Could Be Worse, I Guess....... Is There A Doctor In The House?

[mcgroundstalker]

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...     ... 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!     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

reminds me of Cosby.  "You know you're getting older when you pull a muscle walking through a sporting goods store."

There are many ways to hurt yourself, but, I hope the Doctor fixes you with a quickness!

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.

I wish you the best little buddy, keep us posted!!

[Mudd]

I'll be praying for a good outcome!

God bless,Mudd

That's two guys I know with some type of shoulder issues. I hope you have a quick recovery from this. My prayers are with you Mike.

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...

[mcgroundstalker]

Thanks everyone...

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.

[mcgroundstalker]

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...             ... Now, real happy!
