Re: shoulder problems.
Try a collagen supplement!
I tore 3 out of the 4 ligaments in my left shoulder a few years ago.
My left arm would barely move plus a ton of pain.
Went to an Ortho doc, went to therapy... almost a year later and ZERO improvement.
Finally I said I gotta try something, anything!
One day in the health food store I grabbed a bottle of joint pills that had type II collagen.
6 weeks later I was playing golf again (gently). Another month after that I was hitting it as hard as I ever have in my life and no pain
A couple times in the last year I ran out of pills and didn't take any for a couple weeks and the pain started to return!
Quickly located some more collagen pills and back to perfect within a week
Told a few friends and relatives about the pills and their shoulders also improved dramatically.
One of the people I told about it was Socaloldman here on AGN. He got great results as well.
Give it a try, you have nothing to lose
There are a lot of joint pills out there and most of them have glucosamine and chondroitin.
Make sure you get one that has type II collagen.
It depends on the specific problem. In my case, one of the rotator cuff muscles is totally detached. Based on the MRI, the doc said it was an old injury, and the detached muscle had atrophied so much, it can't be reattached, as they did in my other shoulder. The distance it has withdrawn from the attachment point is really remarkable. So, unfortunately, this is not the kind of thing that a supplement can correct. The good news, my bicep muscle has partially compensated for the missing shoulder muscle, and although I have some bicep and shoulder pain, I have full range of motion, and probably 70% of normal strength. If I have a complete reverse replacement, my strength and pain will be improved, but range of motion will be reduced, since they attach the deltoid muscle to the cuff. As long as I manage how I use it, I hope to avoid the replacement, and keep on shootin"!
