Monkey Needs "BIG" Numbers, no whammy's

Squaggleboggin · 01-06-2006, 10:54 PM

Wow. Some serious numbers for an old injured guy. Haha. You seem to be doing great despite the obstacles. That's what it's all about...

**P-funk** · 01-07-2006, 06:20 AM

Instead of a 6 week wait for an appt, I got a 8 days -

The Guy who rebuilt my shoulder in '01'
(Paul Shapiro) is a shoulder, elbow, wrist- guy...

Well, this is his brother (Jeff Shapiro) who is a hip, knee, ankle- guy
(Both sports specialists with some big-name patients)

We shall see what he says

My friend used to train a guy whoes back was banged up and he would always say...."I am going to the doctor tomorrow so lets try and really fuck something up."

Tried a small experiment this morning...

Mixed my juice from my juice machine w/protein powder...

I have mixed fresh apple juice from the machine w/PP before,
But, never vegtable juice...
(My usual recipe does have apple and orange in it)

It wasn't bad

Unless it upsets my system, I will continue this practice I think -

We'll see how it works out for now -

The Monkey Man · 01-11-2006, 12:38 PM

WED 11JA061430

The verdict is in...

Doc says my knees are jacked from a combination of slight inflammation,
and the erosion of the surface on the back of my knee cap...

So no shots can help, as he suspects the tendonitis is only a
slight part of the problem as a whole...

My discomfort is caused by a deterioration of bone,
and the only help he offered was to scope and sand down
the inside surface of the knee cap.
This will only relieve the pain, and the surface will degenerate again
with continued abuse...
(I don't like this idea)

So we will keep testing the bounds of what I can or can't do,
by simply keeping the pain factor down...
IE = Smart training and rest

Not happy here...

I'm all psyched out from taking to the Doc today...
I can't get my head straight -

I'm done for the day, I'll rest again and train when I'm
not so distracted

**P-funk** · 01-11-2006, 07:17 PM

can you go to a chiro and get some active release to atleast bring the inflamation down a little bit?

**CowPimp** · 01-11-2006, 09:48 PM

Good luck with the new split. Hopefully your knees can handle the frequency.

The Monkey Man · 01-12-2006, 05:09 AM

Going to start Back on the,
Glucosamine-Chodroitin-MSM...

I stopped taking it because I was almost positive
my problem was mostly muscular...

So now I'm thinking it will help...
(and, I will take a heavy squatters dose)
