Rotater (sp?) Cuff Injury!?

-CyMrAeG- Posts: 18 Joined: 2003/05/07	2003/07/31, 01:19 PM Guys... went to the doc's today and found i have got a rotater cuff injury! Gutted! What should i do about my training? He said to leave doing weights totally... but i don't want to leave training. Any suggestions? Or should i just 'suck eggs' and not train? All the best, Cymraeg
	2003/07/31, 02:06 PM Cy, Had the injury and had the surgery 6 weeks ago. I have 8 more weeks of rehab and then can start over again. With Docs permission I have been train abs and legs during this time. It was very painful and very inconvenient.

Holding a weight in your hand and moving your arm in a full circle is the most comon exercise. Good thing muscle has memory so you can get back to the point you were at before you had to stop.

That was a relief. ... unbelievably due to the fact that the British healthcare system is totally screwed I would have to wait upto 5-6 months before i even START rehab!! I know tell me about it. I will now have to go private. Ravenwolf... i am goin to carry on training my lower half to be honest mate, he aint stopping me doing that. lol! Thanks for your words so far guys... much appriciated, Cy

I mostly had pain during any kind of press and laterals. He only had me lay off the exercises that caused discomfort, anything else was ok. After a couple months I started back, but light and working only below a pain level. Meaning if my laterals started hurting half way up then I went just below that. Eventually I was back to speed. Now when I start to feel even the slightest discomfort in my rotator, I do these exercises a few times and it helps a lot. -------------- ~Victoria~ ...There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.--Beverly Sills
