I've been on the rehab for my shoulder. Getting good range of movement, still heaps of pain, but it's moving in the right direction. I'm looking forward to it being sorted so I can get back to normal. not handstands, but might push some iron. Will be good to get strong again.
It is much better than thumb twiddling, although I'm doing a bit of that pre-handstands.
What's up with the shoulder? I've had a niggle for years which i think is the rotator cuff. It is fine with most movement and weight, but if i turn it the wrong way it has no power at all - surgery looks like the only option for a full repair :/
My doctor thought rotator-cuff but it's more complicated than that. Bursitis, or frozen shoulder they reckon. I've dealt with it since October 2019 and get a massive pain in my upper shoulder/outer bicep area when the shoulder rotates forward i.e. when my arm goes backward or up. Hand goes numb etc. The pain is severe and renders the arm useless for 10-30 seconds depending on the severity of the pain, which depends on the extent of the movement.
It sounds like you have similar.
I have had a cortisone injection into the top of my shoulder (ultrasound-guided) and that was supposed to drop the pain level so I could do the rehab but it hasn't really. Not keen for another one though, or an operation.
The range of movement is coming back slowly, through my exercise plan which I do daily, and I hope by the end of the year it will be fixed. The pain is the last thing that will go.
Good luck with yours, it's a shot thing to deal with.
Hmmm, I think yours sounds worse than mine as I don't get the numbness and the pain is only severe if i force a particular movement.
I'm not keen on an operation either and hoping (although it's been 3 years) it will recover on it's own. Stick with the exercises, hopefully you'll be sorted soon enough.
You been busy this week?
Always busy, working, working out, and still at it with the Handstands and Spanish - slow progress but there is progress.
Busy boy. Better than thumb-twiddling.
