I forgot I even had this account but logged into it accidentally today while trying to log into a recently made account. I received a PM from someone 3 weeks ago who found this thread from google...
Definitely see an orthopaedic surgeon. I've just recently started lifting again after a 5 month layoff due to a torn labrum (cartilage) in my left shoulder. At first, i started feeling some pain...
I got an MRI a month and a half ago thinking it'd turn up nothing. Turns out I tore some cartilage (torn labrum) which might've needed surgery. I've been doing physical therapy and going to a good...
he-man: sorry to hear that man. I feel your pain, though admittedly I'm not in nearly as much pain and have no problem sleeping, etc. Do you have any plans for upper body workouts a few months...
I've looked up a lot of journals and articles about torn labrums. When they perform surgery, they basically suture it up and use a plastic anchor to nail the tendon back to the bone. This is...
My left shoulder just started clicking and popping a lot. Eventually I felt some pain on top of the shoulder when holding heavy dumbbells. I talked to the doctors initially and they suggested it...
I'm 22 and have been lifting seriously for about a year. I was recently diagnosed with a torn labrum in my shoulder from improper lifting. The bicep tendon is intact so I believe it is a Slap III...
Well I went to the orthopedic surgeon today and he said the tear occurred right before the bicep tendon and is more of an anterior lesion than a superior lesion (slap). This is supposedly less...
I know there have been some injury threads on here before but I was wondering how many of you have been injured enough to require surgery? What problem did you have, how long ago was it, and how has...
thanks for the input guys. I'm definitely going to look into prolotherapy. Flex, did the football guys ever lift more than pre-surgery? I know I didn't reach my potential before my injury and...
Well that's great news chickeneater; I'm glad to hear a positive story. What's your age by the way? Do you think this and your physical fitness contributed to your good recovery? And did you do a...
aj - what did you do when recovering from your radial head tear? Light weights, just physical therapy? Do you still have any pain now or can you do everything you did before?
I recently had an MRI which showed I have a tear in my glenoid labrum (Slap tear). I have to see a specialist next week but was wondering if any of you have ever had a Slap tear before and if you...
I get clicking in my left shoulder. Doctor says it's not good to do exercises that make it click and pop. My left shoulder's been slightly injured, probably the AC, and I'm trying some massage...
I had my last bad spot today on the bench press. Afterwards I tried working with the power rack but the settings are 6 inches apart, the one closest to my chest is actually about half an inch below...
I've had some left shoulder pain for a few weeks now. I've had some impingement where the shoulder clicks and I've also had some pain on top of the shoulder when I hold a heavy dumbbell, not sure if...
I'm a bit confused. I can't imagine anyone moving the entire bench press into the power rack just to do a few sets. Do you just bring a barbell, load it up with weights and let it sit on the two...
