Hey,

Anyone here worked back from an injury? Long story short - i play sports, injured my shoulder very severely twice... shit's weak as hell now. Just got cleared to get back into working it back up about a month a go, and have been slowly going.

Now, I can only take my workouts as far as my left shoulder can take me - so it has been lots of low weight, high reps (i literally had to start with 2 - 5 pound weights with my left.) I've been slowly getting it back, but the injury was such that the shoulder won't be the same, which is fine, but I can still get its strength up. Has anyone worked their way out of such an injury before? I have my physio guy, so I do have exercises to slowly help, but he can only really take me so far. I have possibly thought of asking my doctor about a steroid shot in that shoulder to help it out (my right shoulder is severely stronger than the left.)

Anyway, i'm not looking for any "medical" advice, and I won't be putting myself in any risk of further injury, so don't worry about your opinion making me do anything stupid - just any words of wisdom from people who have suffered through the same. Thanks.
