I used my infrared light yesterday and it seems to have helped some. I didn't wake up in pain like I have been. It still feels tight in places but much better. I will use it again tonight. I walked on my treadmill for about 25 minutes and then I did CDorners Day 5 Calming Stretch for Neck and...

Walked on my treadmill again. B O R I N G ! Good thing I'm reading a good book or I would be going out of my mind. I also did CDorner's Day 24 Mobility for Neck and Shoulders and although it was hard for me to do some of the moves, I do feel a bit better right now. My entire upper left side -...

This morning I did a short treadmill walk and then did CDorner's Day 5 Neck and Shoulder Stretch which felt good but was hard to do. My neck and upper body area is so tight it actually hurt to do the stretches. I just don't understand why this happening, I don't remember doing anything that...

Well, still hurting in my upper back, neck, shoulder, lat and tricep area. Some days it feels great, other days not so much. The new pillow doesn't seem to be making much of a difference so far. I purchased an infrared light system so we'll if that helps. If not, I'll be going back to PT. All I...

This morning I woke up with another huge knot in my upper back left side. Sick of this shit. Actually it started last night before I went to bed. I used my new pillow and it is quite comfortable but I need to take out some stuffing. When I got it it was so flat and I was worried it would be too...

This morning I did RAW Cardio Crush and had a pretty good workout. This is a pretty fun one except when she does the plank work. I subbed that out with other cardio. It's 37 minutes long. 45 seconds on/10 seconds off Low Jack/2 Jacks Rt/Lft Knee/Bunny Hops Both together - 2x's Plank...

Hi all. I'm back hopefully. I still have some tightness and tender areas in my neck and upper back but my lat and tricep feels fine now. I'm starting to think sleeping on my wedge pillow isn't as great as it was at first. I find every morning that I am sleeping at the bottom of the wedge with my...

Belinda - I am much better. Just don't have anything to post. I'll be back at my workouts either Monday or Tuesday. This rest has been welcomed. Jolie - Glad your surgery is over with and glad it went well!! Have a great Memorial Day weekend everyone!!

I'm still resting and I am feeling much better. The pain is minimal and going away. I've been using heat on my tricep and shoulder blade area and it has helped a great deal. I'm hoping by Monday or Tuesday I can start working out again. I'm enjoying the time off, truth be told. Diane - I don't...

Hi all. Well it looks like I'm taking a few days off. Yesterday morning I opened one of our windows - which are really hard to open - and whatever has been festering in the area of my arm pit and triceps and lat was pulled really bad and I could barely lift my left arm over my head yesterday...

Jolie - when I had a painful tooth my doctor told me to take IBUprofin and Excederin and it worked but I can't remember how many of each tablet to take. Maybe look it up and see, don't take my word on it because I don't want you to get sicker, but whatever the concoction was, it worked. And I...

This morning I walked on my treadmill again and then did some foam rolling. I put the roller under my armpit and on the upper back side of the shoulder blade that goes right under the armpit. Wow was that painful. What is that all about? It felt good rolling out and I guess I should have been...

Sorry I didn't check in yesterday, I had my last educational event yesterday and I just didn't have time to get on and post. So Young Authors was yesterday and it went great!! Fun event. I just walked on my treadmill yesterday and today. I'm finally feeling better and don't want to push it. I'm...

This morning I wanted to do a lower body workout but holding weights is just not happening right now. So I did RAW Butts & Guts and had a pretty good workout. I also walked on my treadmill for a bit so that helped with calorie burn. Tabata style of 20 on 10 off - 8 rounds: Plie Squats Froggie...

No weights for me again, this upper back thing is turning into what I've dealt with in the past where I had to go to my PT to get it to heal. I'm going to wait it out a week and see how I feel Monday before I make an appointment so this week I will just do stretching and mobility work even...

This morning I was supposed to do STS 2 Tri-sets but I am still feeling pain in my upper shoulder blade area on my left side. I thought I should just give it a rest until Monday and try again. So this morning I did RAW Ignite Your Metabolism and had a pretty good workout. This isn't one of...

This morning I needed to get a good stretch in, I was actually in pain yesterday, which isn't good. I used my body buddy on my shoulder blade area and worked out some knots, which seemed to be many. I then put a hot bean bag on it and it feels much better today but I can tell it's still there...

This morning I did STS 2 Super Sets Total Body and had an excellent workout. I'm a bit worried, though, because I have some issues going on with my upper left back again right in the shoulder blade. Not sure what the heck is going on. I will heat it up this evening. Supersets done 3x's through...

I am not sure if I mentioned that I am going to try and follow the 8 week STS rotation so we'll see. Yesterday's was the first in the cycle. Today was an active recovery workout so I did RAW Kickbox NRG & RAW Boxing Finisher. Had a great, sweaty workout! Love these two workouts. I used my 1.5#...

This morning I had an excellent workout. I did STS 2 Total Body Giant Sets and did the entire workout. I really liked it. I didn't go as heavy as I could but when I did the 3rd set with 8 reps, I did go higher with some of the moves. 10 reps doing these excises one time through with little...
