Rotator cuffs - As you age, they get thin out and get weaker... it's that simple! If you tear one, you can be out of action for 6 - 24 months (sorry Andy :() Everyone can help prevent this by strengthening them and the surrounding shoulder muscles with the correct exercises.

Hi Robert that is bad news, I wonder how far I am really recovered. It is the left shoulder, and I have been playing golf quite comfortably (right handed) even picked up a long drive trophy last week ;D :P. But seriously, I do spend a fair amount of time staying in shape, weights etc, now 42 yo. I wonder how this upcoming trip is going to go down for me. Do you think realistically at my age one could be recovered in 3 months?
Thanks

Andy... dont stress too much... the degree of your injury might not be that severe.

That would definately work in your favour....
Firstly the injury may not be that severe because your body was prepared and secondly, you will find it easier to recover because your muscular system is atuned to strength movements.
I'm sure you'll be fine for the trip, but if you have any concerns, I'd recommend seeing a sports physio.

Tuff call that one... and one in which I'm not really qualified to make.
Although I will say this... Everybody reacts diferently to injury. Also be aware that the reason it can take so long for Rotator Cuffs to repair is because there is a low blood supply to the area.
If you are swinging golf clubs well... you should be ok for a fishing trip. (Swinging a driver uses a very large range of motion in the shoulder area) Once again... it might be an idea to speak to a sports physio.

Thanks for your comments Robert, the circulation matter is a good point, I'll definitely work on that aspect as well.

Hi Andy ,
Good luck with your trip to Komodo and I hope you recover in time but I do take Neurobion tablets before and during my fishing trip to strengthen my aging muscles . My turn to Komodo will be next year !

Hi Jon,
Location has changed to Alor, a bit more logistics involved in getting there, but I'm hoping that will mean more, bigger, and agressive Gee's. Very looking forward to this.
Thanks for the tip.
I'll let you know how we go.
Regards
Andy
