Progress Update, 29/09

So I'd say I'm 98% healed. I still get a little stiff in the morning, but generally I'm pain free throughout the day, feeling strong enough to carry 30kg shopping bags and...

My AC was acting up a week or two ago while I was recovering from an RC tear. After a week of complete rest from ice, NSAIDs, rehab exercises and all overhead movements, it's definitely healing...

Be real careful with your shoulder. I'm coming off an RC tear and sprained AC, and it's easy to see how important the shoulders are, but also how the slightest overuse can flare up the injury and...

I'd say a combination of both: overtraining and the right side overtaking it. Take a week off to rest, then go back to dumbbells and concentrate hard on form for a few weeks.

Bursitis is like tendonitis. Rest and ice, and maybe anti-inflammatories if it's too painful during the day. Avoid aggravating the condition by avoiding repetitive movements and anything too...

Daily Log, For 21/09: Rest

More of the same today. Pain is gradually getting better and better. ACs were good today, since it's the weekend I could move around freely without being stuck in one...

Daily Log, For 20/09: Rest

Today was pretty much the same as yesterday, except that with it being Saturday I wasn't in work, so have been pretty comfortable all day. ACs still feel a bit......

Daily Log, For 19/09: Rest

Supps as usual.

No stretches, no ice. Didn't have time or energy and generally couldn't be bothered.

Pain was manageable through the day, but got really bad...

Rest first to let any pain go away, then come back slowly and make sure your form and posture is correct, and that you're not using too much weight. Strengthen all parts of the shoulder evenly,...

I always feel a bit stiff in the mornings. It's because you've not moved for 8-10 hours.. and if you're a bit of a mental sleeper like I am, you've been grinding your teeth and tensing your muscles...

Mine does the same thing at about 90%/parallel to the floor. I raise to just below that point when lifting, then I don't get the pop. To make sure I get full benefit though, I do lat raises extra...

Daily Log, 18/09: Rest

Supps, as usual with 3x cissus.

Iced twice in the evening.

Pain was bad today. Woke up with sore and stiff ACs this morning, eased off a bit in the morning, but now...

Ouch man, that tear looks nasty! Do chicks dig it? :)

Good luck on the surgery, and recovery.

Could be an RC sprain, could be tendonitis, could be something else. Where exactly in the shoulder does it hurt? What sort of pain is it? What sort of motions aggravate the pain? Does it hurt during...

Daily Log, For 17/09: Rehab

Supps, as usual, with an extra cissus at lunch (that makes 3 for the day).

Stretches + rehab exercises, ice afterwards.

Pain during the day was OK. Again,...

Cheers guys. My condition definitely is getting better.. just gotta keep doing what I'm doing and not go too hard too soon.

@ShiftyCapone - do you still lift even if it hurts? Where do you have...

Daily Log, For 16/09: Rest

Supps as usual.

Stretches once in the evening, iced after.

This has got to be one my best days so far. Shoulder pain was virtually non-existant, and my clavicle...

A massage? :)

You could take BCAAs in pill form.

Sounds like a muscle imbalance, or perhaps a mild pull or sprain like inkdforlife said.

If it is an imbalance, you need to strengthen the opposing muscle. For example, if your chest were...

@CoQ10

I've been on 800mg of Ibuprofen for about 6 weeks, and it definitely provides a lot of relief from inflammation and swelling, and therefore pain from irritation. I dose half in the morning...
