I propose a thread honoring old age in which each person lists their current physical ailments and general excuses that prevent them from beating people like Paul Smith and Rich Saeger.
I will lead with a growing list of my own.
1. Shoulder pain
2. Heart palpatations
3. High cholesterol
4. Left hip stress fracture
5. Lower back pain (from shoveling snow!)
6. Wife and 3 kids.
Perhaps we can give an award to the winner and the biggest whiner at the end of this thread.

My insurance isn't an issue, but he may not have known it. He seemed tentative to order the MRI. He only mentioned the shots no other therapy. I did see a PT as part of the referral; she believes its a neck injury from the fall. She said that a C4or5 neck injury manifests in the upper arm. She had me use a rolled up towel under my neck while sleeping. That did lessen the pain in my lower arm a hand. I guess I go back to that for now.
I did do some searching and it seems the only warm up is swimming EZ. what stretches do you do?
What Rotator Cuff exercises? I need help! Thanx!

Go back on this thread to posts #56 and #59. Those posts list all the shoulder injury threads. On those threads, RC exercises are discussed and listed. Stretches are probably shown too. Go check them out. No swimming without doing your RC stuff first!
A neck roll should help. I can't sleep with mine though. LOL. But, you know, a labrum issue can refer pain to the neck too. Refered or sclerotogenous pain is a complex issue. Pain travels in weird and unexpected ways. That's why an arthrogram is sometimes necessary, to show the real location of the injury.
I'm glad you have good insurance! You tri guys need it.
