Another medical visit

Jan 24, 2011 14:09

Last week I started a few months of medical visits -- I'm now at 2 down 3 or 4 (depending on how you count the blood draw) to go. I was musing as I walked back to work that my copay is somewhere between my 1 day net and my 1 day gross salary at my first "real" job ( Read more... )

medical, exercise

When I hurt my foot last spring, I did my PT on both sides, S^3: "Support Surrounding Structures."

This helps prevent the same type of damage on the other side of the body, (more likely when one is favoring the side you first hurt.)

And I hope you feel better quickly!

Thanks! JanMagic spent a bit of time working on my right shoulder at ConFusion... and then on the left she found an AMAZING knot. I've probably been abusing the one while favoring the other.

At a guess, "AC" would be the acromio-clavicular joint. It's where the shoulder end of your collar bone attaches to the piece of your shoulder-blade that sticks forward to meet it. AC issues can cause pain in the shoulder joint, and cause stability problems if there's a separation of sufficient size.

Ah, here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acromioclavicular_joint

Thanks both. And yeah, that looks like the right place for the other set of pain he noted.
