WHEN WORKING OUT GOES COMPLETELY HORRIBLY TERRIBLY WRONG.......**WARNING...below is a graphic video of surgery procedure that Ill be undergoing in less than a week, view only if youre not a squeamish person....video has no sound)***..........uh lemme see, for the last, um, month and a half, ive been dealing with a swelling issue in my left arm that I thought was an issue attributed to the heavy lifting of my workouts but the swelling never seemed to go down or heal with the rest of my body and thatz something thatz unusual for my body. At first I thought was a blood clot but you I cant diagnose myself so I decided to go get it checked out by my doctor. He ordered a whole battery of tests and during the Doppler Ultrasound which looks for blood clots & aneurisms etc, they saw that ive developed a condition known as Thoracic Outlet Syndrome where the thoracic outlet are compresses the brachial plaxius or the nerves in that area which for me is a direct result of lifting too heavy and getting too big in my shoulder/neck area. So because of that, now I hafta have this issue corrected with surgery where they hafta remove one of my upper ribs(the 1st rib) and some muscle in my neck to make some room in that area so that my circulation can move thru unobstructed and wont cause any blood clots or anuerisms later. Bottomline....eventhough I got the results I was working for in the gym, I think I went too hard without giving my body itz proper time off for healing & recovery, so now im gonna lose a significant amount of all my muscle gains becuz this whole surgery/rehabilitation thing is gonna be about a 2-3 month process before I get back to 100% and im pissed off like a mofo but im grateful that they caught it before it turned into something much worse. Morale to the story....if youre over 40 and youre into heavy lighting & pushing your body thru rigorous workouts, be careful becuz an older body doesnt bounce back & heal the same way a younger body can...YOU WILL HURT YOURSELF IF YOURE NOT CAREFUL...so take your time, theres no rush.
