The chiro said just ice on /off every 20 min or so.

The last few days I've taken a break from lifting & stuck w/ cardio because my shoulders are really bothering me. The massage on Thurs did nothing so I hit the chiro this afternoon --- lol she pushed the scapula back in on both sides of my back this time and did 20 min electro stim on the shoulders. I get to do the ice thing (or bagged ockra or some frozen crap I bought cheap) - 20 min on / 20 min off / repeat. Will see tomorrow about scheduling a massage or may wait until Mon nite because the girl who beats on my the best isn't working tomorrow.

Right now its just annoying. Can't get comfortable lying down or sitting up. Will keep it to just cardio for the next few days & play it by ear. How annoying.

Sorry to hear about the shoulder thingie again.....Ouch!! Is it the rotator cuff??

Heal up quickly!!

Heal up quickly!!

When I think about it, I think the rotator issue has been there since forever - I remember having an agonizing burn sensation on my right shoulder when I used that Rotator cuff machine at the Gold's Gym I trained in circa 1992. So chance are Ive always had some sort of a microtear or something in there. Talking to my chiro about it, she said I could get an MRI, but even if they find something, they either leave it to heal or opt for surgery, and the surgery doesn't always fix things.

Its certainly not been crippling (ref: 3 competitions and ongoing lifting since 1992). But w/ the lifting I've been doign lately it has become an issue. A few weeks ago I completley forgot to a warm up to start out my back day and it seems my whole right lat / delt engaged to compensate for the pain in my shoulder and aggravated it all to the point of causing the scapula to be pushed out. So I got that adjusted, did a massage around it to help accommodate the adjustment and for 2 weeks that hav e included several PRs, I've had no problems as long as I do the rotator warm up. This past week, however, I went nuts w/ a couple different PRs, the worst of them being:
- behind the neck military press -- trying to get that stupid bar off the rack w/ a shitty spotter is what did it -- the angle is so awkward, and then add weight to it and you have a recipe for disaster.
- 4 x 45 lb smith shrugs. My back can pull the weight up, my shoudlers can't support the weight. I can still feel my shoulders like they fell out of the sockets 4 days later.

So the result is that the right side has the repeated aggravation in addition to the aggravation that is also on the left side from the balanced amount of work both sides had to do. So the right scap popped out again and the left side was slightly out.

So basically this is all the result of probably a couple times not warming up the rotator on the right from an existing issue and then left just under the strain of the recent increases in weight.

So I'm just staying off most of the upper body stuff for a few days and sit w/ bags of frozen collard greens on my shoulders

^^ Might be worth getting the MRI just to see if it shows anything.....if nothing else it'd at least tell you what you DO have - if it shows up on the MRI.......however, if you don't have ins. right now - it may be cost prohibitive - mine for my knee was $1400.....
