Shoulder Surgery

I'd like to report that I recent had shoulder surgery and that is why I haven't been on here to report much to you in recent weeks but it's not. I've been experiencing some increasing levels of shoulder soreness, weakness and even outright pain. It is no fun and is now starting to actually affect my way of life. Primarily how I live it, but sleep is being affected so that is a big one. I sought out the advice and opinion of the only medical professionals I know I can bug with this type of thing. Over the phone, no image or video involved they surmised that it could be muscle imbalance or a rotator cuff injury. This concerned me, in fact I only called them because I had that fear myself. I used to be a pitcher when I was a kid and threw a lot of innings in my formative years. I used to play catch with my Dad every night after dinner until my obliques ached. I was worried that it was catching up to me now. But at the same time, I'm still considered a relatively young man and I haven't continuously stressed it in years. There was no inciting incident or event. I was inclined to lean to something ergonomic and chronic rather than acute, which fit the cuff stuff. I had muscle weakness in my abdomen before Christmas that led to back pain. I've been trying to do some exercises to alleviate that and for the most part it has worked great, I'm back to not even thinking about my back. I am thinking we're going down that road with my shoulder now. I'm going to have exercising fully soon if this nonsense keeps up. But the moral of the story is that after a few days of vigourous stretching and exercise the pain is beginning to subside, it could be a thing that re-surfaces throughout my life if there is a tendon strained in there but at least I didn't need surgery at this point and was able to get it under control. Actually the real moral is that you can't diagnose injuries over the phone or by the person experiencing it's description. Glad they aren't real doctors. They were supposed to send me some stretches to do but never did. Good thing I took matters into my own hands, or rather on my own shoulders. Anyways, I'll try not to ghost you so hard between posts.
