Thanks guy's.
Training will take a back seat for a couple of months now as work starts to get busy. Made it to the gym late last night and weighed in at 117.55K. But, for the first time ever after a competition I felt too sore to actually do anything. Had a bit of banter with the lads then went for fish & chips.....

It's good to be back in the gym however despite no benching now for 3 weeks the left shoulder only seems to have gotten worse, it's painful just putting a coat on at the moment. I'm in for the MRI scan on Wednesday and have an appointment with the specialist to discus the results at 7:30PM next Friday.

Wednesday 2nd.
Went to the hospital for my MRI scan on the left shoulder this afternoon.
First they injected some sort of dye into my shoulder joint, "You'll just feel a small prick" said the doctor and he was right at first but it seemed to take forever to inject all the dye in and was bl**dy painful at the end.
Then 30 minutes in the MRI scanner, no problem at first but after about 3 minutes I badly needed to scratch my nose, difficult when your arms are strapped to your side. The scanner itslef was only just big enough to get me in. Eventually I fell asleep before waking myself up by snoring loudly!
As I had been warned that due to my numb shoulder I would not be able to drive after the scan I had to catch a bus home, that was an experience, the first time that I have caught a bus for nearly 30 years. Actually it would not have been so bad if the bloke sitting behind me had washed at some point in the past week!
I have been told not to train for a week (I'll be back in the gym tommorow) and I go to see the consultant about the scan results on Friday night.

Hopefully it will all turn out alright mate
Went to see the consultant about the results of the x-rays and MRI scan this afternoon. The x-rays were inconclusive and showed nothing unusual, in fact the consultant thought that the shoulder joint looked really good and clean.
The MRI scan showed the fluid they injected in had not penetrated any cartilage tears so the SLAP tear theory was out and the actual shoulder joint was fine, however what it did identify was a bone spur and some tendon swelling underneath my collarbone. So there it is, a bone spur!
Apparently my options are:
1). An operation deep into the shoulder area to file down the bone spur.
2). Ongoing cortisone injections to reduce the tendon swelling.
3). Do nothing and live with the pain, taking ibrupofen to reduce the swelling and painkillers to help with any pain.
I'm going to take a few weeks to think about this.

Tricky decision to make. When i went to the doctors to get an MRI on my shoulder last year i was offered cortizone injections on my shoulder. I told this to the guy who was giving me physio he said that repeated cortizone injections in your joints can in the long run do more harm than good.

I'm afraid that's what hotel cooked breakfasts do for you.
Is there anything better than fried bread for breakfast?
