Unfortunately, Had to take a night off. Tightness, and pain has come back into my back and shoulder. Must have tweaked it without it being 100%. Hoping its better tomorrow
 
I truly hate missing the gym. Specially on my last pin. But, I know I did this to myself and I have to get better, or else I lose all that I gained in the first place
 
Gonna miss this whole weekend. Could barely move my shoulder today without pain. If its not feeling better by Monday. Its off to the doctor. Good thing I work in the same hospital as my PCP. LOL

Sorry to hear that Brother! Which side of your body is the pain located?

DemntedCowboy, How your Shoulder and Back feel today?

Still in pain, still waking up in the middle of the night over and over every time I move. Seems when I wake up, and get out of bed. I feel it but it isnt bad. Once I get out the shower feels a little better, but once I get dressed and move about the day it just starts to hurt more and more. I have just been taking it easy the last few days. I will probably go see the doc on Monday, and will do some legs on Monday, or some cardio. Just so I can feel like I'm not turning into a fat slob. I really hate missing this much time in the gym.
 
Can you pinpoint the pain exactly?

There are some self diagnostic videos on youtube by physiotherapists, look em up.
Once you know what -and where it is, maybe I have an approach that worked for me in the past.

Its in the upper back/shoulder near the shoulder blade and extends out to the neck and through the whole shoulder. When the pain is at its worse. My shoulder and neck feel so bad its like my arm is in a sling and it hurts if I move it out of that position

Ready? Here the solution:
-First find the exact spot, while your wife applies pressure.
-tell her to keep the spoon firm pressed onto the muscle, once you found the spot
-you now move slowly, she does not move.
-perceived pain should be 8 out of 10

Thank you and the video aid is awesome also. I will give this a shot in a little bit

Only works on strained muscles, not nerves -or tendons, besides bursitis
-spoon (or any rounded object) has to be pressed hard
-it hurts
-10-20 min after the trigger-point technique you should feel better
-repeat twice a day, normally, after 3 sessions and a night sleep its gone
 
Just dropping in, gonna go through the posts in a bit. Sorry to hear of your injury by the way! How're you holding up?

Feeling better. Will do some legs today. Just to make sure everything is good. Movement is coming back and pain is down slightly. hairygrandpa technique works pretty well. Not 100% yet but have to get back in the gym and do something.
 
Looks like 1 more off day by default. Gotta carve pumpkins for Halloween. I think they set me up cause they knew I was planning on going back today

Still got a pulling feeling but the stiffness isnt as bad. Was gonna go try it out tonight, but with traffic, haircut, and having to go pick up dinner for the family cause wife and daughter where at my daughters bowling league. I didnt make it in today. Hoping to get in an early session tomorrow, and get some back in

We are old fuggers, please do auxiliary exercises like:
DB cuban rotations twice a week, go light, like 2x6-8lbs -and don't forget underhand rows to bring shoulders in a natural position.
