No wind in Leankid's sails this morning!

I've gottn back in the groove after some pretty tough times in my life, and starting to see some really good gains in the gym. I've really been motivated more than ever, and really enjoying training.

A recurring injury (rotator cuff) has reared it's ugly head again. After talking to a few buddies with the same injury, I'm a little discouraged.

It seems like they all had to have surgery, and I don't want that! It's severe enough that I'm fairly certain it's a tear somewhere. I guess it'll be a good opportunity to work on my legs, but I'm just not as motivated when I think about no chest day, or shoulder day for a few months!

explore all your options, sometimes dr.s are too ready to do surgery...talk to a Physical therapist or chiropractor, they can often work wonders.

yeah man, i'm in the same boat, the only chest i can do now is incline dumbell. after i messed my shoulder i got so discouraged i fell from 185lbs to 165 (at 5'8") but over time it just started to feel better and i'm getting it back

[leankid]

Incline dumbells is my staple chest workout. I noticed some intense pain the other day just putting my arms back far enough to squat. That's when I realized something wasn't right, but kept lifting the next few days, and now they are clicking, popping, and grinding!

When I read that title, I though you were having trouble getting it up!

[leankid]

Hehe nope that's not the trouble. The trouble is, once it gets up it hurts my shoulder to play with it!

thats sucks, i have been putting off surgery for 3 years for my wrist. i broke a small bone in my wrist and the doc said it should be about 6 months out of the gym. i gonna have to get it done before my wrists collapses but 6 MONTHS, thats gonna suck ass. for now i just wrap it and bare the pain!

p.s. i know i'm being a dumb ass about it, but 6 MONTHS.

[Luftdude]

Yea, I feel your pain. It's like taking out your morning routine

Hey bro the docs told me the same shit. However I'm in chiropractic school and the guys that deal with chiropractic rehabilitation (which has nothing to do with chiropratic, just rehabilitation) but anyway they worked me up and down for 5 weeks and after a little rest and post rehab exercises I am 100% better and way stronger than I was before I started. They hook you up with all these posture and proprioceptive exercises too and now my body is developing much better than before. If your interested you have to find a chiropractor with a diplomat degree in chiropractic rehabilitation. D.A.C.R.B. Its well worth it to save yourself from getting cut on. Good luck brotha

[leankid]

Cool, I think I'm gonna do that, Sugar said the same, Damn, the right one hurts today!

[SUGARBABY]

Listen, what I say is GOLDEN, you don't need a second opinion, Mr. Leankid! :p

[leankid]

I know honey buns, I was just hoping you'd offer a little session of "doctor"
