[unimpressed]Over the years, with all the Archery and FLy Fishing, both my shoulders went bad.
In addition, I was stuck with "Frozen Shoulders" after the Acromioplasty's.
So I went through all that Therapy and those exercizes but nothing was doing any signifigant improvment.
Finally, the only thing the Doc and the Therapist aggreed on was going swimming,
In actual tests, swimming seemed to be the right answer.
The Shoulders did not limber up completly.
But the nagging pain went away. Those sudden pains stopped as well. The ones that wake you up out of a deep sleep.
Additionally, a bunch of other arithritic pains in other parts of my (Back and knees) body went away.
My swimming carreer was humorus at best.
Anything you do repetedly is boring. So I'd race with somebody.
Thrashing around in the pool was fun that way.
When I first jumped in that pool I couldn't swim half a lap.
In a month I was doing Ten laps. (I mighta been a contendah)
The other thing I learned from those experiences was that a "Massage" therapist was more functional than a "Physical" thereapist.
I quit taking all the pain killers on a normal basis too.
I allowed myself one or two, Percocets or Hydrocodones, in conjunction with a couple of extra thrength Tylanol's, on an evening when I had nothing going the next day.
I'd lay back and enjoy all the Hyperactivity and dreams going through my drug crazed brain.
Laying in bed was not good. Get up when you wake up.
I agree with the Fly casting suggestion as well.
Your arm gets quite a workout that way. Without hurting anything.
You can vary the stroke and the effort and not get bored to death.
I did it with both arms.
It's really entertaining when you have a Cat trying to catch the end of your line.
Always remember this about exercizing. I learned it from the CardioVascular exercizers.
Do a two minit warmup. (never stretch cold. Always warm up)
Stretch the scheduled stretches. should take about two minits.
Do your scheduled exercizes (should take about 30 minits)
Do the Cooldown walk on the treadmill for two minits
Do the stretching exercizes again.
That's the correct way to do it when you are in the waning years of your athletic lifetime.
Five years later I've no pain in my shoulders. Still some limit to the movments but the pain and the Tiredness feeling finally went away.
