tommc23 9,730 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Picked up a painful back injury. Not really sure how I did it, but about 2 weeks ago went down to Missouri to play a quick softball tournament in my brothers name . Left Friday after work came back home Sunday. Then Tuesday Wednesday had training at headquarters 1:45 away with 6 hours of training then back home. Thursday went to the course after work for league right left started getting painful made it difficult to walk got huge cramp in my right glute. Haven't been able to take more than 2 steps without a ton of pain getting worse the longer I go. Went to the dr got xray showed nothing. Got some steroids muscle relaxers and antiinflamitory. I imagine if the Palin doesn't get better after I finish the steroids in a few days it will be MRI time.

Shankster 25,746 Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 This last week has wreaked havoc on my shoulder. Well, I should say it had been declining again. It's the same as it was before the surgery. I am starting to wonder if I am stuck like this forever. I can do everything I need to, but it gets painful after a while. PT tomorrow, hopefully they can figure something out. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MattF 9,982 Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 How's your neck and back Alan? I know what your Doctor has said by your posts here, but have you considered going to a chiropractor? I have pain in my left should that flares up and it's from my neck. A trip to the chiro once a month sorts me out. 1 Quote In the bag: Driver: TSi2 Project X HZRDUS Smoke Black RDX 6.0 Fairway: 939X 15° Project X Even Flow Blue 6.0 Hybrid: TBA Irons: D7 Forged 4-GW Project X Catalyst 80 6.0 Wedge: Smartsole S Putter Tracy Bag: Alpha Convoy 514 Balls: MTB-X or Black Cart: CaddyLite ONE Ver. 8 God Bless America, God save the Queen, God defend New Zealand and thank Christ for Australia!

PT tried that scraping treatment, seemed to help, said there was a lot of scar tissue. She also checks my neck alignment. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The "Graston Technique" was my absolute least favorite treatment during my PT tenure. Ooooo just makes me cringe thinking of it.

RoverRick 1,545 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I got released Friday by the doctor, this was my first weekend to make full swings on the golf course. Very mixed results on my golfing, but just minor pain, more of a nuisance than real pain. 4 Quote Driver: ST190G on Fujikura ATMOS Black Fairway: ST190TS 15° on Fujikura ATMOS Black Hybrids CLK 22 & 25 (set to 20° & 23°) on Fujikura SPEEDER Irons: MP5 5-P on True Temper Dynamic Gold Wedges: MP-T5 52*, 56* & 60* on True Temper Dynamic Gold Wedge Putter: 2018 Select Newport 2 Balls: Pro V1X Shoes: Range Finder: Precision Pro NX7 Pro All grips are BestGrips Micro-Perforated Link to post Share on other sites

Shankster 25,746 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Update. Apparently I “heal too fastâ€. PT did Studs favorite technique again yesterday, it was like running over a gravel road. A bunch of scar tissue bumping into my bicep tendon. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kenny B 24,319 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Ahh, mate, that sucks. I have DDD in the L5/S1. I had an MRI done maybe 10 years ago, and they said I had DDD there too. It's better known as "old age". Still living with it; stretching and mild meds. 1 Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to post Share on other sites
Shankster 25,746 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Woke up this morning and my shoulder was “stuck†just like before. Pretty sure I had a botched surgery. We are at 5 months out now and I'm still having recurring issues. Requesting to see a new doc to get a different opinion. Might have to start to learn how to play left handed.

Sounds like a fun challenge, but I'd do it with the careful eye of a coach. It would be like starting from scratch, no bad habits. Might be worth it. Haha 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shankster 25,746 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Perfect. My right hand is all messed up. Can't grip my golf clubs without pain. I wonder if this is a sign. First was the shoulder; now my hand and shoulder. Hope this crap goes away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RoverRick 1,545 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 I am happy to report I am mostly healed. I still have some minor pain, more of tired feeling in my shoulder, my elbow is down to 1 1/2 normal size and no rib pain. I returned to work, actually I started a new job last week, and no major issues. I can still tell there was a problem, but 95% healed. 5 Quote Driver: ST190G on Fujikura ATMOS Black Fairway: ST190TS 15° on Fujikura ATMOS Black Hybrids CLK 22 & 25 (set to 20° & 23°) on Fujikura SPEEDER Irons: MP5 5-P on True Temper Dynamic Gold Wedges: MP-T5 52*, 56* & 60* on True Temper Dynamic Gold Wedge Putter: 2018 Select Newport 2 Balls: Pro V1X Shoes: Range Finder: Precision Pro NX7 Pro All grips are BestGrips Micro-Perforated Link to post Share on other sites
