Bad case of detailers' shoulder.

Featured Replies

Managed to tweak a nerve in my shoulder claying the missus' car. I got the job finished but haven't started my yeti yet.

That needs doing though as I think the car is 30% yeti, 40% Terradactyl poo, and 30% Sahara dust :-(

My back is letting me know I might have overdone it yesterday on the wifes car... Maybe I should have got her to wind the coilovers up to a more comfortable height for polishing ;-)

Your wife can do that?

Mine cant even adjust the seat !!

She rebuilt all the suspension herself with polybushes and the coilovers. She's also stripped her 7L Cadillac engine down to just the block so the heads could be reworked... She needed help lifting them out though ;-)

What's that?

Good at hoovering but she leaves the ironing to me... Thus we iron very little ;-)

She is currently cleaning up a little lathe that she rescued from her work as they were getting shot of it... Won't be long before she's better than me at this rate :-S

She can iron but won't hoover downstairs (large rug as it's laminate everywhere) as the hoover is too heavy to carry down.

She can't cook very well either. Nor cut the grass.

Least I get to clean the cars

2 and a bit weeks in it's still giving me grief. Doc explained that "detailers shoulder" isn't a recognised medical condition but to persevere with painkillers, anti-inflammatories and keeping the shoulder mobilised.

 

By which i think he means I have to clean the car again.

 

Think I'll give that a miss until I can roll over in bed without sounding like Chewbacca would after stubbing his toe.

 

Anyway, be careful out there boys and girls, don't get your bucket out without proper stretching and warming up etc.

I see a back specialist every month , when you have a frozen shoulder your body tries to imobolise itself so the toxins then are static and the pain gets worse . A massage helps the blood flow and removes toxins and stiffness

As Alan says, continued mobility is key

sounds advice from Alan - well worth investigating massage options on such injuries.  :thumbup:
