 Alright everybody, what is going on? Welcome back to another video. In today's video I'm just going to talk briefly about the fact that I Got an MRI scan. I got an MRI scan done on my shoulder. It was my decision I had to pay for it I had to pay for the doctor's fee to get a referral to get it done and so I would never go through all of that shit without Really believing that you know something something's not right and that's how I'm feeling right now, you know This is a secret. I didn't want to tell anyone. I hadn't told anyone. I've gone through a couple of rugby trainings I played rugby I've been back in the gym as you guys know trying to put on size trying to put on my my weight that I'd lost earlier in The year and I'm going through my motions I'm going through certain movements and this the outside of my shoulder starts hurting Now it'll hurt when I try and do a pull down. It hurts at the back here It'll hurt when I try and do a row It hurts on the outside and at the back whenever I'm reaching across my chest It really really hurts like in them in them in the middle. It's not it's not at the side. It's really underneath. It's like it's like He can't really Pin point it and so first thing that pops in my mind is rotator cuff now I had I had a rotator cuff tear when I was 19. I'd come to Australia I was playing rugby the ball was out in front of me. I kicked it out in front It was over the trial line I dived out like this and I landed on the ground. Okay, my body was this way my arm was this way I landed on the ground and Injuries to the shoulder to the rotator cuff very commonly happen in sport When you do land on the ground with your arm outstretched, so I had a torn rotator cuff I never got it checked. I never went to the hospital. I remember I was 19 I was actually working a desk job at the time so I could continue working I couldn't train and I couldn't even like take a t-shirt off. I had a girlfriend at the time She'd help me take my t-shirts off. It took me six weeks until I could even lift my arm above half way Alright now that was something wrong. That was that was really something wrong. It healed by itself, obviously It felt probably a little bit iffy for maybe two or three years now Now that I've actually got a problem in my right shoulder. It's sort of it's taken that away I don't even think about it anymore So when I'm in the gym my left shoulder seems fine, although it didn't like five months ago now that I've actually got pain in my right Shoulder it seems fine. So I'm concentrating my right shoulder now and to be honest I can sort of pinpoint that the pain onto one It seems tendon. I assume I don't exactly know what it is You know as you as you feel around your shoulder you've got like, you know Little tendons that go down in the direction of the muscle fibers. There's one here that really really stands out as being painful now I can't tell what it is. I don't know what it is But I know that that's the point that hurts when I bring it across the front Especially when I raise it above my head and try to bring it across it really fucking hurts and you know It's it's a nagging pain and like I said with with rotator cuff injuries being caused by having your arm outstretched I have my right arm outstretched pretty much every night when I go to sleep and that's not good for your shoulder health You know, I will go to sleep with my arm like that and my head resting on my arm pretty much every night And so recently for the last few months. I haven't been able to do that because it hurts So I'll bring my arm underneath me. I'll get another another pillow underneath my left arm To sort of raise me up a little bit off the bed and and it's yeah overall man. It just doesn't feel good. So It came in time in place for me to finally get the scan done and that's what I've done So I went to the doctor. I got a referral. Luckily. I was able to get the MRI scan straight away I didn't have to wait like a week, which is what some people would have to do here in Alice Springs and so I've got An appointment in three days with my doctor to run through the results. He hasn't told me anything yet So that's it. I mean a MRI scan. What is it? It's a 20-minute scan. It's a magnetic Magnetic something something it gives a Complete 3d picture of your shoulder or of your knee or of your elbow or whatever you want to take an MRI scan of It gives a complete 3d picture of it not only bone, but also tissue tendons muscle Fluid so if there is a tear in my rotator cuff, you're going to be able to see it It's going to be surrounded by inflammation and there is going to be Separation in that in that rotator cuff. I don't believe it's completely torn. I believe it may be like a grade two or three Which means that it's partially torn in which case it's probably going to be just rehab I don't know. I don't know what sort of Options are going to give me to try and fix it But like I said man, this is a nagging pain that hasn't gone away for four or five months I went to Bali recently. I decided, you know what? I know there's a problem Before I come back to Australia and book in for this MRI scan I'm going to give it complete rest for two weeks and that's what I did I didn't train it for two weeks. I didn't do nothing I felt like maybe Trying to come back in the gym too fast too soon was was aggravating it whatever was wrong with it You know, if it's not a torn rotator cuff, it's it's a Burstitis I believe which is inflammation of the bursa, which is the fat pad at the end of your shoulder As you bring it up Now even just doing that it's It's sort of like it's it's shaky man It's it's on shaky ground. My shoulder is not a hundred percent healthy And so that's that's what I got this MRI scan for I will be updating you of the results This video was just to let you guys know I mean a lot of you are quite invested in my journey as far as playing sport and So it's only right for me to update you and tell you exactly what's going on I didn't want to have to I didn't want to have to tell you because Who knows who could be watching this someone who wants to give me a shot possibly you never know man You never know that's the power of YouTube. It's the power of the internet. You never know who's watching your stuff But You know, I'm really eager to see what these results say and If it wasn't for me going in there on my own accord Getting a referral saying to the I literally walked into the doctor. I said I need a MRI That's the only reason I'm here. He did a few tests. I'd actually trained Earlier in the day and what happens man when I when I train when I train my shoulder or my chest or my back And I get a bit of blood around the area it does Lesson the pain, but I feel like that's just because it's got cushioning there once I wake up the next day All the pump has gone all the blood's gone Feels just as bad. So when I actually went into the doctor's office Murphy's law Whenever you fucking have something wrong you go into the doctor's office. They say odd is this hurt is this hurt? It's like fuck. Well, no, it doesn't really hurt and that's what I told him I was like man, it's not gonna really hurt as bad as it normally does like he pulled it across here If I put my arm across my back and pull it forward like that that that aggravates it But you know after training it wasn't as bad. I said to him look regardless of what happens in this test I want to MRI scan give it to me gave me the referral. I went and got it done. I'm happy It cost me 275 Australian dollars to get an MRI scan done. I've got private health cover They don't give me back anything for that But if I do need shoulder surgery, it's covered so I can get in quickly get it done whatever needs doing get on to a rehabilitation plan and Get back into it and that's all I can say So at the moment, I still have this nagging pain. Just know that they were getting through it I'm still training for example if I'm doing bench press If I go really out wide it fuck it hurts man It hurts the outside of my shoulder something's and to be honest It's it feels like it's connected down into my lats and into my into my tricep Like I feel that that nag that pain sort of transferred down here and down here sometimes And I don't know what that is man. If you know if you think you know what's going on Let me know in the comment section below, but really I shouldn't be trusting my comment section with my shoulder health So that's why I went to go get it in black and white and MRI scan to tell me exactly what's going on. I Don't even know what I hope is going on if it's a small tear and they say no surgery It's like well fuck. It's been sore for five or six months. You know, what else can I do? But if they say it's a complete tear and it needs surgery, I'll be disappointed because it's like a period of rehabilitation But at least I'll know exactly what's happening and I'll come back stronger. I Tore my adductor a year ago It took me six months to be able to load it up, but now I firmly believe that it's stronger It's stronger than before it takes time to heal but once it does it really heals stronger. It's like being a Super Saiyan You know what I mean? So I'm hoping that whatever happens to my shoulder if I do have to get it repaired It'll only repair and hold stronger in the future and that's all I can hope for but for now You guys know everything. I know nothing, but hopefully I will soon and I'll update you as soon as I do So thanks for being here guys If you have enjoyed the video if you want to support me and the channel hit that like button If you want to subscribe please do I'll be back I'll be back.
