Wrestling OT/LC Thread: We'll Stop Talking About Star Wars Eventually - Page 277

Dead arm syndrome starts with repetitive motion and forces on the posterior capsule of the shoulder. The posterior capsule is a band of fibrous tissue that interconnects with tendons of the rotator cuff of the shoulder. Four muscles and their tendons make up the rotator cuff. They cover the outside of the shoulder to hold, protect and move the joint.

Overuse can lead to a buildup of tissue around the posterior capsule called hypertrophy. The next step is tightness of the posterior capsule called posterior capsular contracture. This type of problem reduces the amount the shoulder can rotate inwardly.

Over time, with enough force, a tear may develop in the labrum. The labrum is a rim of cartilage around the shoulder socket to help hold the head of the humerus (upper arm) in the joint. This condition is called a superior labrum anterior posterior (SLAP) lesion. The final outcome in all these steps is the dead arm phenomenon.

The shoulder is unstable and dislocation may come next. Dead arm syndrome will not go away on its own with rest—it must be treated. If there is a SLAP lesion, then surgery is needed to repair the problem. If the injury is caught before a SLAP tear, then physical therapy with stretching and exercise can restore it.

It is common among baseball pitchers as they age, and it can also occur with quarterbacks in football and handball players also as they age.

We once had a promising young pitcher named Gil Meche who I thought could become elite, but he started having dead arm issues really early in his career, and ultimately he never turned into anything aside from a guy who spun a few great games before the issues arose.

Just went to a school play my kid was in with my m-i-l. Before it started she told me she found her old N64. I asked her how much she wanted for it. She thought I was kidding. I want Waverunner, Orcana of Time, SF Rush, and No Mercy back! Give me what I need!

Just googled the game. I had no idea WR was that popular and highly received. I think I just got the game included when I bought the console.

Yeah it was a launch game so a lot of people probably have fond memories. I still love it. The water physics were revolutionary for the time.

Mother**** - Chipotle had a security breach, & my card got compromised. I stuck with them through all the food poisonings, but this may be my boiling point

It's right next to my gym and a great post-lifting meal, so I rely on it a few times a week TBH. Also, my palette is terrible.

Was pretty entertaining seeing the sub 500 Dodgers and Giants play a 4 game series as if they were in the playoffs.

I have never had Chipotle in my life. I guess that is because of the glut of really good Mexican restaurants in the South Suburbs of Chicago, but the way you guys are talking about it, I feel like I'm missing something.

Oh yeah, in case you guys haven't figured it out yet, I have a compulsion to experience things that many others have condemned as terrible. I don't know why, I have always been that way.

Care to tell me anything the Mariners have done outside of squandering one of the best talents of our generation and winning a bazillion games one year and not finishing?

Got this on my Facebook feed. Looks like a fun T-shirt (they also have mugs and such).

(Edit: apparently this is more popular than I thought. I still want one.)
