was 18-23 and now they linger and pop back up here and there.
But threw the thick of this, i dont think ive ever had pain this bad. 6 - 5mg/325mg tylenol narco a day, plus a 5 - 10 or 15mg anti-inflammatory. I went to Italy and was on a flight for 8hr back and forth. It was pure hell
But long story short, when should i begin pushing the envelope ? or begin to start tapering up...?? I am just so fearful or re-injury, i like a fa king china doll right now and sick of it
