RC Injury progress report
Since my RC (rotator cuff) injury 3 months ago Ive recovered to maybe 70% in strength in chest and 85% in back .Shoulder strength is about the same as chest with discomfort in my lifts and after my workouts. My arm strength has increased from about 60% from the time of injury to about 85% in biceps and about 90% in triceps .Forearms are at 95% back in strength.Leggs although not affected by the injury I took extra time off from time to time to heal and my lifts also dropped.My strength in leggs and calves are now about 90% recovered.
Im pleased with this progress but very frustarted to have to go thru this at my age as recovery is taking longer with more discomfort then previous RC injuries in the past.The tear had in my right shoulder was loud enough for me to hear as though I was taking a piece of paper and tearing it about 2 inches down.There was 2 separate tears n the right shoulder.My left shoulder had been tender for awhile before the injury to my right shoulder .Ive been using heat treatments and elevating my shoulder when on PC or sleeping keeping it from hanging down to my side.When needed I will take an Aleve to releive severe pain from time to time.
