L Shoulder, Rotator Cuff injury
2008-05-12 – 2008-06-02
Grade: 3
shoulder really achy to the point of nausea - better about half way through the day and then starts tightening up again at night. 5/16 - Dr. McCoy - says I strained my rotator cuff tendon and have slight case of bursitis in the joint - has given me cortizone pills to take for the next 2 days, plus stretches and script for PT for 2-4 weeks
Physical Therapy twice a week for 3 weeks. Cortisone pills for the bursitis. Kayaking in the Desert Winds race certainly caused it to flair up. Need to continue rolling out my shoulder blades and keep the rest of the back muscles loosened up and also strengthen them. Work back up to high mileage in the kayak.
