actually posting (original) (raw)
I've been watching this community for ages, but I don't think I've posted before now.
I've been losing weight since last June, mostly by watching my eating habits. I'm primarily using sparkpeople.com to track food and a bit of exercise. Its not the best site, but its free and has an app for my phone.
I attempted to start the 100 push up challenge, to discover that just doing 3 pushups, set off rhomboid (*) spasms in my left shoulder; I have some underlying shoulder issues (which in turn cause other problems), so I finally made the appointment with the local sports medicine doctor / shoulder specialist to get a full evaluation and PT. I'm hopeful that it will help and that it means I can get back to being more physically active. :D
I'm also a bit worried that it won't, and I'll go through the whole cycle of thinking rehab and PT are working again, only to be quickly injured....
won't know if I don't try though...
(*) Best muscle name ever - its a muscle that's between your shoulder blade and your spine. Spasms on it are....annoying.
