Two Smokers injury update update update (27/06)

**Two Smoker** · 27th June 2006, 15:23

Hey Everyone,

Just got back from a nerve conduction test... Good news, looks like I will probably make a full recovery. Whilst I have stretched my brachial plexus quite far, all the nerves are working as are the muscles. Still have some numbness on my inner arm, and some nerve pain. But alot of my strength has returned with the only major problem being external rotation.

Plenty more physio to go but hopefully back at work shortly...

Cheers, Chris

After I dislocated Mikeys shoulder on Saturday night, I've decided that you Chris, are soft.

but a good bastard

Hey Chris are you only doing external rotating exercises with Physio or are you doing some at home etc?.

A good idea may be to get a rubber resistance band from you physiotherapist and keep at the exercises while at home too.

Is that bad innuendo, or am I just bored?

Good to hear TS, here's hoping you'll be back to arse-handing form in no time.

Nope it was a real question. You are thinking of elevation and depression

Good luck with the healing TS

Yep got some of the stretchy band stuff to do exercises at home... Hopefully it will improve over the next few weeks...

Good stuff bro, just keep at it and you'll eventually get the strength back in those rotator cuff muscles.

powerballs.com interesting way to excersise that arm

Good to hear you'll be OK.

With all my injuries (broken arms, knee reconstruuction and broken neck) I've found one of the most important things is not to slack off after finishing the physio. Keep up the exercises and you'll be fine

Thats the story !!! I always came back in a quarter of the time they reckoned ! That was cos I'm a nutter and if the said do twenty of this or that , I did a hundred and as often as i could ! Work at it , it won't take long. G.
