Just Venting

oldfella · Mar 31, 2008

OK so yesterday (Sun here in OZ) I am in the gym cause one of my F'ing treadmills breaks down. So I am in the process of swapping it out with one I had in the store room. I get the other on out and am putiing the broken one in the store room so I can look at it later. Just about there and as I am pushing this F'ing thing I fell this (sickening) POP and tear in my right shoulder near the front delt. I mean this was an evil sound and feel. I stop doing what I was doing and let out a M@#%er F*$%er. GYm was empty. But what follows is some serious pins and needles at the site of the injury. So I finish putting the F'ing treadmill away, go and get the ice pack out of the freezer and put it on my shoulder while I sit and read some cool shit here at Promuscle. Waiting for the enevitable........pain.........you bet your ass!!! So all night on and off with ice, took some pain killers I had left over from my broken toe so I could sllep. Got about 3 hours off sleep, all the while tossing and turning thinking, that's it, no more lifting, they're gonna have to amputate.

Wake up early as usual and OMG the pain was incredible. SO I shower and rest a while, waited to go to the hospital. Emergency room is full, so I wait, 3 and 1/2 hours I wait, only to have one of the staf come out and say they were 2 hours behind. By now I was ready to kill someone, so I politely asked (with pain contorted face) if there was any way possible to speed this up! She looks at me and asks, "Are you in Pain"?........I wanted to strangle her, but Calmly I said yes maam, very much so! SO another 10 minutes and my name is called.

Now we're talking, I'm finally going to get to the bottom of my problem, so I thought. SO I go into the consulting room and am greeted by this absolutely stunning looking woman with stethescope strung around her neck, I'm thinking (WOW, things are looking up) and yep she is a 4th year med student, well at this stage ask me if I cared, my shoulder instantly felt better, well she was a welcome distraction from the pain. I kid you not she was a vision and had the best rump I have ever seen. OH back to my problem, she asks me some questions and I explain my take on things, knowing a bit about this stuff I give her my take. She then says she is going to consult with one of the physicians on staff and be right back.

About 3 minutes passes and she walks back in with, wait for it, another absolutely gorgeous female doctor, well guys it was not the end of the world after all and between the two of these stunning looking women, do you think my shoulder hurt......shit no, well it did but I didn't care any more. Two of the best looking females let alone dr's I have ever seen. I did pinch myself to make sure it wasn't a dream brought on by the pain meds the night before!!! LOL.

In the end I have come real damn close to pulling the top end of the biceps clean off the bone and strained my rotator cuff big time. So it will be leg training full time for a few weeks until I can get back to upper body. But the smiles and comments from these two dr's was well worth the wait.

I'm still pissed off about being injured though!!!!

thanks sweetie. Goes with the territory I'm afraid. But yes the docs were worth the visit

MAINEVENT · Mar 31, 2008

Sorry to hear about this oldfella. Especially when your training and diet are going so well. It may take a little longer than 2-3 weeks but be patient and dont push it.

Soooooo, did you get pics of the Dr's? LOL, you know I had to ask!

Do they accept US insurance! Hope you get to feeling better big guy. BTW, Jesus, how old are you to be falling apart already!

EVERLAST · Mar 31, 2008

OLDFELLA,

Oldfellow,

Man, I know how you feel and I am sorry for your setbacks. I ended up in a coma for 23 months from 95-97, after 7 years of rehabbing atrophied muscles, ligaments and tendons I was granted permission from my Dr. to start lifting heavy once again. From 2005 up to last month I have had 2 muscles torn one tendon snap and many ligaments strained. Every single setback just pisses me off to know end. To get through each set back I just remember how far I have come and how bad I want to get back to where I was in 94.

Now every set back will give me hope that I will have a couple of Dr.'s like yours.

thebrick · Mar 31, 2008

Oh no!

I hate to hear this. Damn, damn, and double damn! Wasn't there an easier way to see these two bombshells?

Seriously, I do hate this for you, OF. Take care of that and don't rush it before you hit it again. I do know how you feel though as I have had my share of injuries as you know... and I always got pissed off too.

Sassy · Mar 31, 2008

I'm sorry to hear about your injury... it just sucks when you do something like that. You know you did it them minute you made the move, but there is no way to take it back. I stayed injured most of last year, so I can relate.... except my doctor wasn't any where near being hot.

Take it easy and let it fully recover!

mrsoul · Apr 1, 2008

damn of, i am sorry to hear about your injury. i would crack some j0kes but i really feel bad for you.

Right thats it, Im moving to Aussy. My doctor is hairy and smells

oldfella · Apr 1, 2008

To all my bro's and sis' here, Thank you for you support, oh except HOTTT, boy you are in big DOO DOO now, like everlast said, respect your elders, especially when they are bigger than you!! LOL.

Hey in this game you have to expect some thing like this once in a while, at least the one doc said, DAMN those are some big biceps, SO of course that instantly made it all better!! LMAO at some of the reponses here,

Bluto, you seriously need to find a new doctor bro! Hairy and smells.......shit that sucks.

Everlast, yes these two were just delicious..............could not find any faults with them, well maybe one, neither one of them is attached to me!!!

Sass, yes it was a feeling that we all know too well, that POP and then feeling sick to your stomach cause you know it wasn't good. Hope you are on the way to being better honey!

Brick, Yes the injuries are a pain, in more ways than one. But we do heal and hopefully grow wiser for next time, but the Docs were def worth the visit to hospital.

And listen , crack all the jokes you like, I love a good laugh even at my own expense, it's all good and thank you all so much.

Damn, Makes my little whinge here kind of insignificant after reading this, good for you bro, that is exactly the kind of attitude and mindset needed here. I take my hat off to you. Real courage right there. I wish you all the best!

marooned · Apr 1, 2008

Sorry to hear this man. I do have a remedy in mind though. Take two hot Doctors and call me in the morning! Ha Ha

Seriously, you give a lot to this board and all the members here. I enjoy your posts and understand your frustration. About 6 wks ago I am doing leg presses and hear what sounds like my foot slipping on the skid paper on the foot platform. Training partner says man did you hear that? Yeah I heard it and like you did I waited for it, the pain. No pain until the next day and then no quad training for the last 6 wks. I tore a little of the Patela Tendon off the lower leg bone. I finally get to start training quads again next week and CAN'T WAIT! My hamstrings paid the price for this too as they have been very much focused on during leg day.

So, don't let it get you down those "big biceps" aren't going away any time soon.

bigshadow · Apr 1, 2008

Man Oldfella! That sounds like quite a day. Shit. I've been there with the shoulder thing...and wouldn't even want to imagine tearing that bicep tendon. Just thank your lucky stars!

I remember the pain I felt when I tore my pec... OUCH!!!!! "GIVE ME PAIN PILLS RIGHT NOW DAMNIT!!!" lol... that stuff's no fun and one year of recovery is no fun either... so just take it easy on that stressed tendon and joint.

Now these doctors...couldn't you have at least got us a cell phone pic?

Thought about that, but I don't own a cell phone, No need for one. I tell people if you can't reach me at the gym, you didn't try!! LOL thanks for your thoughts, Much appreciated.

Marrooned.....yes it is just one of those things. I would have been happier if it had happened training though. I almost expect that! Hope the patella tendon heals good for you bro and thank you for your words.

JETHRO TULL · Apr 2, 2008

Sucks to be injured!

I wouldn't chalk it up to being older though. I tore my right biceps when I was 22. I also have two girls in my U.S. history class who are both 16 and each just had anterior cruciate ligaments repaired. Shit happens.

Glad you got a few postitive comments from good looking women. That always makes a man feel great.
