Fucking scammer!!!!!!!!

[georgie24]

shit 3 months of intense physical therapy for my shoulders @ 80.00 per visit 3x a week!!!
(i wanted to be back in the gym bad so i went more often)

im back to square one!! i havent been to the gym in 3 weeks, it seems like all the doctor did was massage my wallet because the pinching pain is still in both fucking shoulders!!!

i feel like dropping a 45 pound plate on his neck

heres what my therapy looked like on most days

1. heat with stim
2. hand bike
3. doc manipulated shoulders via massge
4. id do exsersises for shoulders
5. deep freeze with stim to wrap up session

i never benched pressed or did military presses since seeing the doctor the pain just came back on its own

 

[georgie24]

[georgie24]

just go lift weights. it's gonna take time to figure out what you can do and what you can't. i've got a shitload of physical problems but i found a way around it. experiment a lot and try to figure out a pain free workout.

 

[PuraVida]

Go see a orthopedic surgeon. A good sports med doc. Like the one that repair football players shoulder and knees.

I had torn an ACL and I went to a regular orthopedic, fucking asshole just ignored it and called it a sprain. didnt even order an mri. Two year passed and I still couldnt run. Everytime I tried I felt my fucking knee coming apart. Went back to him and he jsut kept telling me to take it easy.

Finally got fead up with his dumb ass and went to see a sports medicine doc. He grabed my leg and did some wiered manuever, my knee moved in like 3 different direction and he just told me straight out, "You have a completely torn ACL and maybe mcl, when do you want ot schedule surgery."

Got it fixed within a week and 6 months later I was jogging without having my knee falling apart.


If you in the miami area I recomend, DR. Uribe from Doctors Hospital. He did meand he has operated on Mcgahee and I believe Culpepers knee.

 

[georgie24]

everything i do hurts as it radiates into my shoulder blades on my upper back, i seriously cant do shit without pain, just legs

 

[odoyal rulez]

That sucks bro...seriously..hope you get it fixed..i know not lifting has to be driving you apeshit

I feel your pain bud. I spent 3 months trying to rehab a bad back at chiro and P/T, quit training legs per their advice, etc. The first time I put a barbel on my back, I was fucked.

I started doing my own research and found ART, or active release technique. I had bad shoulders as well, and he worked on those as well as my back. I saw him a total of 6 times up front, and have been twice over the last 5 months as maitinence.

Both my dead and squat are at an all time high, and my shoulders feel 70% better. Google it see what you think, I hope it works out for ya.

some doctors are lazy & unprofessional. they're not going to be concerned with the fact that you cannot maintain your physique. so, do the leg work and find someone that will listen.

 

[mikey007]

I know your gonna find this hard to believe, but I was having some severe pain in my mid back about a year ago and the Drs. couldnt figure out what the problem was either. I mean it hurt so bad I couldnt even sleep. Well i went back to my family Dr. after the physical therapy and adjustments didnt work. My Doc has me lir down to do a exam he pushes on my upper stomach and I winced a little, he ake me if that hurt, I said well you pushed kinda hard, he says not that hard. So he tells me he thinks Im having acid reflux! I think to myself, here goes some more pill pushing crap. But I kid you not after about 3 days of taking Nexium the pain was totally gone! He explained to me that when the acid was backing up it was causing this cluster of nerve endings to get enflamed and was causing this back ache. I am not saying that your shoulders are due to acid reflux but hey I would have never guessed that my back pain was due to it either.

What did the MRI show? Did they give you one? They will try to avoid it if they can it seems.

 

[georgie24]

NO MRI, just xrays and multiple vists

 

[al420]

Take the ART advice and run w/ it. It is like magic, and prevents a lot of surgeons from the further lining of thier pockets

 

[georgie24]

yep did the ART route as suggested here on this board, no luck


btw was extremley painful!!!

 

[H_T_]

can you stretch?

 

[MTS]

sorry to hear about your luck, I dont believe most doctors and especially chiropractors know what they are doing or are money hungry. Might try to look at they way you are sleeping and if you are tossing alot at night. You can usually tell if you wake up in odd positions or are still tired. After that i would look for a cause, maybe diet, maybe caffine.

I know i had some tightness and pain in my shoulder on my upper back, from sleeping on my arm.

 

[georgie24]

yes orthro told me i had no problems that i just needed to stretch, i feel like dropping a weight on his neck too ( 200.00 visit!!!) that was 3 years ago tho

 

[doneritebob]

I had a torn rotator cuff. Could not sleep and lifted with only light weight.
X-ray did not show it. X-ray does not show the soft tissue.

Had to get and MRI to see the tear.

Had surgery and was lifting 3 months later.
Shoulder is great. Worth the 3 mo. off, even though I was pissed I could not lift.

 

[georgie24]

my pain is lateral = both shoulders and both shoulder blades

 

[Cauliflower Ear]

NO MRI, just xrays and multiple vists

for the shoulder you gotta get an MRI...my dad does them on shoulders...they inject you with ink and that way they can see exactly what is torn

 

[doneritebob]

Maybe not rotator unless you tore both,

I have a bad lower disk.
Use to go to chiropractor.

I bought an inversion table, (about $250).
It stretches out my spine and works better than anything. Do not go to a chiropractor any more.

Just a thought, maybe pinching a nerve.

Some gyms have inversion boots.

 

[georgie24]

sounds good, an MRI is what ill get ASAP!!!!!

 

[wags8]

Georgie you've got to get the MRI. I didn't and paid dearly for it. Xrays didn't show a partial tear in rotator cuff, so I got a cortisone shot and lifted all winter on a cycle. Felt great, went out to softball practice and hit the farthest shot of my life. I actually heard the rip as I completely severed the supraspinatus whatchamacallit. Then I got the MRI which also showed numerous tears and spurs. The surgery left me with a 12" scar from collarbone tip ( which they cut off ) to my bicep and 5 scope holes. This was last April and I was back playing by August, hitting not throwing. Now it's stronger than the other one. A little help from my friend tren, of course.

 

[georgie24]

sounds good bro, i dont want cortizone shot because i know its temp fix

 

[jeepboi]

Chiropractors do WONDERS

 

[peejae]

yeah docs suck i dislocated my shoulder doing skullcrushers. i went to the doc and they took xrays found nothing told me take it easy. my shoulder just kept popping in and out on its own. i told the doc this isnt right i couldnt even lift a fu**en can of soda without it coming out.he said its ok took like several xrays over 3 months even accused me of faking it said he saw nothing. went to a diff doc got an mri BAM torn labrium. got surgery back in the gym working it out after 3 months good to go.

 

[marshallmadman]

Get a shoulderhorn. I have been using one and it's really helping out. About a year ago I was benching 450. A couple of weeks ago I did three reps with 135 and racked it because my shoulder hurt so bad.
After a couple of workouts on this thing, the shoulder feels much better already.

 

[UFC22]

Better than going to see an MD or Osteopath about your condition would be seeking chiropractic care. A chiro that deals with extremity adjustments will probably yield success for you. I had a similar feeling in one of my shoulders. Did PT and whatever then saw a Chiro that new a ton about extremities. My first visit i was relieved. This might not be the case for you, could take a few more visits but it does sound like a nerve thing.

ART is awesome. breaks up the scar tissue. hurts like a bastard but worth it.

 

[therott]

get a MRI, x-rays dont show shit, surprised your doctor, didn't get you one, also get rid of your doctor, and find one who knows nothing but shoulders.

 

[all the whey]

yes orthro told me i had no problems that i just needed to stretch, i feel like dropping a weight on his neck too ( 200.00 visit!!!) that was 3 years ago tho

I had the problem with my back, then my shoulder. After all the tests. Dr. wanted me to got a physical therepist. My insurance wouldn't cover it. So, I got a book from the physical therepist showing all the different stretching. It took some time. But, that shit Works!

I haven't had any trouble with my shoulder since.

Sorry to hear that. It does hurt like a bitch. How many visits did you go? It took me 6 before I realized that shoulders/back were no longer hurting. I wish you the best of luck, injuries suck balls.

[georgie24]
