So. MRI and Doctor say I have what is called a SLAP tear in my shoulder, but do not need surgery - ......yet. I had to go home and google SLAP tear to really get a grasp of it, and it makes sense.
Treatment for now is physical therapy and anti-inflammatories. VA always takes the cheap route first. If those don't work, then possibly a cortisone shot, and last option is surgery.
Not recommended to do weightlifting for a while, which really sucks.
Ran today - 3.1 miles, very slow pace, it was all about not stopping or walking........time was 31:18.
Lower back is better, just jarred it & twisted it when I fell. Continued stretching & massage really helped it alot.
