rejuvenatedI've been dealing with issues with my shoulder for a couple months now. while doing my inconsistant regime of military presses with the dumbells, I HAD a small click that occured whenever I came down to about 90 degrees... I said HAD because one fine day about 2 months ago the click was joined by a curious TER-CLUNK-SNAP. I'm pretty sure there were 3 distinctive noises. it was weird, but no pain. I continued and realized quickly that the click was gone. WEIRD. next morning... or maybe 2 mornings after... OUCH!!!!! top of my shoulder is KILLING me!!!! hurt like hell to put on deodorant on the other side and to raise my arm above my head, and then there's taking off a shirt. sweet merciful crap!!!!!!
so in my quest for self healing, because my doctore is pretty standard and leans towards Physio as a solution (I F'N Hate physio... it has it's place, but it's too long a path for my mental health) I'm looking for alternate methods. my first line of defense was Massage. temporarily effective, but she didn't quite hit it. so, lets try lubing the joints.... I'm going to up my Omegas, especially those sourced from fish oils.... from once a day to 3 times a day. shooting for an EPA of about 500mg.
I also had Glutimine recommended to me by one of my buff comrades at work, so going to Popeye's (a place where really bulky people buy big buckets of odd powders) the fellow there pointed me at Tri-Glutimine. This little concoction is supposed to help with Muscle healing. I believe it's along the lines of a complex protein potion. Now i'm not sure I wanna jump the gun, but after 2 days of this and upping the omegas, I'm sitting here at 12:30 typing away realizing that I said this was going to be a quick entry. and last night wasn't much different. I am definitely less sleepy. I'll probably be boring you with the details of my supplement adventure so I can keep track of it for my own good as well.
CRAP... quick insert that I almost forgot. the purchase I'm considering - a TENS machine. specifically perhaps this one: http://www.lgmedsupply.com/twstteandems.html
Anyone out there have any experience with such a device. I've had the opportunity to try a Dr. Ho's, and I've been hooked up at Physio (the fool gave me control of the dial too... sweeeeeeeet). and I want one BAD! hooked up the Ho's to my shoulder this morning at my brothers and GOD it felt good.
Anywhoo. hopefully I will not forget to pack and take my gym bag with me tomorrow. my lunch time adventures with
corto and fit_girl_jessy are few and far between lately. quite looking forward to it. Work is deserving of some sloughing off lately. I really have to learn to ignore... or even just plain not read my e-mail. there is way to much dependence on that little monster to distract people from doing REAL work. it's become MUCH to easy for smart people to ask stupid questions.
Wearing my retro "Drink Coke" shirt, showing off my sexy tats and being quite inflated about the progress I have made at the gym over the last year ;) I really must say, it was a VERY GOOD DAY for RED! Would you not agree
corto ?well, off to the shower and bed and a brand new day. looking forward to a good Coffee Bitch Fest.
May the 4th be with you.... I started this before midnight, so it still counts!!!! my Blog, My rules! nyeaaaaaa!
Connorism - guess I'll call it that. his latest selection for his MP3 player - Hungry Eyes by Eric Carmen (thank you cheesy Tim Horton's commercial! JESUS... It JUST came on again too.
Sarahism - this was a month ago, but I have to document it. Sarah was being a goof-ass one fine evening and ignoring her mother so I says "Shut your Pie Hole and do what your mother says!" she turns to me with all the snide sarcasm a 6 year old could muster and reports "I don't eat pie. I don't even LIKE pie!"
touche!
OH GOD! one more thing... when am I going to shut up.
