Question
Dear doctor:
An injury occured on my left rotator cuff a couple years ago when im out on the driving range hitting golf balls. I hit a lot of balls on that day and it was right after a heavy weight lifting workout. The next day i cant lift my arm and felt pain right in the armpit area. After 3 years the pain would come back when im careless and hit too many balls or swing the club too hard.

I try to do strength training 3 session a week but everytime i finished the 2nd day, the rotator cuff and lat muscle would not heal fast enough for the final day workout because of soreness, and i would wait a few more days and sometimes weeks for the soreness to completely go away. The more i procrastinate on working out the weaker the muscle get and the weaker the muscle the more prone for injury. Its just a never ending process for me this past few years.

Any suggestions?  
Thank you

Hi there,

I'm sorry, but I'm not a doctor. I'm not sure where you got that impression, but my expertise is derived from my personal experience and that of the many people I've talked with over the extent of several years. You need to visit your doctor to have these questions answered. Good luck!

Sincerely,

Celeste
