Anyone want to moan about injuries?

[HollywentLightly]

I'm 47 and falling apart. I've been weight training for over 10 years but despite good form* I'm 9 months into on my second major shoulder injury in 6 years with a hysterectomy in between. I'm fed up of being banjaxed. I'm not looking for fixes, just need a moan.

*As confirmed by both PT and physio

@HollywentLightly are you able to see a physio? Or maybe your GP can refer to a physio, even though it might take some time, theres no harm in getting on the waiting list…
i had my first PT session yesterday - a big buff PT came over me and his opening line was not “hello” but do you have an injury? I explained my elbow and he kind of assessed it and gave me some exercises for it! He probably has had to face the same imjury 10 times in his life! That felt quite positive. Although he is a bit of a cross between a caveman and a bodybuilder, his approach was very caring. Apparently i am “very strong for a woman” (i guess he meant of my age). I could be offended but i find it funny!
i told him i was working on handstands and L-sits before my injury, he said very paternalistically that i was aiming very high but a few exercises later he told me that he was ok to challenge me but first we had to get that elbow/shoulder fixed. I am feeling in good (hairy and tatooed) hands!! I did all my physio exercises after the PT amd properly iced it before putting deep heat and popping a nuoifen - feeling motivated!

@babylone I've been having physio for nearly a year now (I changed a couple of months ago to see if a different approach would help), have had an MRI, seen a shoulder specialist and had 3 steroid injections 😢 I have been very lax on my exercises the last three weeks, which hasn't helped, as there are some other big stresses sucking up life but I need to get some bit back on track. I'm feeling very sorry for myself this morning.
