How are things in life

[Beanz]

[Master]

At risk of being made redundant in about 18 months so just waiting for that to happen. Stayed there long enough to just wait and see what they do rather than look for something new.

Got sciatica on left side from over training and overdevelopment on right side. Trying to use stretching and balance the strain to rectify it.

Will get a tattoo or piercing very soon.

Yup miles same here blew out tendons in my right shoulder. I didn’t tear them they are all snapped. Now I’m no doctor miles but if you have a tear I wouldn’t rush into surgery. I bet if you get an mri on your knees you will find torn tendons, it’s quite common. I only say this as I’ve had tendon surgery previously and it is 10 times worse than breaking a bone. Of course if your pain is too much and it’s the only way to alleviate it it’s worth it

Yeah, I was reading that many men over 40 already have a shoulder tear and just don't realize it. I guess you just get used to pain and discomfort. It's not a terrible pain like being punctured by a bullet, but more your nagging stiffness and ache that just doesn't go away. That terrible shotgun pain is awful, but you know it will go away as you heal, but the nagging soreness is indefinite and just more annoying in its own way. It is strange as at times it seems to get better, but then it just hurts.

Will do light stretches for mobility and keep doing physio for now, but I miss lifting weights and working the body properly.

Torn tendons will not “heal”. Yours might be quite bad if you are getting that much pain, perhaps it’s so bad ur doc is thinking it’s going to snap if you don’t get surgery. It’s just that damn tendon recovery is so long. It’s really not a major surgery, I think my doc said 20 minutes or so but you need to be very careful as they can snap again post surgery if you move it too much. I hope the physio does it for you, once a tendon snaps you need to build up muscles to do a job they aren’t meant to do. I’ve had broken bones and tendons I’d much rather break a bone but my my choice would be neither

[walrus]

If I do this surgery the doc says he needs to put in hardware and I’m really not keen on mote metal in my body. One of these days I’ll end up setting metal detectors and if it’s at an airport I’m afraid I’ll get a anal cavity inspection

I am not sure if it is serious. I think not as there are times I feel nothing, but if I do my stretches then I start to feel it again. The tear I already have is very small and the surgeon recommended leaving it and just avoiding overhead weights for preservation and plenty of sideways elastics to maintain movement and stregth. I might well have aggravated that with my random mid air punch explosion. I shouldn't do things like that but in my head I am still 22.

I won't do surgery for the time being as I don't want to take a time out. Will stick with physio as these things can take time. They haven't done a new MRI but the doctor is guessing a frozen shoulder or bursitis. Could well be rotator cuff issues too, but we will see. Get through the term and properly deal with it this winter if the improvement doesn't occur.

Damn I hate when that happens can’t you lease a Ferrari for a month or so. Tats aren’t reversible there must be a better way we can handle this

Which is why I probably favour the piercing. Nearly hitting 50, which is scary.

Actually if you live to 95 it’s not too bad master. If you live to 52 yeah it’s bad. Age is rather relevant as we never know our expiration date. The only people who don’t think 90 is a long life are 89 year olds

Life is going wonderful for me thanks for asking
