i have a pair. a solid brass pair. My shoulder's constantly felt like that for months and months, i've just ignored it and trained through it. isn't that the manly thing to do around here? it hasn't fallen off yet, i'm just wondering why it feels it could at any minute :pac:

Its probably your ITB... everything negative in the world is ITB related

time to **** it up with a tennis ball at least. Think I'm overusing my traps or something... cos they're feeling pumped/dodgy/whatever. i'm not good at feeling things.

you're the man to ask anyway, cos i'm not up on taking drugs to ignore possible injuries, how much ibuprofen should i take?
