Easy to Injure, Slow to Heal

Man, I think my body is getting old.  Easy to injure, slow to heal?

My throwing arm has already started bothering me.  This happens every year and it ends up being in pretty bad shape near and by the end of the season.  The problem is that mission bowl season hasn’t even started and we’re just tinkering with turkey bowls!  Eeks.  Need it to get stronger and perhaps less overused.

I hurt my left tricep playing “well I have a flush” about 2 weeks ago.  It wasn’t a sore type of pain, it was a injured type of pain.  I don’t even know what happened, I was just doing pushups.  I thought I had let it heal and it was feeling pretty good for a few days, then I decided to work out and probably doing all those pushups was a bad idea.  Then, because my right arm was hurting, I started throwing with my left arm and now the tricep hurts again.  Wonder if that’s from throwing or still hurting from the original injury.  It’s a weird pain – only when I use strength in a specific way which I haven’t pinpointed yet.

Also, I thought my fingers were sore from holding a football but 3-4 weeks later, my right ring finger is still hurting.  I can’t figure out what’s wrong with it.   It hurts on the bottom half when making a fist, grabbing things, etc.

Oh, and my back/shoulder pain is coming and going.  GO AWAY! Haha.

Oh, and my shins hurt from running.

Lastly, I rolled my ankle while sprinting on Sunday.  I stepped on some large piece of root or wood or bark or something and just fell over.  The strange thing is that while it felt pretty bad at that moment, it’s actually not too painful now.  It’s only painful sometimes and in weird spots.  But I just noticed it was slightly swollen today.  Eeks.

Geez, so many problems.  OLD.
