Strained shoulder ARG!!!

Sorry to hear about your shoulder, OH...hope you are on the mend fast. Take advantage of the light duty and give it time to heal. In other words, milk it baby, you've earned it!!

TWH..Wish I had known about those Lidocain patches yesterday, I would have asked the doc for a script....I have been using the Icy Hot patches forever. I recently tried the Walmart Equate equivalent, and wowzer, they are at least twice as strong and seem to work much better.
 

Thank you ladies. I haven't been using it since Wednesday after I saw the Doc. and it does feel a bit better.

I start physical therapy this afternoon. I'll do that twice a week for 6 weeks, I have my fingers crossed that it will do the trick.

And yes indeed I am not doing anything at work.
 
It went well I think.

He, the PT, is sure there is nothing wrong with my rotator cup, he moved my arm around A LOT and gave me 3 exercises to do and put some elastic tape on my arm to help support the muscles, it even stayed on through my shower.

It's the muscles and tendons in my upper arm and they are as sore and as tight as a drum. I'll go for 6 weeks twice a week, hope it helps.

So just exercises and ice on it and lots of Aleve, I'll get through this. :D
 
Seriously (damn I hate getting all serious 'n' stuff), follow the PT instructions and stick with it after your six weeks are up. Keeping those muscles strong and flexible will help now and in the future. Believe me. I know from experience.

Thank you for the good advice, and I am for sure taking it to heart!

They actually make me feel good/better and I am keep up with it.

This is one of the rare times I am actually doing what somebody tells me to do. :p
