Wow that looks really uncomfortable, sorry you are going through this McClane.

The thoracic nerve runs through your shoulder and is the neural pathway for everything else in your arm. If it gets pinched in your shoulder all sorts of bad s*** starts to happen. That's what TOS is, but that might not be the cause. However, they say like 95% of TOS cases are caused by nerve problems (i.e. it getting pinched).

I will be the one making the gay comment about your back having developed pretty nicely, McClane.

Pull ups and squats FTW.

Shoulder fixed.

Awesome news. What's the lowdown on the diagnosis/treatment? Big relief to finally have it fixed?

I just did a few exercises. I mainly went to get a green light for a transition to lifting weights again. Low weight/high reps. Ease back on into it and do the exercises to keep the upper back strong so it holds it in place. My left side is weak/underdeveloped, which was causing the shoulder blade to sit in the wrong position. Yeah, NOT FUN. So yeah, glad it's better. Elbow still hurts, though. Probably a little longer for that to heal.

I basically already knew what was wrong and how to correct it but I wanted to get a professional opinion on it. Doctor pretty much agreed with what I told him and gave me the green light for heavier lifting.

Glad to hear you are doing what you need to to get better, good luck with everything.

Glad you are better, Matt

Me, too!

What does the yellow bracelet symbolise?

hanging out with my 6-year-old nephew this morning, we played a dumb game where i told him to strike an expression for various scenarios and then i'd capture them on camera.

"pretend like you're thinking REALLY HARD on your homework"



"pretend you're hideous and ashamed to show your face"



"pretend your nintendo DS just broke"



and finally, my fave: "what would you do if Santa Clause walked in right now?"

I thought you were supposed to be an Asian woman?

He's not an Asian woman. He's had an Asian woman.
