My personal health has deteriorated, first my rotator cuff and then the shoulder joint itself (makes putting on a bra to hold the girls up rather hard) its been one long battle trying to get it fixed. Surgeon kept telling me nothing was wrong and I can blame his lack of procedure on that for not doing an MRI with contrast.
Ultrasound showed torn cuff and not normal labrum (labral tear) I lost 90% of the strength in my left arm, I've managed to get back about 30% of it recently but the fight is tiring me out. Im running out of money and jobs are not plentiful.
I quit the gym because the injuries started there, gain all the weight back and I am currently trying to lose it by riding my butt thin, bought a Trek mountain bike for cross country riding and havent looked back at a gym for any reason. People think Mtn biking is really hard and requires muscle to do well so others keep wondering how I can do that but not able to lift 10lbs overhead with my left arm, which is easy to explain I'm not picking the bike up at all, just shifting my body weight around.
I have Physical Therapy twice a week and that's been going on since April '12 except for a 4 week period where things went to hell really fast. 4 weeks ago I contracted strep throat I had that beat in about 6 days but continued the meds, exactly 2 weeks later, I got to visit the ER for intestinal bleeding which was caused by a contamination of gluten because I have the Celiacs bit (first time period pads came in handy) keeping me away from everything i enjoy doing.
Get to dress up in full view of public when riding my bike, like tonite was UA womens Coldgear tights, capris, ladies cold weather jacket its got thumb holes in the sleeves :) and my Fiona bra with a cami underneath, followed by 5lb backpack, helmet, gloves & knee/shin armor. I even got chased by a dog, the only thing I figure is he smelled the Axe for her body spray I used.
