I’ve been forced to take a break from training thanks to a totally ridiculous shoulder injury sustained while reaching out to flick a bloody light switch yesterday!
Grrrrrr …
I mean REALLY now! Turning of a light??? Am I THAT decrepit?
I’m in absolute agony, but it’s not a consistent pain, it only hurts when I move my arm in certain positions. And when I say “hurt” I mean the curse-your-mother’s-nether-regions kind of pain 🙁
Oh well, nothing I can do except rest it for a day or two I guess. Hrmph!
@Jeanette … me, a softy? No way man … I’m hardcore 😀
@Rox … you’re right, this won’t really set me back. And after my scale delivered the good news to me this morning, I am so freaking AMPED!!!
Eek, I hate having injuries mess things up. I had a bad fall on my knee last month, took weeks to heal and attempted a run before it was fully healed… was not fun.
If you have been training pretty hard lately, a rest won’t set you back though – in fact some studies have shown that a rest after a period of solid training actually helps muscles grow.
Hard as it is, take it easy and get better soon!
P.S. Well done on your progress, saw your tweet just now. 🙂
Hehe, you’re a softy hey?!
Yeah. What I need to actually do is start eating more magnesium rich foods (spinach, almonds, etc) and take a calcium supplement. That’ll help this ol’ bod 🙂
Absolutely, not many of us are thrilled to go to gym, so when we do, we don’t want things which stop us. Dee will tell you to use some special salts, the name ends in an ‘m’ and starts with an ‘e’ or ‘s’.. 😛
@Chris … it feels like its easing up a bit thank goodness. At least I hope so! I was just starting to feel strong again until this set me back and I don’t want to lose my momentum …
“curse-your-mother’s-nether-regions” Hahahhahahahahha
Sorry to hear about your shoulder :/
@BigFriendly … ROTFLMAO!!!!
Wahahahahahahahahaha *wipes away the tears* 😀
I also have an injury like that. I’ve had it since playing rugby at high school. It only flares up when I’m leaning far to the left, while my middle finger is hooked over a curtain rod and all my weight is resting on my left leg trying to keep me balanced on a stool balanced on the back of the couch. I get this stabbing pain in my neck and it only happens when my next door neighbour is skinny-dipping in her pool. Doctors can’t find the cause. Strange hey? So I feel for you.
