Shoulder Trivia

 Here's some stuff I've found talking to docs and googling since my MRI showed a thin spot in my rotator cuff.

1. 40% of cadavers over the age of 60 were found to have a full or partial rotary cuff tear

2. Even mild shoulder pain can indicate big problems - get an MRI

3. After 40, it can take 10-12 months for the rotator cuff muscles to catch up in development to the external deltoid and pectoral muscles.

4. Rotator cuff rotational exercises must never use more than 1 lb. of weight.

5. Rotator cuff tears can be totally painless.

All the Best,

Dave

Well dang, Dave ..  if you didn't go through all those fancy yoga/Pilates stretches and exercises and stuff, maybe that chit wouldn't happen to ya!                


   btw, great new Avatar ..  you're going with the Samurai look?    
 

Nah, Batswingsman it was probably my working as a carpenter to get through college and then the 8 hours a week in the water while learning to swim. That's one thing that is still excellent - range of motion.

Thanks, not sure if it makes me look older or better or both or neither?

Best Wishes,

Dave
