Well, after 2 separate visits to the dr. And 2 separate shots of cortisone, ice packs, changing the types of shoulder exercises, and 800mg ibuprofen I finally can begin to lift somewhat medium weight. It's like starting over to regain strength from lifting which I love.
AND NOW HAVE BURSITIS IN MY LEFT ELBOW. I can't catch a break. I've had 1 cortisone shot and not better. Ice packs...hear I come.
