Shoulder is pretty much healed

[Sorbate]

Update:

Shoulder is still coming along.
Went to a physio guy 2 weeks ago and he did shock wave on my shoulder. Way too early for that, then he did dry needling and left me with a monster bruise that I still have 2 weeks later, plus he didn’t even use an ultra sound to guide it into the calcium, just poking around guessing, then the only exercise he gave me was bent rows.

Ok didn’t go back to that guy.

Anyhow I have been doing rehab on my own, because I just have never had a good reaction with physio, likely because I just haven’t found one that is good yet. As an example when I had the trapped nerve in my trap, the physio therapist told me it would never get better and that I should find another line of work. Used another one that helped but didn’t fix it. So after that I tried a chrio. Got xrays, still nothing got better until I went to deep tissue massage therapy, and now it is cured.

So me being me and more money than brains, I bought a commercial shockwave therapy machine. I believe I may have bit off more than I can chew, lol. I have started to watch seminars on useage, settings and so on (about 3 hours deep) and once done that I will have to learn where the structures lie (so I can treat them, will ask my massage therapist for help).

There is maintance you need to do on these machines as well.

I gotta a laugh when the guy in one of the webinars stated, “you don’t want to buy a shock wave machine to use it as a massage gun, you need to learn how to use it effectively to get the best results”

But there is a ton of research out there that proves you can get rid of calcification in tendons, and fix tendon tendonopathies(sp? Sry) with this machine, even better at healing chronic issues with multiple treatments over months. So I can actually heal my tendons and bring them back to a healthy state again.
It also can help with the inter thickness tears I have.

Now here is the kicker. I cannot treat my shoulders myself and after I learn how to do the treatment, I need to teach my wife. Nothing like the blind leading the blind, lol.

But I thought even at worse not knowing what the hell I am doing, I should get better results than not using the machine at all.

Plus it can finally heal both of our plantar facitis.

I am into this deep now, kinda getting tired of feeling like a pin cushion.

Daily injection have now become

Every day

Gh 1 iu morning and night
2 mg bp157/2mg tb500(tapering tb over time
2 mg copper peptide

So yes 4 fucking injections a day, then add on my twice a week trt test and 50 mg of deca a week injections. I am not liking this becasue I do not like to use so much stuff.

And on recomendation I am now taking 10 mg of anavar daily for 6 weeks.

Plus HA pills, creatine and taurine also on recommendations I got on here.

And of course the normal supplements we all take lie fish oil and so on.

Oh and did I forget to mention that I ice 3 times daily and heat 2 times daily…..

So I am now feeling like a lab rat experiment.

But on the bright side my shoulder every day gets a tiny, itty, bitty, eeny, weenie, bit better. I can now lift my arm in the proper movement (so not lifting the shoulder when lifting overhead; that happened first time last night) but damn it crackles like a bastard. Still partly impinged.

It’s too bad I didn’t have a desk job, because I am positive that this would be resolved far quicker if I didn’t have to strain my shoulder at work every day, but I also look at it this way, a lot of the low effort movements I do are very similar to the rehab exercises I need to do. There is no way that lifting 75 or more boxes over 50lbs from waist height to over my head each week is on the recommended list of rehab exercises, lol.

So on Friday when I was making hamburger patties, as I was balling up the meat to put onto the feed ube, that is my inner rotation evercises, and when taking the patties off the conveyer belt, that is the same as external rotation exercises, so I didn’t need to do those exercises that day becasue I had already done like 100 reps each, lol. So I am trying to use the movements I do at work and changed the movement a bit to work as rehab exercises.

Anyhow I am starting to think I am maybe losing it a bit and going too deep into this, but I really love the learning aspect.

I am taking the same approach as I did when I first started weight training to get the maximum benefit. Everything had purpose, and my belief is a hundred little things once combined together, become a large thing.

holy shit lol... How much was the shock wave machine???? It's the one with the little ball inside the tube that slams back and forth a million times a second? I have not tried this treatment, but I heard it works for some. What you said about the tendon healing is interesting to me for sure.

Which one did you buy and does it have several strength settings? I ask as I watched several strongmen videos who have them at home to treat bone spurs which I have and would like to get rid of without surgery. The surgery route is brutal and you are off your feet if in your heels for weeks to months depending how quickly you get better. Glad to hear you are feeling better.

God, every time I read your shoulder story, I tell myself, damn, I’m not alone!

Do you think shockwave therapy works? I can’t remember if you had an MRI?

Are you still training?

No mri, didn’t bother even talking to the online doc to set one up.
All that was going to happen is I would have gone to physio first to see if it could resolve on its own, then surgery if not, so I didn’t bother wasting my time.

Shockwave therapy has numerous studies behind it proving it work. Now it won’t fix partial tears or complete tears, but fraying of the tendons like I have its perfect for. Even better if it’s a chronic issue. Pretty much what shockwave does is stimulate your body to heal. So you still need to have the diet in place.

I now have to stop even the nicotine mints. Nicotine has a huge negative impact on tendon healing and health. In one webinar I was watching one of the specialists explaining how to use the shock wave machine, stated if someone uses nicotine, and especially if they are a heavier smoker, the positive outcome will be minimal if at all.

So today’s the last Nocotine mint day.

God, every time I read your shoulder story, I tell myself, damn, I’m not alone!

Do you think shockwave therapy works? I can’t remember if you had an MRI?

Are you still training?

I am training legs, cardio and abs. Doing light shoulder rehab exercises eod. I could likely train arms and chest (with specific exercises) but my main focus is to get rid of the calcification and repair the tendons and that would be greatly hampered by training. I lift so much at work, that will slow progression down. It’s been 6 weeks and I don’t look a bit different. Maybe a bit of inflammation/ swelling from training is missing , but not anything any normal person would notice.

Been playing a new video game to use up my time.

Over $2000, you can spend more, but I didn’t need a last for a decade, using it daily machine. So if this one was likely used in a clinical setting it may have only lasted 5 years, but for me it will last a lifetime. Mind you this machine may be just fine.

Treatment is $100 a time, so I’ll need likely 20 treatments on my own, my wife 16 or so, then it’s long paid for.

And yep it shoots a chunk of something down the tube to create the shockwave

The surgery route is brutal and you are off your feet if in your heels for weeks to months depending how quickly you get better. Glad to hear you are feeling better.

I bought it off Amazon, and made sure that you could independently adjust settings. That is what I have been researching, the different settings for different things. Plus how to use it correctly. Like usually your first bet is to treat the nerves to reduce pain, then work on what you want.

You can get grid of bone spurs, but just remember it’s nothing something at is fixed first treatment. The boney deposit will take time to break up. And in severe cases it may not work.

I have done about 6 hours of research now, even taking notes. Next is how to learn where to treat for my wifes and I conditions.

Honestly it’s been kinda comical, most of the therapists say, you do what we are taught to do the first time for the condition, if that works great, but if not, just keep trying other related, and even sometimes not related items until it resolves. So fake it till you make it, lol. I believe if you had a therapist who had treated numerous people with your same condition, they would get a better understanding of what to do thru trial and error.

Good move bud. Shockwave did a really good job on calcium deposits in my LHBT in not many sessions as proved by imaging, Heads up not necessarily that uncomfortable for he-men like you and I but had it touch my collar bone once or twice and that really got my attention.

Cool info about nicotine, I never heard of that, have been considering it as a sup for a while but will have to prioritize looking at that before considering it again.

If you go for shoulder surgery, right in the sheet they send you home with it says to quit 3 weeks before and don't smoke for 6 weeks after. Same with replacement surgeries. Or at least what I saw on the net.

I will need to hit the top of my shoulder joint to break off the boney spurs, so I'll let you know how that goes, lol. Still likely less painful than surgery. I am faking it so I will hit all sorts of things I am not supposed to

If you think about it, nicotine reduces blood flow, the complete opposite of what you want from shock wave which increases blood flow.

I wonder if you could just override the nicotine blood flow reduction with daily cialis, lol. Yeah I know I'm an addict.

IDK if it works well or not but you may want to check out home models of those machines, I recall from past discussion that they might not be that expensive

I bought one. Spent a little over $2000.
I have not looked into replacement parts, but right at the start of the manual it stated that this was a professional machine and only professionals should use it.

And after that disclaimer then the next page it thanked you for buying the machine for your own at home personal use, or for your clinic.



Anyhow, I tried it out on our feet. It has presettings and I turned the energy down to half of what they suggested just to try it out. The hardest part was trying to get my wife to stop moving and laughing as I was putting the gel on her feet. She didn’t find the machine ticklish though, in specific spots near bone he winced. I will slowly increase it to the energy setting on the machine. One therapist suggested to start of lower with your patients and then by the third time, make it as intense as they can take. I guess ramping up like this the pain is less.

It is unfortunate that no one mentioned the frequency they used (frequency is the amount of times it hits per minute) but they do state the energy and most were lower than what this machine suggests. Not sure if the machine is set for higher energy and lower frequency, and they use a lower energy and higher frequency. Guess you can get similar results.

I found higher energy and lower frequency was my preference, becasue at higher frequency it lost its umph.

This machine is a beast. Like 30x30 and 24 high, weighs about 25 lbs without the wand.

Came with everything and full maintenance instructions.

The heads are good until they are worn 2 mm on the inside striking surface, and how long that takes I have no idea. Each one of the bullets are good for 1,000,000 strikes and I have 5 in the kit.

By the amount of sutuff you got with it to repair it like seals and such, you can tell it was meant to be used a lot, in more of a clinical setting.

I am going to do some cardio, and my shoulder rehab exercises then nail my better shoulder pretty good tonight. I now when he did my sore one like almost 3 weeks ago, for about 3 days it felt pumped. Going to try and imitate that feeling.

So I will have already saved $200 in treatment costs just today. It will be paid for in a few months no problem.

I'll ask what everyone is thinking...
How'd it feel on the peener?

Legit use for "fuckin around corner dick" in case you didn't know. I did break mine when I was younger, If I had my own machine I'd probably give it a go. Maybe I'll just sneak into sorbs garage while he's at work, I'll probably even clean it off after

 

[Sorbate]

Didn't try it on that. I am going to though, why not I have the machine.

Hammered my "good" shoulder pretty good. And honestly I believe today it feel better, doesn't sound as crunchy. I did do the bad shoulder, but took it easy on that one this time.

In the basement. Cleaning is essential, lol.

Mine curved to the left a bit, then I started to point it the other directing when tucking it in my pants and it has seemed to go straight. But I think sadly that maybe I got scared tissue on the other side so it’s likely just shorter, lol.

 

[Sorbate]

I am not calling it yet, but damn both my shoulders feel better today. Even the bad one pretty much feels like how either one of my shoulders would feel on and off for the last few years.

I really think this shock wave machine is going to work out well.

My feet didn’t hurt near as much at work today either.

Only part that sucks is you have to wait a few days between treatments but I really want to do it every day.

My wife's hip (likely sciatica) has been really bothering her lately, so did a treatment on that tonight, the best part was when I was cleaning the gel off and I got in some extra ass squeezing, lol. I am hoping with the rehab stretches and exercises she has already been doing (which was slowly helping) that this will get her over the hump and back to functioning normal.

I will get my wife to do a treatment on my shoulder blade area and a couple of muscle lumps I still have in my back tomorrow and work the top of my trap and the tendons on the top of my shoulder.

I’ll have to show her the videos I saved so she knows where to treat.

 

[Sorbate]

Fuck me, this shoulder is going to take months to heal back to where it was before the injury.

So last night figure I’ll do very light shoulders.

Started with seated dumbell presses, figure I’ll do 10lbs each hand, seemed easy enough, no pain, so I figure I’d graduate to 20’s.

The injured shoulder, I couldn’t press the 20 from the starting position. I pushed, but it wouldn’t go up. Everything is still weak.

I can finally do external rotation exercises with 5 lbs, last week was only the weight of my forearm (I do it lying on my side)

The impingement is almost gone, it doesn’t hurt, but I still feel a snapping noise lifting my arm.

If it keeps progressing at this rate, I’m thinking end of Feburary before it’s back to almost full strength.

I know work is inhibiting my healing, but it is crazy right now, so nothing I can do about it. Our freezer is so full we have to pull stacks out in order to get in to grab something. The cooler isn’t much better, everyone came last minute this year, hunters and the farmers that get us to smoke their pork, hut us all at once.

Mind you I’ve been keeping busy anyways with other projects, rebuilt a couple pieces of equipment at work, they will now last until I retire in 10 years. Did full rebuilds, replaced bearings and contacts, cleaned up the wiring connections (we get a lot of corrosion because of all the humidity and water and changed any oil if needed.

I like to keep on top of maintenance before things break, that way I don’t have breakdowns. We can’t afford to stop production over a breakdown.

Mind you I haven’t lost any size, still weigh the same, am still leaner like 12% likely.

I’m thinking the 200 mg of test and 1 iu gh is likely helping that.

Maybe. If so it's just like how even a broken clock is right 2x a day buddy (some of the youngins probably wondering WTF that means lol)

If that is in fact what happened you probably have to keep on it forever. It can happen at times you may not suspect, for example when you are just standing at the cashier with a jug of milk in your hand, arm hanging all relaxed, then "TWANG"

As the boys both said I'd still get to physio/kinesiologist asap, fucking shoulder is complicated like a fine Swiss watch, make sure everything is moving like it should in there. Good luck

This just happened to me but "TWANG" wasnt the sound :/
