Hi everyone,
I've been getting a dry kind of feeling in my knees, especially when attempting low squats - even just body-weight. It leads to a sharp pain that just doesn't feel right. It's not in just one either, it's both knees and it's really depressing me that when I start to get into a good training rhythm my body starts holding me back. Has anyone experienced anything like this before? Any idea on what could be the culprit and/or how to train with/around it?
Also, I had some shoulder issues a few months ago - slight inflammation and bursitis or thickening of the synovial fluid I believe was the result of the ultrasound. Something like that anyway. I also had a muscle imbalance from weak rear delts so spent a lot of time strengthening RC's and rear delts with facepulls etc. Everything was all good, I was still avoiding overhead presses because they seemed to aggravate my shoulder but now I'm getting a terrible pain that's hard to pinpoint, but it's sharp and fairly constant and seems to be around my collarbone and in my shoulder, striking off all pushing movements from my training regime.
I stopped doing anything for almost two weeks hoping I would start to heal but nothing is changing. I managed a few chin ups yesterday just to test it out and still feeling it in my shoulder. . .
I love my training but I'm finding it hard to do anything with all the aches and pains and don't want to suffer worse injuries in the near future because I didn't let them rest or listen to my body. How do you all stay motivated during this time and maintain your physique?
Sometimes I think as much as I love to lift and train and improve myself, it's just easier to be a fat ass haha.
