Well, after finally
figuring out how to alleviate most of my shoulder pain, I hurt something else.
I was doing shoulder shrugs with heavy weight last night - and I lost grip with my left hand after about 8 reps. Today, the crook of my elbow hurts. Straightening my arm is uncomfortable.
What did I do and what can I do to help this injury heal?
Thanks in advance....
My friend, I say this with all the love in the world, but perhaps you should reassess your approach to training for just a little while.
In a recent post you talk about how you hit your upper body hard 3 times a week and are ON, despite what you describe as a need for surgery.
In a subsequent thread you speak of your need for bilateral shoulder surgery, and then the surprising relief you feel when you try a posterior capsule stretch, which would be the first stretch they have you do in physical therapy session 1.
In this thread you describe a what appears to be a repetitive overuse injury to the medial elbow consequent from a day of doing heavy shrugs and heavy rows.
I think it may be wise to get healthy first. Take a week off, two weeks off, do very light bodyweight movements, stretch, hot tub, ice, etc. If you are on AAS, PCT it and start up later when you are 100%. Your body is speaking to you very clearly, but are you listening?
Again, I mean no disrespect at all, in fact I mean the furthest thing from it. I want to see you kicking ass and going all out, but not at the expense of your health and well being.
Just something to contemplate. I sincerely wish you the best in health.
