I'd been taking OTC pain meds (ibuprofen) because my shoulder has been hurting for almost a week now, just from gym stuff. And I'd text my "sponsor" when I would just so I made sure I didn't overdo it.
Didn't take any today because it felt fine. Went to the gym, thinking I could lift really heavy. Now it hurts even worse.
Trying to keep myself within my limits of not taking more pills but I just don't have an off switch that tells me when to stop.
Stop trying to lift heavy shït when your shoulder is messed up. Shoulders can take a long time to heal. Get yourself a TENS unit and baby that thing!
I'll be your off switch.
I agree with Taylor. I learned the hard way and tore my rotator cuff.You may want to get a medical opinion so you don’t seriously injure yourself. A tens machine works wonders. Just keep moving forward.
My addiction is alive and well. 15 years off of drinking and drugs. But I’m an addict! Training super hard daily, running 10 miles a day. Tons of sugar. Or s🤩x 6 times daily. Until I seriously did the steps and processed decades of toxicity, then I balanced out.
New studies show lifting less weight w more reps is just as effective as lifting heavy. FYI.
Let the shoulder heal
