jordanl Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 I messed up my rotator cuff in high school. Not fun. But the more you push it the longer it takes to heal. But that was from my experiance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ron4blues Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 Rotator cuff injuries are nasty. I was competing on the Can-Am martial arts circuit for a number of years, and I remember a stretch where I had about 4 tournaments in 6 weeks where I had to compete while unable to lift my left arm above my head. Even if you can do something with the pain (2 x 400 mg Advil will work), you'll still have limited mobility. I'd say take it easy so you don't aggravate it. Advil will help with the pain and inflammation, but it won't keep you from injuring it further. If you really have to get your line wet, try side-arm or other low-trajectory casts. An motion that takes your arm above the shoulder is going to be an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schnipster Posted October 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 glad its not my power arm for the two hander. its funny you should say that/ i also had several cuff injuries from some fights i did while living in thailand when i was younger- hurt like a mother but i was young and rebounded fast--bathed in tiger balm as well....but now as i get older and am cmpletelyout of shape every little thing feels like its the end of my mobility Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. Hyper-extend on a punch or put your shoulder and not your hip into it and you're done. Same with baseball pitches and overhead casts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ron4blues Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 I still think we should all book rooms in the Falls one weekend and invade the lower river. Only problem is my stinkin' job: I never know more than 2-3 weeks in advance if I have a weekend off. Makes planning a challenge. A shame too because my 10 weight is just the big gun for that river.
