tearing up PLO, up about 5 buyins this week which is good considering how little a get to play with 2 jobs and my workouts.
ARM UPDATE 2009.
So the doc called and explained what was wrong, which confused me b/c i didn't speak his language (the language of doctor). Basically, to my understanding he said..."We might need to go in there and clean some stuff up (scar tissue, etc))", then he said "but there isn't a tear in the labrum", and then said "continue everything like you normally do" wtf? so i need surgery, then nothings torn, then everything is fine?!?! but i gave the voicemail to my physical therapist and he said that what all the doctor lingo meant was that i actually have a small flare in my rotator cuff. So a small tear in the cuff...50/50 on whether i need surgery or not. My appointment with the surgeon is tomorrow at 8am. I'm set on not having surgery, so we'll see if he can convince me to have it, but to my understanding, if you take 50 MLB pitchers, 20 of them will have the same thing i have, a small tear in the rotator cuff, but as long as there is no pain, there is no need to fix it.
so go me.
 we'll get the official update tomorrow, until then peace, gl, ttyl.

I think that's dependent on which rotator cuff muscle you tore (there are 4). They're all important in stabilizing the shoulder (esp during ballistic activities). You have 2 external rotators which decelerate after a pitch, 1 abductor, and 1 internal rotator (functions a lot like your pec minor). I'm assuming you tore it slightly off the bone is the thought? How long do you have before you're supposed to start pitching for someone (college, right)? |
