Hey guys, I got a question. Thanks for listening.
I went to the doc for my shoulder on 1/12. I got a copy of what the doc said, and we took some x-rays, and the doc said: "X-rays taken today in our office including 2 views of each shoulder including an AP and outlet view shows a type 2 acromion on both shoulders. The a.c. joints are slightly widened buyt i don't see any lytic lesions."
my left shoulder hurts a bit more than my right, as I got it in both shoulders.
So the plan for me as of right now is either cortisone injection (which i want to not go for), or just wait for it to heal, which i plan on doing. He recommend I take 6 weeks off of lifting which I plan to do. I also can't take NSAIDS because of a stomach issue.
I also got some questions, but don't want to pay a lot just for a few questions, so hopefully you guys can help me out.
First, has anyone had a similar injury like mine? How long did it take to heal I understand it take everyone a different amount of time.
Would it be beneficial to ice or heat my shoulders?
Should I perform stretches while it still hurts? Should I wait a few weeks before doing stretches?
Thanks again!!
