Last weekend, I had the bright idea to do pull-ups over my kitchen doorframe. I've been out of work since.
At first, only one of my shoulders seemed to be useless. And I went onstage a few times, thinking I could only use one arm for my whole routine. Well, with a little creativity I did it, but then the other shoulder went to shit.
So I told my boss I was taking a few days off to let it heal and I've been trying to rest my arms (asking the love to do all my heavy lifting, not really exercising at all), using icy-hot patches that left big crusty squares on my back, and light stretching. And I'm pounding protein as much as ever. But I haven't been able to sleep much because of other reasons.
But it's still not feeling better and I'm scared to go up on stage again tomorrow, even though I've sworn myself off pole work for the next month. I don't want to fuck up my shoulders more and have it be a recurring issue.
I guess my question is, how much longer should I give it before I dare use them again? I'm a very vigorous dancer, even in my floorwork. To me, there's really not much of a point to even go into work if I don't go onstage, since that's what I use to get dances.
Any suggestions?
