chisag got a reaction from Old New Golfer in Golf, Injuries, and Aging
"I know some injuries, like the ankle sprain happen, but the ailments should be avoidable right? BUUUTTTT if you’re like me, broken from years of military service and have abused your body, what’s the answer? I am not, and I repeat, NOT eating bananas. Bananas are fruit of the devil!!! (Disclaimer: “Bananas are fruit of the devil” comment is only the view and opinion of this author. No bananas were otherwise hurt or smashed in this production.) Diet does have nutritional values to help alleviate some of these ailments and there are modern medical ways to help guard from them as well, but who wants to pop anti-inflammatories or wear that compression sleeve and forearm band? I like my golfer’s tan and those compression sleeves get in the way of that. Right now, I have one arm that is lighter than the other.
I’m not gonna lie, I probably won’t do anything except fight through the injuries. Ask my wife and she’ll tell you; I am as stubborn as they come and just as dumb to boot. She is the type to make the changes necessary to avoid the above mentioned. I am not. I won’t stop playing the game I absolutely cannot live without just for a dumb injury. I would rather forgo my golfer’s tan and wear the compression sleeve and forearm band. Medicated pads fit well under a compression sleeve too. I must come to terms with it. Like we all must come to terms with the declining swing speeds and distance loss as we age. It’s golf, and I can’t or won’t sit on the sidelines, I will be involved and play every chance I get."
... Played football through college. Played baseball and basketball in high school and then the Robert McAdoo summer league. I suffered many injuries and almost always played through the pain. Under 30 and the body can recover when playing through pain. After 30 not so much. And after 50 you are risking permanent damage. Took me awhile to figure that out and as my Orthopedic surgeon said "I know it seems like common sense but if it hurts, stop doing whatever makes it hurt until it doesn't hurt." Two back surgeries from playing football and getting blindsided in my lower back forced me to get back to strengthening and stretching. At 55 I had a slight tear of my labrum in my right shoulder and played through the pain, resulting in a frozen shoulder that took 6 months to recover and 9 months to fully heal. 🙄 Had I stopped and both waited for it to heal with strengthening and stretching, I probably could have come back after a month. Lesson learned.
... Now about those bananas. I was in a play where I had to consume 2 bananas per show and eaten with gusto. Wednesday/Saturday was 2 shows so I had to eat 16 bananas in 6 days taking Monday off. Thankfully it was only a 6 week run but that is still 96 bananas and when they wanted to extend I said no, not gonna happen and never again. I still don't eat bananas.

... So essential to keep up our strength, flexibility and cardio as we age. I bought a Golf Specific band workout and found the bands too weak. I picked up some Pro 60's with much stronger resistance and it works out every body part. Then my Elipse takes care of Cardio the days I don't walk the course. Two best golf purchases I have made:
