Light workouts

by: Sheila - September 19th, 2008

My surgery is scheduled for Oct, 6th. Heard a saying that it's not if, it's when and my when is now. Can't lift my arm laterally or above my head so my workouts have been light. The pain radiates down my arm and into my wrist so I have been using a spray called muscle mist and it works great. I was hoping that I would get better without surgery, but I tore it about 4 weeks out from my last national show, in July, and I'm still in pain.

The doctor said I should be able to lift again about 3 months after surgery.
