Went to the Orthopaedist yesterday to get my shoulder checked out (It had been bothering me for almost a month and interfering with my lifting), got a Cortisone shot and not even 24 hours later my shoulder feels brand new! Did some light lifting today and my shoulder mobilitiy is better than before the shot and felt great.

The change there is the lack of pain - which means that whatever was bothering you is probably NOT fixed, just masked. Tread carefully with the cortisone.

I have bicep tendonitis and bursitis which cortisone shots apparently sometimes help fix, but yeah I'm going to take it easy. Rather take it slow now and avoid future issues.

Life is too short to be in pain all the time. But if you're in pain all the time, getting to the underlying issue is way better than addressing the pain specifically.

Good luck. Tendonitis is something I'm familiar with. Ugh.

Here's hoping it helps, Azathmaster.

Went for a swim last night and managed 1.85 k in the hour, which is almost back to normal. I'd have probably done the full 2 klicks, but at the 1.5 mark I went back to "moderate" lane to do some elbow-specific stuff (only flutter with outstretched arms + back stroke on the way back), which is obviously much slower than my "power" routine of 100m breast + 400m front crawl.

In the end even tried butterfly and got some twinging in the elbow and arm (obviously: high impact hits), but nothing long-lasting.

Looking forward to starting intense physio next week and finally fixing the issue.

I passed my securities exams!!!!!! Omg. These were the hardest tests I have taken... Definitely humbling as studied my butt off. I melted a part of my brain studying for it..

I really lucked out in starting to believe, as I dare say it my new job looks fun... Kinda hesitant to say.. Don't wanna jinx it. Amazing company.

Got cleared to play for playoffs, provided I'm not "too crazy" !

Also, my passive ROM for the elbow is back to normal, which means that the ossification of the elbow is likely gone.

Still need to work on getting the active extension back (meaning when no one is bending my arm over their knee to make it straight), but for that I'll have Physio coverage + more exercises. So all in all, good news.

Also who asks questions like that!!.... -but- it's been 10 year since a true academic setting for me. I will admit a little nervous originally applied for this job here and was offered a different job altogether. Now I Have about a year of training in front of me. I got lucky as most were recruited out of state,etc.

I hope the celebration is still going.

I'm happy as due to a combination of junk food, takeaway and eating out I haven't had to cook since Thursday. My life is very dull for this to be so pleasurable I know. And technically I love cooking.
