Body weight 95.4 on waking.
Been to the Drs today, suspected shoulder impingement. Been referred for an Ultrasound which will take god knows how long to happen.
Feeling really deflated, fed up of being in pain and everyday things being hard (fuck you putting a T Shirt on and fastening my seat belt) hope it picks up soon because by tomorrow I’ll have been off work a full week and I can’t afford to be off anymore so I’ll be going back regardless, which won’t be fun!
Not good news mate, I hope you get the appointment soon.
At the earliest it’ll be a 4-6 week wait, pretty sure I’ll have healed up by then
That’s insane, down here I would get one same day or next day at latest!!
Thats the joys of the British NHS I suppose. People go on about free health care but when something like this happens it takes forever to get sorted!
I had a similar issue 5-6 years ago with my right shoulder, it took atleast 3 months to see a specialist, another 4-6 months from me seeing a specialist to getting an MRI, and then a further 18+ months for a surgery that took around 3 hours, and was discharged the same day 
Not my experience at all, I’ve always been sorted out instantly. Whereabouts are you living?
Yorkshire, and its been like this every time I’ve had an issue! I think the level of service differs up and down the country.
Fair; I grew up in London and all the money gets funneled there I suppose.
Still, could be worse - at least you’re not in the States!
I’ve gone to Implexus Gym in Leeds a couple of times which is a great spot to check out if you’re near there at all.
Haha yea… although If I could spare the cash for a private scan right now I would 
I’d assume it probably does, nobody cares about us northern bumpkins! I’m more Sheffield, not spent much time in Leeds
Rang the Radiology department at the hospital, they’v told me I’ll be waiting roughly 6 weeks for a scan.
Been to the gym tonight, tested the waters a bit.
Did 1 rep on the bench with just the bar, couldn’t get the bar to my chest without pain.
Cant get under a bar to Squat, and my knees are still suffering a bit of tendonitis from last blocks High Bar work when I tried the SSB.
Deadlifts weren’t good either, any weight pulling on my arm doesn’t feel good.
So all in all, I’m in kind of a bust, don’t know what to do with myself! My heads not in a great place, considering dropping out of the Deadlift only comp that I’ve got in 8 weeks, as I really don’t think I’m capable of training for it, and as it stands its just not something that I want to do.
See where my heads at next week.
Damn sounds rough, hope you get it sorted out.
Body weight 94.8 on waking.
Shoulder is chuffin weird, today I woke up and it feels like theres nothing wrong with it. Full ROM, no pain, no noticeable weakness… god knows! Hoping it stays this way and doesn’t go backwards tomorrow!
Whether its better or not I’m going to be pushing to get my scan ASAP, keep trying for cancellations.
Body weight 94.9 on waking.
Shoulder is a little sore today, but no real impact on ROM.
Sounds like any swelling may be coming down. Hope it continues.
I’m still here… I’m still alive!!
Haven’t really been tracking my weight last few days, and I have been to the gym I just haven’t been able to do much so I haven’t bothered logging things!
Going forward I’m pretty much just going to be doing my Deadlift session on either a Friday or a Saturday as was previously planned out, and any other sessions I get in will just be me doing what I can manage.
My shoulder feels pretty much back to normal, and I’ll be trying to get an upper session in tomorrow but I’ll have to see how things fee when I’m in the gym! My knee on the other hand feels pretty crappy… I thought it was just a little tendonitis but I’m starting to think it may be something else, maybe a slight sprain or something.
On the upside, I’ve got my Ultrasound scan booked in for Sept 9th, so thats not too far away!
Soooo, I managed to Bench today!!! Happy times! Worked up slowly from the bar, did 60kg 5x5 and it felt alright, just a little bit of tightness.
Now if my knee would also like to play ball, thay’d be amazing!
glad you were able to bench, lets hope the issue was just a mild daemon possession and now its fked off.
Body weight 95.8 on waking.
Thats the 2nd week where I’ve held close to 96kg body weight, I’ll be dropping down to maintenance for a while before I start to cut off some of the fat. Hopefully I’ve put on a good bit of muscle too, I can’t have gained all 6kg as fat surely
