Dan,
I always see ppl in PT get yelled at for not going to the doctor for
shoulder pain. They only made it worse.
Sorry,

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
