Mmm. My general fitness is very good, but lifting a lot and occasionally running are not conducive at all to mobility. I should probably introduce some proper stretching to my routine, perhaps I'll look for a regular yoga class.
I recommend it. About two years ago, I had crippling pain in my arms and intermittent cramp in my hand (especially the right*). It was diagnosed as degeneration of the vertebra and stenosis (mostly because of adolescent foolishness) and was put on a nerve medication - Gabapentin. Hated it, put on weight, didn’t stop the pain enough, etc. Even had a epidural and it didn’t touch it. I think the amount of pain meds I’ve been on over the years from my back might have had something to do with it.
Started doing yoga and rowing routinely on Fitness+ and it’s helped immensely. Love to be able to work out at home, so it’s win-win. Haven’t taken a Gabapentin in nearly a year.*left-handed though, so settle down.
This could be a great episode. Shady's gonna be all over it.
Saw my Doctor last week for the ultrasound result. There's no tear in the shoulder, but some inflammation. I've been forwarded on to the hospital. Probably looking at steroid injections. Whilst there I asked about prostate stuff what with the whole Chris Hoy story in the news and never having had any sort of exam and being 54 next May. Ended up back there today for the finger up the you know where. So far, so good. Have to wait 4 weeks for the follow up blood test.
Get checked, Gents.CT scan of my head and ear came back clear of anything sinister, which was good news. Doc says the pulsatile tinnitus is obviously lifelong and without cure, so I need to get used to the 'new me'.
If it's gets worse (which I'm presuming it surely will at some point), I'm to get a referral back to the consultant. Bit shit, I guess, but as lifelong conditions go, it's clearly one of the less shit ones.
Similar boat to me. ENT is suggesting an earpiece that matches the pitch of the tinnitus may be my best bet.
Had a painful shoulder for about nine months now. Rotator cuff injury, apparently. Steroid injection was useless but it appears to be getting better on its own now.
I'm in the tinnitus club too. Gets loud as soon as I get tired.
Me too. Sometimes when they do an explosion on TV and show the ringing noise everyone experiences I'm not sure if it's on the TV or me.
Ditto. Can’t be in a room with people talking and music playing as can’t separate the sounds.
See also; being in the same room as tricky talking (shouting).
