TR vs the future

@taniwharugby obviously not enough to drink bro, a few more jars and you would have snaked over that fence no sweat!
Nice skills to salvage the situation! Better than the meringue in your face and the eskie smacking your nuts!
-
@paekakboyz ha, well, last weekend (03/02) had a stag in Omaha, and drank far too much, so much so that I injured myself (the old, one tequila, two tequila, three tequila floor...) had to helped down the stairs to the bedroom, only to find myself waking on a concrete floor outside the bedroom (although I only found out how I hurt myself at the wedding on Saturday, I thought it was just from sleeping on a concrete floor)
This has hampered my exercise somewhat, although, oddly, I have lost 1.5kg since last weekend too, so go figure and now at my lightest in about 5 years!
-
still light on details about the actual cause of injury Mr TR!!
-
@paekakboyz tequila and floor...may have been some falling and unintentional splits involved (well as far as someone who has never been able to do the splits can do)
-
say no more my good man. If you managed all that and didn't get concussed I reckon you're winning!
-
easing back in and trying to up the workload in the past week, swimming and running.
Have a 10km fun run on Sunday, but TR Jnr is running with me, and currently I am still fitter and faster, so will be a nice pace for us to run together
-
got an appointment to have my rotator cuff looked at, isnt stopping me from doing much, but aches more and get a sharp pain if I move quickly in the wrong angle.
Hoping they might be able to do something without surgery, doingall the exercises I am supposed to, can still do pull ups (not too wide or chin ups) push ups etc
Been doing some short sharp workouts, today was:
1 min sprint (on treadmill, max speed) 1 min deadlifts (45kg) 1 min shoulder circles, 1 min mountain climbers, 1 min star (flat on stomach, head, arms and legs all held off the ground) 1 min burpees and do that 3 times. -
haha missed my 1st appointment as I had entered wrong date in my calendar, muppet!!
Anywhoo, went along and saw Physio last week, interestingly before going I didn't think I had hardly any restriction of movement or loss of strength, but when Physio did his thing, I did have decent amount of strength loss on certain movements and while I didn't feel like I had movement issues, was only because my body was making adjustments and I wasn't noticing how uneven movements were.
Good thing is he reckons it can be sorted without surgery, already noticed slight improvement in mobility (with putting arm behind back which is very restrictive)
Glad I decided to get it looked at.
-
I can see/feel the improvement in my movement after 3 visits, although some days the ache is more than other days, and then just as I am about to doze off I wake with a start and I move my shoulder suddenly...that aint fun.
This time of year does suck, cooler, darker earlier, so not feeling the urge to go running at night (and having some coursework to complete doesn't help either)
Have to be a bit careful at rugby trainings, some of these 60kg boys run hard when I am playing defence, and as I am not going hard out, is when I am likely to hurt myself (or them I guess) but I do go hard in the runs and stuff telling them they shouldn't be letting me beat them haha
-
well my shoulder took a turn for the worse over the weekend, was doing some back stretches and have levered up with my right shoulder (as I have done all the time) but something didn't feel that good and was more pain.
Last night was something else though, woke at about 1am in excruciating pain, spent 30 mins contemplating driving myself to hospital to get some good drugs...fortunately the ibruprofen I had kicked in and I watched Netflix for a bit until I fell asleep again.
Got an appointment this morning for an MRI & X-ray...
-
ugh, that is no good bro. Hopefully the scan shows something and they can sort it via physio or an op (ACC funded! or private if you've got insurance).
Was the pain in the same place when you woke overnight? My gym bro had a similar experience a couple of weeks ago where his shoulder woke him up too. Personally I think you guys probably rub too many out, but I'm sure there could also be a genuine training injury too
Good luck getting it sorted!
-
basically whole shoulder was in pain...previously I was able to lift shoulder over head, stretch back, now can barely lift above my hip without pain.
Physio said possibly some calcification there, which may have been the initial issue, but says best to get MRI/X-ray to confirm.
It is ACC but I have private insurance as well.
Haha, it is my right hand too...
-
so possible very minor tear but seems some calcification is the issue, possibly whatever I did on the weekend has managed to get the calcification outside the joint or something, so now when I move it, nothing moves smoothly and causes pain.
Apparently a number of ways to deal with it...
-
@taniwharugby
Im a physio if you want any second opinions. Shoulders are a complex beast. Calcification sounds like a bit of a BS diagnosis. This doesn't come out of nowhere. Calcification is a response to prolonged stress.
Xray isn't going to show much. I would be more after Ultrasound and MRI given you have (judging by your posts) had a couple of DFO (drunk and fallen overs).Happy to give a second opinion im pretty awesome at shoulder rehab.
-
Good stuff @Magpie_in_aus!! Ha ha the power of the fern! 🖒🖒
-
@magpie_in_aus yeah they did an MRI as well. Said that a small tear may have been an old injury (only shoulder issue was early 2000's prior to this, I'm 43)
That was what the lady that did the MRI said, but Dr said there is a small tear and didn't mention the Calcification.
Up until the weekend, I had been feeling much better with it and the stretches I was doing were getting good flexibility back.
My drunken activities are far and few between (as I get older and make much, much better decisions...) and would probably need to be pretty delayed to be linked??
Now, basically if I have my hands out in front like handshake position, and push horizontally outwards it hurts, and reckon about 30deg is the extent of being able to lift my arm, although if I use my left I can lift it up and once I get my elbow to shoulder height, the pain reduces considerably.
I have an appointment with my Physio on Friday

Shoulder update:
So 90% of time, shoulder is good, every now and then I wake in the night with some pain, but is getting less and less. I actually have more movement than I did a fortnight ago.
Still some pain if I move suddenly (like you drop something and reach out to grab it
)This time last week I couldn't raise my arm above maybe 30 deg, now I have full range (more than I had 3 weeks ago) but is a bit tender through the middle of the movement)
Have a referral in to see a specialist, through ACC so just waiting now...luckily pain has subsided (have some good drugs in case it returns) as the pain I had last week was like nothing I have ever experienced before!
-
just had a cortisone injection (assisted with Ultrasound for accuracy)
We shall see how that goes.
