Living in the mid Atlantic area, our golf season is coming to an end. So now comes the offseason plan:

At 49, I believe your plan needs to match what your body can accomplish. 

Here it is:

Cross fit class 1 x a week

Lift using my body weight and multiple reps using lighter weight 1 x a week

Combo day - exercise utilizing two body pars - for example - working the core and legs

Squash 1 x week - aerobic exercise. 

Current weight - 194  will post weight every week

Yup...First one sent me to a sports medicine guy who sent me to a specialist who did EMG, I got back to the sports medicine guy Tuesday to "read" the EMG report which I know says severe on the right and severe minus on the left. Pain is much more than I realized and I'm taking WAY too many OTC pain meds. I'll go with any recommendations...injections or surgery...except amputation. -Marv

Marv -

You may need a second opinion. Note if you use too many OTC pain meds, it may lead to GI issues.

That sucks Marv,  good luck.  Both hands...how are u going to use the bathroom!!

My winter...I continue taking as many Crossfit classes as I can get too.  Going to buy the Super speed golf program and since I work at an indoor golf place, I'll hit balls and play on the SIM.

My only issue is both shoulders hurt.  Left one the most and it's starting to hurt with golf a little.  I have my physical next month but the Dr. Will just send me to a specialist, my wife will tell at me because of the cost..yada, yada, yada...I'll just live in pain.

LOL! That subject of not doing both at the same time actually has come up, once from a retired nurse friend who said "How will you clean your a...?" Fortunately, I now know surgery will be on the right and injections on the left. My problem is that this started September 28 and the surgery will be November 27, so will be about December 20 before I can swing a club.

My Doc says he is amazed at how stem cell injections have worked on even older knees and shoulders. Apparently we have several local doctors doing it regularly. After the carpal is taken care of, I'm going to look into it for my blown-out knee. Cost might be an issue because insurance/Medicare may not cover it, but still way less than surgery.  Anyway, just a thought to consider for shoulders. Best wishes, -Marv

Hello Typhoon92....what's happening with the shoulders?  With the off season here, it may be a good time to see what might be possible to rehab as much as possible and put off any further problems so you can keep with playing and living with less pain.  Let me know if I can help in any way.

    • Oh man. As you can see above, Manavian mocked me for not realizing they were getting the 130° from BOTH shoulders. Apparently, though, Manavian is also wrong, as Andy said I was lying when I cited what Manavian had written: The next thing Andy says that's both accurate and clearly stated will be the first. I replied to that post with something like: Tell Manavian who said "only counting the abduction/adduction of one shoulder rather than 2." One of the issues with “bad” information is that y’all can’t even get on the same page. You've not shown that Bryson has 130° range of motion in either shoulder separately P1 to P7. I’ve shown the numbers. You’ve name-called and just said “nuh uh” repeatedly. Did you see the AMG IG video? Of course you have. Wrapping your head around the distance the shoulder travels yet, Andy? Andy later commented to explain how he got his range of motion number (apologies to whoever @iacac and @icaca are on Instagram, who are going to be wondering just what in the hell they've gotten themselves into). Oh boy. Adding the numbers in one direction and then adding them again going back is not a "range" of motion. If I can bend my knees 140°, I don't claim to have 280° range of motion because I have two knees nor because I can also extend my knees 140° after bending them. Bryson (with a driver, again — I used his iron swing) abducts about 65° (and bends his elbow a ton) with the driver. Then he adducts 50… and then another 15°… to end up right back where he started. This is exactly the equivalent of saying that I bend my knees 140° and then straighten them, creating a range of 280°. It's so silly I don't even have much of a response. It falls down completely on its own. It doesn't need even a nudge.
    • Can't remember who but some wise guy said "Arms up, body around"..😉. Anywho, been working on pinning my lead arm less and less to my chest in the BS. Decent progress with the arms, need a lot of work and trust for the 'body around' part.
