JENNR8R 0 #1 September 10, 2006 I had a hard opening on Saturday. Today I'm sore and it's hard to lift my arm without pain in my arm and shoulder. How long do you think the soreness will last? I'm not jumping today to give my body a chance to heal. I usually exercise every weekday (alternating days of deep-water aerobics and a gym routine focusing on upper body strength). Would it be better for me to stop that for a few days?... Or would the soreness work itself out faster if I continued the exercise?What do you call a beautiful, sunny day that comes after two cloudy, rainy ones? -- Monday.

Tornolf 0 #2 September 10, 2006 I swear by my chiropractor after doing 3-4 terminal BASE jumps in a night. Never had anything as severe as what you're describing, but he's never made me feel worse.A waddling elephant seal is the cutest thing in the entire world. -TJ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JENNR8R 0 #3 September 10, 2006 I swear by my chiropractor Quote I routinely go to my chiropractor every four weeks. I believe I'll go tomorrow so she can put me back together. Maybe a massage in a few days would be good too. I want to be better by Saturday so I can jump in a 4-way competition.What do you call a beautiful, sunny day that comes after two cloudy, rainy ones? -- Monday.

I put ice on for the rest of the afternoon and slept on my right side for a couple days. During that time a really hot! shower massage kept things limber. But are'nt the colors really cool!? Just rest it best you can so you don't aggravate it. I'm certainly no DR. Hope you feel better soon, AND DO! show off the bruise! Blue skies P.S. I also wrote "I will be stable at pull" 100 times in my logbook might lay off the upper body exercise,rest it.I'm fine...crazy people don't know they're crazy...No,Really!

It could be any number of things including a spine issue manifesting itself with the symptoms you describe.

Whoop dee doo. I honestly believe that 30 minutes of rubbing your back once a month is a waste of money. The therapy is not intensive or frequent enough to have a major impact. Swimming and lots of stretching are your friend. If it's painful in a few days go to a doc. After having seen half a dozen physio's for a few times a week for 3 months... Im happy to say they did nothing for me that I couldn't have done myself. If it wasn't free I wouldn't have gone along. Perhaps not for shoulder injuries, but for backs I know lots of people who swear by yoga and swimming."In one way or the other, I'm a bad brother. Word to the motherf**ker."
