NYC, like I said, sometimes it's just hard to tell. When I joke, I usually use a smilie or add "LOL" so someone knows, since I am also very hard to read from my replies.
A simple shoulder question and all of this got stirred up. Sorry people. No, I have not ever had a dislocated shoulder. I injured it this time holding a bullmastiff back from tearing into my boxer. It's hard to split up a 140# dog and 70# dog fighting by yourself. Since then I sold my bullmastiff, so no more shoulder injuries caused by him. I knew exactly when it happened. My should had just kind of a numbing sensation after I got them apart. I am on some Mobic (anti-inflammatory) right now and I go to see an orthopedic surgeon on the 9th of May. If it's a lot better I doubt I will go... but it's not getting much better, so I'll probably go. I think it may be different than my old shoulder injuries. This time I can barely bench 135 and my shoulder hurts. Before I could still bench, it just hurt, but didn't limit how much I can push. I went from benching 315-350 to 135 in one day. Talk about an ego killer. I have still been lifting moderately. If it doesn't hurt, I lift whatever exercise. If it hurts, i try something else. I can't stay out of they gym, it's an addiction.
It would be foolish not to go. If your getting a numbing sensaton and you have very little strenght, you could end up with permanant nerve damages. Then not benching would be the least of your worries.
sorry, i read the first sentence of your pos then your avatar loaded and i got distracted... if you want people to really focus on what youre saying, id recommend changing it lol
knox, take care of yourself man. I see that you in your mid 20's. You dont want to be 40 and gettin you shoulder replaced do you? i know i dont. I know a couple of guys who have had surgery and it is a long painful rehab. just watch it and do yourself a favor and see the doc.
Only time will tell. I will go to the ortho doc on May 9th. I'll post an update as to what he says. I do want it fixed correct. Right now I'm in a pretty shitty predicament. I herniated a disk about a year ago, it's better but not all the way healed so I take it easy on the legs. I still lift, but light. Now I'm restricted on upper body. My job is kind of up in the air at the moment as well. I hate working where I do. Management sucks, quality issues are through the roof and it is "acceptable", communication through people is rotten. But if I leave, and go to another company, my insurance may not cover a prior injury. Maybe I should just stick it out til I'm better. dunno sometimes though.
