Progress report
Not to dwell unduly on my own problems, but so far I'm very lucky with this frozen shoulder/adhesive capsulitis. After just one day with the (admittedly painful) exercises, the movement of my arm is greatly increased, and the nature of pain has changed to severe soreness on movement instead of an inability to move. It feels as if an abcess has broken, and while my overall body feels toxic and I'm tired, I'm cautiously optimistic that I'm on top of this. Being in good shape and diagnosing it early are, I think, to my advantage. I doubt it will take me the long months it's supposed to take to recover. The pushups (which I'd discontinued for a week) went OK. But the chinups! Extreme pain in the left shoulder! ! So I called the physical therapist who told me to lay off the chinups for a while. (I had already done them in two sets of 15 and one set of 30, but I think I was overreaching. Obsessive-compulsive overexcerise is not in my interest right now, so I am going to have to listen to my body -- and the docs -- for awhile and take it slowly. MORE: And here are the exercises I have to do for the frozen shoulder (repeated three times a day): (Now that I've scanned the sheet and cropped it into individually enlarged images, it'll be easy to use this blog as a reference, and I won't have to worry about losing the piece of paper.) posted by Eric on 03.08.06 at 08:56 PM |
