OT: OT Thread Part 7: Where the Only Off Off Topic is Politics (Well Not Literally!)

Mine is a mess right now. IS yours getting better at all? My pains from my neck right into my arm ffs

 

Is that a result of playing hockey or older age?

 

Yeah mine is much much better now. It was really bad for the first three months or so and could still feel pain for over a year after it happened

going for massages and PT helped a lot

 

I going for 2 a week. I can rotate my shoulder in a circle. The noise and clicking it does is sick

 

They both go hand and hand. I played lots of baseball growing up. Every time u throw, u are doing damage to shoulder. I think it just finally says "Ive had enough".

 

Don't want to scare you guys, but it gets a lot nastier as you get older and arthritis sets in.

 

Probably just scar tissue. My wife leaves the room when I'm doing my shoulder stretching as the grinding sound drives her crazy.

 

Fluid in the joint.

 

She also leaves the room when that occurs.

 

I had that pretty badly for the stupidest of reasons.

I used to bench-press like a mad-man, but neglected my back (specifically "Teres Major").
So my muscle started pulling my entire shoulder forward.

I'd get that "click" sound everytime I raised my arms.


I had to do a simple physio exercise. Just holding a heavy weight, with a straight lazy arm, and spinning it back and forth, letting the weight stretch the stabilizer muscles.

Now at 42, and years of doing pullups nearly daily, the nagging numbing pain is gone. I only hear the clicking when I do certain obscure exercises.

 

is it getting better? Im hoping their is a finish line to this

 

Im 52 next week. I havent touched a weight in a year. I tried to do some push ups last week but that was a mistake. I find the only comfort I get is sleeping on it

 

I live in NS and they have this treatment here called cupping. They put little cups on your back and draw a vacuum and close it off for 15 minutes. They say it brings the inflammation to the surface. You will notice you will have lots of circle bruises on you. I looked like Raggedy Ann the 1st time I did it

 

Unfortunately, you are correct. Im almost 52 and it has been down hill. I hate living in cold weather climates because it brings it out worse. If we are ever allowed in the States again, I would really like to spend February, MArch, and April anywhere South of Dixie. I love being in Nova Scotia the other months but I extremely hate winter

 

I’ve done cupping twice before, it works really good from my experiences.

look like kinda a mess until the cup marks go away

 

My little asian acupuncture doctor used to do that to me as well, right after the needles. Kind of weird, but whatever. The clicking is nothing to be worried about, you just need to keep working stuff around, but it does sound unnerving.

 

SO u figure its a good idea to keep on moving it around? I play lots of darts online and shoot in leagues in UK. I cant do that now because of the painIts been 3 months and it dont seem to be getting better. It came from nowhere ffs

 

For sure

I would drink a gallon of cat piss to get rid of this pain

 

Good luck man, chronic pain is the shits.

 

I have been getting calcium buildups in my shoulders for a dozen years or so. Good times. I have had times I couldn’t put a shirt on by myself. Man things go great after 40.

 

Come back to the banana belt on the South Shore. Pictou County is basically Siberia man.

 

I hope this helps him get his career back or at least get to where he can live without severe pain. I thought back injuries were bad until I hurt my shoulder. They also take forever to heal

 

Id love to but not enough Oiler fans down that way

 

52 next week pal.
I dont think I would get a shift with Bobby L out there now the shape Im in with this shoulder. Just to think, I played Junior 'C' on the 4th line when it meant something

 

whats everyone make of McLeod still sticking around for 4th line. He almost made it last year. Kid has wheels
Looks like
Ennis-McLeod-Chiasson
