Subject: RE: MIke Danko's Group-openAndrew...congrats on finishing your first triathlon! That rocks! They definately are addictive and it's funny how we get hooked on putting our bodies through all that! It's just like a 'runner's high'...during my first marathon I kept thinking to myself...'why in the hell did I pay money to put myself through this pain?'. And then after it was over, I couldn't wait to do another!
I went to the Orthopedic MD today. He diagnosed me with 'impingement sydrome' in my right shoulder. He thinks the inflammation in my shoulder is causing this and told me to take anti-inflammatories around the clock and order physical therapy for me. My range of motion is improving, I just cannot lift my right arm above my head without extreme pain. He said to not even attempt swimming for a few weeks. This concerns me as I am training for my half. I am still able to bike (well I've only been riding the trainer ) and run. So...hopefully I'll be ok.
Hope everyone had a great weekend!
