A few weeks back, there was some talk of injured shoulders and
pain. My left arm has never had near as good of control as my right
since my injury., and lately it has been getting awful pain and even
makes some noise as I try to work out and exercise my arms. I am
pretty sure it must be a torn roter cuff in my shoulder. Last night I
had severe pain in it while just trying to sleep.....I try to exercise
my arms about every other day...either just by moving them about or by
very small one pound hand weights. My question is .... Have any of
you had to give up arm exercise due to pain ? I think I will stop for
a while since this nagging pain in shoulder seems real bad now. Also
i'm not sure if a doctor can help this issue or not ?
Thanks for any input or suggestions............. Dan c-6
MerryChristmas everybody,
my prayers go out to you folks who are having serious medical issues. I
am only 4 years post but, 2 years ago, I made up my mind after coming to
know many 10, 20+ years post injury peers that I should try to do
something proactive for my shoulders. 1 choice was to not use a manual
chair ever, the other was to workout 3-5 times/week. I was beginning
to have problems like Dan so I went to a P T. I learned from him how to
use my shoulders correctly. Essentially, I lock my shoulder into place
before I use it. It is a simple action, but did take some training. If
you have some P T access, consider doing what I did. I no longer have
any clunky, noisy sounds and only occasional pain after a hard workout.
Best health and GOOD STUFF to all,
Brien
