Title: Could Be Worse, I Guess....... Is There A Doctor In The House?
Post by: mcgroundstalker on October 26, 2013, 01:05:00 PM
A couple of days ago I developed pain in my left shoulder... Thought it might have been the way I slept, or maybe moved something the wrong way...   :dunno:   ... Got to the point I couldn't lift my arm past 90 degrees...   :(   ... Anyway, today I tried to draw back a "light" bow and my brain said: "No Way Brother!" in the most painful manner...   :eek:   ...

I'll be off to the doctor asap not wanting to make this worse... First it's artie-rightis in both hands then this... Could be worse, I guess...

Good luck Michael, ain't getting old fun!   :biglaugh:   I've had both of my shoulders cleaned out.  You probably just tweaked it and need to give it some rest.  Let us know what the doc says.    Tim

Hang in there Mike! I know what you are talking about as my knees are giving me fits! After coming back from my Colorado elk hunt and losing 15 pounds... my knees have been hurting almost constantly.

I put in a bunch of miles in the high country and had minimal problems... now going down stairs is killing me.

Good luck and God bless.

I hope it gets better for you, Rest does wonders for a hurt shoulder but if the tendons are torn that is one tough surgery and recovery. I know as I tore two tendons around my rotator cuff Labor Day and have at least six months recovery ahead of me since my surgery last month. By all means get to your doctor and get it checked.

Mike...
Ice it 3x day....need to get the inflammation out asap so the healing process can start...If you don't know exactly when it started it may actually  be a good thing...(not a severe event)
I have been through it all from mma ,my strong man ministries and 20 plus years as a pro bodybuilder....
If they send you for physical therapy that's ok...
but my suggestion is to find a great massage therapist..NOT a massuese..there is a difference... they can get in there a flush the inflammation out and keep scar tissue and adhesions from sticking...

I'm not a doc but I am an MRI tech who deals with shoulders everyday. Before you do anything else see your family doc or an ortho and get an mri done. To many things can go wrong with a shoulder to try and treat it yourself. Best of luck to you.

Just got back from an examination from my orthopedic surgeon... Thank You Lord! All looks OK... Most of the pain is gone and  motion back 95% ... Gonna take it easy for a bit and keep up with archery warm-ups like I should at 57 years old.

Boy, was I scared...       :scared:       ... Now, real happy!       :jumper:

Whew!!!  I just saw this Mike, I've been there, years of Power Lifting and football left me with more than enough shoulder surgeries.  They're no fun.  Glad to hear that its nothing.

That is good to hear. I wouldn't want to see anyone have to go thru shoulder surgery. It is one tough surgery.

Bummer My Friend! I have some Arthur Itis Meself, and it STINKS!! I used to think My Dear old Granny, God rest Her Soul, was Nuts when she would rub her hands and knees then tell me it was going to rain.
    Uh huh, You turn into the "Human Barometer" as it goes. The guys I used to work with were always asking me about the weather before they made plans, because I was more accurate than the local Weather Mens!!
    I hope you can find a Decent Doctor that can help You Manage Your Aches and Pains My Friend!! God Bless You!!

Someone told me, "If you can't remember how you got hurt, it would not be a major injury." Or something to that effect... So True! Although  now I remember what I did... Twisted my arm cleaning the inside windshield of my wifes car!     :jumper:

Get used  to  warming  up  before  you  do  anything, that is what taichi is for, or yoga, or  just  some  good  resisting  stretching.
Glad your feeling better.
