crisj 2 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Shoulder problems here, mainly from slowpitch i think. All i know is my shoulder cracks and feels like pop rocks in there lol.

Rickp 19,426 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Got the usual “old fart†stuff. Right knee needs replacement, left knee in a few years. Right hip replacement sometime when pain gets too much. I'm in no rush for any operation, seen too many go bad. Left shoulder has bone spur problems, just got finished with PT which works pretty good. Last year came down with some sort of bacterial infection which was misdiagnosed and the medication dam near killed me. I'm still on some meds because the infection likes to return. Only problem with the meds is they kick my butt and I fall asleep easily. If I play a four hour round I need a nap immediately. After a short nap I'm OK for a while. It's a PIA but better than it's been for the past year. BTW can't drive for a while as I get drowsy quickly.

bluesmandan76 312 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Nursing a rotator cuff (left arm) for the last week and a half here. An old injury from 20 years ago that keeps resurfacing... pt and rest. Short game and putting work only. But i have a match this Saturday... not quite ready but i think i can swing mostly right arm and get through it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rusty1885 1,332 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I don't have a lot of golf injuries. When I started I did a lot of rushing to the course and ran to the first tee and spasm my back a couple of times. That's when I was young and thanks to that I take really good care of my back. When I stopped playing back in 2003, I started riding mountain bike, crashed and fell a few times no biggie. It's when I got better and start riding tougher trails when I start acquiring more pages on my medical chart. One of the night ride I was adjusting my head light and missed the bend hit the knee height horse gate and did the Superman flew 10 feet off the bike thank god I landed on my back with the hydration pack on. I was only off the bike for 7 months. My first of many major injury was a 20 mph drift thru loose rocky corner and the tires caught traction and highside the bike threw me off the bike, that one hurt a bit. I had ribs, elbow and knee injury and a dining room full of reservations that evening which was not as bad as a few days later. My old instructor Tara Llanes crashed in a race, it was somewhat a routine crash. That injury paralyzed her from the waist down for life. Half way thru my wife's pregnancy I stopped riding most of my favorite trails and when my daughter was born I pretty much only stick with simple trails only, now Golf just consumes most of my “free†time. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shankster 24,602 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 So, apparently I heal like a super hero. Got the clearance to swing the clubs... Did a few chips yesterday, still got it. Haven't hit a full swing yet. Left arm/shoulder is still a bit weak. Doesn't look like I'll need surgery!... yet. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dadivots 336 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 My Friend was diagnosed with MS over 5 years ago. She changed her diet completely and takes no medicines and lives a perfectly normal life. Foods and the chemicals in them make our bodies act in strange ways, if it is indeed MS, which I hope it isn't, I can certainly put you in touch to see if she can help you in any way possible. She loves to help. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk Yep. Being one who's been all but crippled Ive spent many 1000's of hours looking at fixes and cures and alternate remedies rather than be cut up and upon. Alot of chaff there too but amazing results can be found given the lack there of with local AMA stooge. Diet, or the diet we get to buy at the local boxed chemical outlet called the grocery store keepd the MD's in business. Period. And all to many of them know it, while the other half are to stupid to get it from their purch, and ride the gravy train with out a mention of getting off most of the poison I can assure you.

Rusty1885 1,332 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Some time 2014 or 2015 I played a round at my club, hit one under a tree caught a protruding root just below the surface not visible (if it make sense). Took a full swing and bang, talking about it now, I can still feel the sharp pain running up my forearms. I was out for a few months. I remember the next morning I couldn't open my car door. Now I don't hit any more shots under or near any trees, period. It slips my mind from time to time but if I remember I would move the ball. Take my medicine hit the shots like I would under the tree and move on. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
