Kor.A.Door 5,839 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I've been fortunate enough not to have been seriously injured in all of my sporting endeavors of the course of my lifetime, I have been injured, several times, just not very serious which I am very thankful for. The worst of my injuries have been to my left arm and shoulder, but I have also injured my right shoulder. The right shoulder I separated while in the military, that healed over a long period of time, I dont have any issues from that. My left shoulder I damaged during baseball, 18 years or so of pitching, also had pitchers elbow, those injuries have healed over the years as well since I don't use them to throw very often, probably the worst injury I had was to my left elbow while playing hockey, I was tripped by the goalie while scorig a goal, and kind of flew into the boards with my arm stuck behind me, and tore something up pretty good, I had to go to work so I skipped the doctor that time, after several months of pain and soreness it finally felt ok, but I still cannot fully straighten my arm, and when I throw baseball or football for long period of time, it gets really sore. I probably should have it looked at, but... I don't like doctors so I probably won't unless I don't have any other choice. Of course, I always have a sore back, and sore knees, but I manage for now. 2 Quote Lefties are always in their Right Mind Link to post Share on other sites
Jmikecpa 12,597 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 TJ survivor here. I had it near the end of my baseball playing days. That's a solid year or more down for the count. Even when you feel good, you'll be sore as hell after physical activity. My rehab facility actually gave me a graduation certificate when I finally finished up. I'm 8 years past it now and still feel good as I did before the surgery. That being said, I've got to really pay attention to my elbow when it gets sore from golf so I don't stress it too much and end up back on the table. In your situation, you can't make it worse by waiting. Just hang on as long as you can before the pain is too much. Forearm exercises and stretches are your friend. Sent from carrier pigeon using MyGolfSpy One would think pitching until my mid 30's would have had me there sooner but it happened almost five years after I hung my spikes up. I came close to having it done last October but some good golf invites put the brakes on (I would have played Pebble with one arm if I had to). Once I decided to wait I got the same advice that it won't get any worse and to not push it. Took the entire winter off from hitting balls and only had one flare up this season as opposed to shutting it down for a month last year. The only real area that it hurts right now is ability to practice as much as I normally do but hoping to build back into that. And again graphite iron shafts are a huge help. I also start d using a stress ball in the car for my drive to and from work to help get some reps on my hands and forearms. Will also say that losing a bunch of pounds helped that now I am a lot more flexible and can drive better with my legs in the golf swing and taking some stress off my upper body.

kardboard.kid 2,087 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Excessive weakness in my legs, balance and coordination problems while walking or even standing. Occasionally blurred vision, numbness or tingling in my hands. It could be anything or just simply getting older. I want to make sure if it is MS that I have it documented at the VA. I've already been through prostate cancer which was related to agent orange and my last psa test showed elevated so I hope that crap is not returning.

Second I got worked up for MS about 8 years ago due to some similar symptoms to you. Saw 5 different specialists who concluded they couldn't find anything wrong with me. MS is tough to clearly diagnose so go into your assessment with the knowledge that they may not find anything concrete. Regardless, I wish you luck with your situation I know it can be frustrating dealing with those issues. 4 Quote Driver: Speed Zone 9* HZRDUS Smoke Yellow Shaft 3 Wood: King Speedzone 13.5* HZRDUS Smoke Black Shaft 2 & 3 Hybrids: Speedzone Recoil 480 ESX Shaft Irons: Speedzone 5-GW Recoil 460 ESX Shafts Wedges: MIM 54* Versatile/60* Widelow Putter: Dual Force Rossi II Ball: Whatever I find in the woods HCP:18 Link to post Share on other sites

kevin1889 27 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Just this past week I was playing with a buddy who got a real freak injury on the course. He was putting the flagstick back in the hole and all of a sudden screamed out in pain. Turns out the fiberglass flagstick was frayed and he had a shard go through his finger and fishook around so he couldn't pull it out. We were stuck on the green for about a 1/2 hour until paramedics could get there, cut the flagstick and take him to the hospital to remove the rest of it from his hand. Luckily there were no fragments of fiberglass or ligament damage. He was in some serious pain, though. Would the course be liable for something like this? At least cover his medical bills? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

downlowkey 3,892 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I've had a separated shoulder for about 9 months now. Doctor says only way to heal it is to put it in a sling and rest it. I obviously haven't done that and it hasn't gotten better. Doesn't hurt playing golf strangely. Maybe a little sore afterwards. Definitely hurts playing basketball or lifting weights so I've done little to none of either of those since the diagnosis. Sleeping on it makes for an absolutely awful morning. Figure I'm going to have to rest it this winter. Otherwise I hear surgery could be an option and I don't want that.... I feel your pain quite literally. Around this time last year, I suffered a fractured collarbone, separated AC joint (type 2), torn labrum and rotator cuff. I have experienced some pretty grievous injuries over the years but none of them compared to the discomfort from this shoulder dinger. The pain made me nauseous for 3 weeks after it happened and palliative meds had zero effect...except to cause even more nausea. After 10 months of intensive PT, I can finally sleep on my right side again (in small doses) and joint stability is steadily improving. Mentally prepare yourself for a long road back to normal; it was a couple months before I could even grip a club with both hands. Genuinely thought I might never play golf again. For months I struggled immensely to dress myself; brush my teeth and wipe my a$$ left handed; it was absolutely miserable. I am nowhere near 100% but my steady PT regimen has made a huge difference and I'm playing to my scratch index again. It is difficult to counsel patience but that's the moral of the story here; your body will heal if you give it the opportunity. 1 Quote ______S9-1 Pro D - Matrix Ozik XCON 6 S ______S9-1 Pro 15* - Matrix Ozik XCON 7 S ________3DX 17* - Matrix Ozik Altus Hybrid SG ______ICON Black 4-PW - KBS Tour V S __________588 RTG 49 RTX 52.10 56.12 - DG S400 ______Amazing Grace NYC Tour CS _______'19 TP5X (the preceding have all been gamer approved) "The most important shot in golf is the next one“ - Ben Hogan Link to post Share on other sites
