I'm officially cutting now........
I wish I could recomp instead. No heavy pushing or pulling. I can't even do push ups at the moment. Even squats put too much pressure on the shoulder. I can do leg press, leg curls, leg extensions, GHRs, calve raises, sled pulls, etc.
I went to the school's infirmary. I talked to a doctor there who knew a decent amount about shoulders & then we walked over to the "injury office" where I met the university's PT. It was great that I knew what I was talking about & what my goals were. They didn't really tell me anything I didn't already know, but it was nice to have that affirmation. The plan is to rehab the shoulder as much as possible and do prehab to prevent an injury before January. When January rolls around, I'm hoping to get an MRI. They said that they could send me to an orthopedist, but he would be in the dark also without an MRI.
I'll be going to PT every day, I hope. He set up an A session & a B session. Because the movements are done sooooo slowly, I was in there for almost two hours. At the end of every session, he is going to put a couple of bags of ice on my shoulder & do the electric stim for 20 minutes. Wow, at the end of todays session I was in pain from the inflammation. A shit ton of ice & the electric stimulation did the trick...I felt great after. I'm going to go ice it now because it's getting inflamed again. I am going to run out & get some naproxen also...probably on the way to the gym for some cardio.
