Osteoarthritis - Can you still pump iron if you have it? |
OK so I go to the doctor about my rotator cuff and he says you have bicep tendon damage.... and orders an X-ray. He gets the x-ray and he says... theres a surpirse here which I wasn't expecting because you are so young but you have osteoarthritis in this shoulder... adn then he says I will have to modify my routine... adn when I asked about cures he started talking about old people and plastic hips and stuff at which point I just glazed over... since I haven't made any retirement plans just yet.... and I was really just enjoying body-building. So can you still pump iron or not? Absolutely. Be careful with specific advice from medical doctors especially if they are not well-versed in sports medicine. You are better off to visit a Sports Injury based Chiropractic clinic or even a Naturpathic Doctor well-versed in weight training injuries. Arthritis is commonly diagnosed in the shoulders of intermediate and advanced weight trainers. There are so many exercises to avoid to maintain a healthy rotator cuff, however most ignore the advice and continue on the path of joint destruction with poor technique and movements that do little more than aggravate their conditions. Here's a link on shoulder injuries and a Rotator Cuff Tenditinits Report I highly recommend (also review 4 exercises to avoid). http://preventdisease.com/fitness/sporti... Osteolysis of the Clavicle is also a common injury in weight lifters that gradually breaks down the clavicle. Symptoms are often similar to rotator cuff and long-head bicep tendinitis. http://preventdisease.com/news/articles/... Most long-term bodybuilders have some degree of arthritis. If it's mild, I would not be concerned. Ensure you modify your routine every three months and always keep your reps above 6. This will ensure you are not overloading joints and compression mechanisms inside the joints. If you have an underlying joint pathology or tendon damage then you should treat and address this before resuming your routine. Exercise generally helps osteoarthritis and weight training is especially effective in reducing pain and symptoms: http://www.preventdisease.com/news/artic...
