Shoulder/Back pain

Post by syntheticocean »

Thursday the 4th I had a dirtbike accident in which I slid on right shoulder, forward for about 10 feet. I went to the doctor Monday the 8th and he didn't even look at the shoulder. He had me hold me hands out in front of me while he pushed in various directions and then proceeded to tell me that I had strained rotator cuff. He prescribed Prednisone for 7 days and it helped. I decided to go back to the gym last night after not going since the injury. I couldn't lift 5 lbs above head without excrutiating pain.

This injury has gotten me so depressed because I'm pretty sure girlfriend is always looking at guys who are in better shape than me. I know without a doubt that she loves me, but whenever we go to the gym, or the beach I catch her eyeballing guys.

So after I noticed her doing that I decided to get serious about lifting in hopes that if I got into shape she would eyeball me for once.

Do you guys have any suggestions on how to speed up recovery so I can get back to the gym sooner? :(

Don’t stress about your girlfriend dude that’s stupid. There is always going to be someone bigger then you unless your jay cutler. Who cares if she looks I am sure you check out other broads on the beach to. That’s all normal. Any girl is going to look at a ripped guy on the beach even if you’re just as big. Just like you cant help but check out the hot chicks don’t be so insecure probably makes it even worse.

Jealously works in the opposite way you want it to remember that.

Sucks about your shoulder bro. Not the best one to give you an answer with that but I am sure someone can. Just be prepared it could take a long time to heal

I know it's stupid to stress about the girlfriend, but that doesn't mean I can help it.

Just so you know I would normally remove posts like that, but as you commented on it, I'll let you know that that person was claiming to be from Hawaii in their profile, but posted from an Indian network, so they were probably spamming.

If such a post of type happens again, be careful about accessing it, as they could use stat countes to log things like your I.P. operating system, web browser, country of origin etc etc, and misuse the info for spamming purposes.

Just saying so you know for next time :).

Girls look at guys… girls look at girls… it doesn’t matter... girls just look in general! :P

Instead of worrying about your girlfriend… (If she loves you.. You gotta trust her!)
Use that energy to get a good doctor’s opinion and make sure your Shoulder/Back pain heals. Good Luck! :D
