thanks Dave this is encouarging and helpful..the gym has been like my temple in many ways. the dr's office said it is okay to train light weights just do not do deltoid raises or shoulder presses otherwise light upper body is ok. I like the idea of keeping my body moving and i like your words about Cross education..reminds me of years ago when i studied massage they said to work on the non injured side first as it sends messages to the other side-
was wondering if you can clarify (cause i like to make things complicated) did you mean "I would use machines (only exercise uninjured limb) so that you don't further injure your shoulder, getting the weight in position. use the uninjured to get the weight in position then do lightly with both sides or - i think i am getting that you are saying just dont use the injured limb at all?
i did try a very light upper body set on weds after the dr's office said light was ok.. and my shoulder hurt alot yesterday..but icing and arnica oil seem to help it. i have to get clearance from my immunologist and infectious disease dr before they will schedule my surgery- it all seems like a pain.. and wondering.. will i really need help for aftercare afterword? thanks for the encouargament!
