I did prolotherapy 12 years ago and hurt like a MFer...not sure it helped...but I think my doc was a quack....
Do you take fish oil? Im taking 15-25g a day...its a miracle worker for a host of issues, including reducing inflammation.
If you need to, start with foam rollers, work up to stiffer ones, and then work onto PVC. Also, either using the floor or a wall, try out tennis balls, golf balls, LAX balls, etc. Work around the shoulder and opposing muscles too, hit the pecs, lats, all around the hurting joint and stretch to tolerance...
Stuff costs a ton...but if you can find a good progressive PT they might have ways of doing things, or a good ART guy....needling has worked for many friends of mine if its allowed in your state....and the traditional stuff stim, TEMs, ultra sound, ICE, resting and laying off which I know is hard to do.....ever do cortisone injections? If you do, allow it to rest and lay off it for a while....its worked for me in the past...
Im burned out but will think more of other stuff I do for nagging injuries....deep tissue work for sure works miracles, as does rest and ice...and the right PT who knows how to do stability work without nagging it more....
So your ACL and meniscus are torn right now too?!?!?!?
I have a phone book list of injuries, but am thankful, truly thankful to God everyday I can still train...Ive been banged up, nearly killed, and shit hurts every day and some weeks or months I gotta quit training certain movements all together, but thank God Ive always been able to get back under a barbell in the rack or yank some heavy stuff on the platform
Shave??!? Me?? haha...Im an old school football, MMA, powerlifting and olympic lifting dude...never have shaved a thing...damn would be a lot of work, Im a hairy caveman bastard!
