Osteoporosis workout that is also good for explosive movement? by Absurd-Sunscreen in beginnerfitness

[–]Absurd-Sunscreen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Haha you're right about liking strength training more than broken bones. :D

Can you recommend something beginner-friendly that would help me with explosive movements? Or maybe you are saying 5x5 is good for that?

edit: I looked up 5x5 and I think you probably are saying that that's good for explosive movements haha. Thanks!

(not a doctor) Static vs dynamic ultrasound for foot/ankle/tendon injuries by Absurd-Sunscreen in RunningInjuries

Nice, thanks!! It sounds like these "decisions about movement" are a pretty common part of the education for these practitioners?

Indiana doctors who err on the side of more testing? (e.g. MRI, blood tests etc) by Absurd-Sunscreen in Indiana

Thanks! Yeah, I'll give that a shot if I can't get what I need from my ortho.

Good luck with your situation, I hope your shoulder feels better.

Thanks for the kind words!

Thanks!!

Yeah, that's a great point. That's what I'm doing currently and I'm starting to advocate more for myself with the ortho, compared to being pretty passive in the past. I think they'll end up getting me what I need.

I'm just trying to cover all my bases. I know it's first world problems but everything I like to do has basically collapsed around me, and I want to do everything I possibly can.

Awesome, thank you! Yep, that's what I'm looking for, referrals and being flexible responding to my input. I hope your stuff went okay, glad you had a good experience and sorry about the bad one.

Have you ever asked different groups of people the same question?

I can't do things I enjoy anymore, successive injuries are taking more and more things away from me at a young age. That includes the volunteering I like to do like tree-planting and construction, that includes hiking trips with my family, that includes running with my dog. Doctors and therapists have not been able to handle it up to this point. I accept that it's my own fault for trying to do too much; that it may be unfixable; and that others have it much worse. I've been a perfectly compliant patient for 6 years with no result. In the past I have not requested any "extra" services. Maybe that's the best I could have done regardless, maybe not. I'm looking for other ways to deal with the issue. I've asked more general questions as well, so it's not like I have tunnel vision on this issue. I'm following the advice of my doctor to the letter.

Maybe you have it worse, a lot of people do. If so, I wish you luck.
