Shoulder FUK

[Mizfit]

I strained my shoulder doing push ups yesterday

How long does it usually take to feel better doctor said to take at least a week off of the gym.

I've never had an injury before

[NotSmall]

Should be good in a coupla hours if I give you one of my therapeutic rubdowns










Sorry 'bout that, couldn't help myself - it's the test

Injuries are a bummer, hard to say how long really, JayHova gave me some really good advice recently when I hurt my back - hit him up.

If you need help changing I'm here for you hun....doh! there I go again

Not that long considering you were doing pushups. It can't be any huge tear/strain as could happen with d-bells and such.

U think it might of been the dumb bell then i was using prior to the push ups

[Mizfit]

ok i'm a dumb ass i did alot of push up's and shoulder's on the same day and i think i over did it.. but beside anti inflamtories what els can i do..

i'm not happy about this

Shoulder press with dumb bells (20's and 15's)and lat and the front ones with 10's.

[decadbal]

yea, just rest for a week..

Well, RICE it. Raise, Ice, Compress, I can never remember what E stands for. Sorry. Ice it and squeeze the Ice on with an ace bandage. Do this like 15 minutes at a time for the first 24 hours. Then use a heat pad on it. If you don't have one, just stick a damp towel in the microwave for a spell, then put that in a plastic bag. Then put that in a another towl and wrap it around your shoulder.
Take a week off. Then get back into it real easy. Good luck, babe.

A week or two and what 63190 said. Speaking of 63190...........neverrrmind.

U need me to send that lotion back to you?

I get the impression you overexcerted your delts. More specifically maybe your front delt? Its probably innocuous. If you didnt really tear the muscle and/or tendons then 4-5 days off should be sufficient but one week is good. As previously mentioned the R.I.C.E technique is quite good. Actuallty the "R" is for Rest, Ice, Compression and "E" for elevation. The Ice is naturally for anti-inflammatory reasons but you are probably beyond that point(72 hours). For he****g a warm massage or shower/bath will do you good. Since your shoulder is higher then you heart, you dont need to do any elevation. My guess is thats its just a micro-tear.

The anti inflamitories are making it feel a bit better but.. buh im gonna go bonkers..

I guess even leg work will put pressure on my shoulder..

My friends took me out for my birthday last nite, it was the 13th but my father insisted on taking me out last saturday.. the bugger... and i don't think vodka was the cure for my shoulder.. because i slept on it

if ur dr said a week at least didnt he? thats how long it'll take

[decadbal]

just rest it up and enjoy your time off, i cant do chest bc of a retear in my pec... so now i have to have a day of catch up.. so i can get in 5 workouts a week

[Brent_G]

oh the good ol shoulder pain. i learned to live with it somewhat. its the worst when i start. Once i get a good amount of water in me it tends to completely go away for the workout. Its nothing major...more of an annoyance to me.

[needmorestrength]

how will legs put pressure on your shoulder?

[63190]

Leg press, shoulders bare some of the load as it becomes your base.
Hack squat, load is on the shoulders.
Squat, the bar on the traps, pushes down on the shoulders some what.
All caught up now, needsmorestrength.

Lol I dont know how you do leg press, but my shoulders are never part of the base. As long as her exterior lig's, and ulna arn't upset she can def do lunges (light weight), leg extensions, ham string curls, Leg inductors both inside and outside!! Depending on the shoulder injury, she can have someone spot her as she does squats, balancing the bar on her TRAPS, so she doesnt have to extend, and supinate the shoulder!1 All caught up now 63190

The bars that u put across your shoulder..
i'm a walking accident

[anaBROLIC]

shoulder injuries suck. i have a bad rotator cuff and every so often it starts to bother me when lifting. lately when i do shoulders it feels like my whole arm is going to fall off...sucks..

[Mizfit]

I actually don't do leg press..

but i do the rest of the leg exercises mentioned.. i don't feel the burn with leg press

[63190]

Ligs and ulna? Pics, 'cause I'm lost. I do leg presses after I've hit squats, walking BB or DB lunges, curls, and straight leg deads. I do them on days I don't do extentions. My leg press back board is wide and tall. So it spreads the load from my lower back up to the top of my spine. On either side are my shoulder blades. When your shoulder is FUKed, pushing forward from the back of the shoulder hurts. Wasn't sure how tender Mizfit's injury was.
Got me now needsmo'?
Any way, how are you doin' Mizfit?

[Prada]

You can do squats with dumbells instead of a barbell. Works pretty well.
