Brakloes -> RE: Back and shoulder (October 9, 2007 2:55:56 PM)

Thank you all for your replies I will try to answer all the questions as orderly as possible. The pain with the quick movements is in the shoulder....specifically it feels as if its the lateral aspect of the deltoid. I do not have any poping or catching and I would say that neck movement doesn't effect the pain. When I lay on my back it feels very weak, when placed overhead...Infact If I lay on my back and raise it straight up and over head (towards the floor) I can cause "pain" and "tightness." I did perform my exercises and didn't feel that they were even that challenging....except for the balancing:D They had me do alot of balance and catch a ball or one leg standing while moving exercises....along with the "baseball" throw tubing rotation.
The internal rotation I was refering to was the shoulder.....When boxing the last few inches of a punch include a internal rotation in a "pop" fashion.....I wasn't clear before because I was trying not to be long winded. I can punch a heavy bag no problem...Its when I do conditioning drills such as "reach for the gold". In this drill you punch up over your head for 3 minutes. The hands begin palms towards face and arm extends upward while hand rotates to palm away from the body position at full extension. Agreed with pt being valueable, I noticed that if "adjustments" are going to have effect it is within the first few sessions and certain types of feelings....I wont try to explain the difference[8|]
Ok.....regarding the scapular pain. I do not have pain anymore in that area....although my back always feels "out of alignment" I feel as if tension moves up and down my back....sometimes my lower back has knots and others I have alot of tightness between my shoulder blades. If I bend over I feel a "poping" and adjusting as if things are shifting between my shoulder blades. I did have burning sensations on my left shoulder, which is the one that hurts me originally but there was a year between these feelings and any problems with the shoulder. If I had said the pain was because something was out of alignment I am sorry cause that would not be correct. What I had said was that I "feel" as if maybe something is out of alignment which is changing how "all" my muscles are alignment thus messinging up the mechanics of my body. This would increase the chances of muscular injury. I would think that the chiropractors would have been addressing the neck area, which was supposibly better then normal reagarding the natural curvature of my spine.
Slide into home plate (2 years or more ago)
burning sensation behind shoulder blade and left shoulder
tightness between shoulder blades
Massage and Chiro appointments
burning sensation slowly fades and tightness lesses but doesnt go away....poping and adjusting between shoulder blades when I bend forward and touch toes
start having issues in lowerback.......determine to be slipped disk, ciro fixes within 2 appointments, now just occausionally feel knots in lower back area
Feeling good overall, learned to live with "tightness and poping" between shoulder blades. I was told its just that the ligaments might have been strained when I hurt myself and they need to "tighten" over time again
I begin running and doing light conditioning workouts....feeling good
play football, dive....next day shoulder is very sore and hasnt healed completely in 5 months of very light activity (try to protect it as much as possible)
I have done lots of massage (earned in trade) and did pt exercises under supervision and in own workout...despite them not feeling like the really challenged the area of concern
Sorry this rambled off.....Its just there is so much information that might be a key for one of you to understand my condition. Pain is such a relative thing, my grandfather "hurt" his shoulder when younger, and it was just a minor thing....now we find out he completely tore a rotator and as his major muscle atrophy he is loosing alot of his shoulder motion because they compensated for the lack for stabilizer muscles
