    Thanks David. I think you nailed it in the last paragraph. Don’t think hockey has been the lone contributor, but certainly would consider the possibility. I do think I put it over the edge w CF, unfortunately. The volume of squatting, burpees and box jumps just put tremendous stress on the joint. I am bummed because I really fell in love with CF and saw some great results in the short term. I even bought a book on Olympic lifting, to improve my progress in that area. I have not been to the gym in two weeks, and skipped my game this week. Lo and behold, the pain has subsided. I have MRI and follow up visit scheduled for next Wednesday. Thanks again

    Hi David. Had a doc appt today. Based on several factors he thinks I have patellofemoral arthritis. I have an MRI scheduled for next week. Not sure what this all means, for my athletic endeavors or general fitness plans. Any insight I would appreciate it. Thanks

    Thanks David. I have flossed w my trainer at the gym, but that was over a month ago. I’m going to order the floss today and start on it. I have an MD appt next week. BTW, I don’t feel any pain in my hips. Would I if I was tight or short in the hips?

    Good luck. Do exactly what the Dr. says, and follow the rehab. It’s all about the rehab, and finding the right person. Also, did he recommend getting an ice machine for post surgery? If not, def look into. Was huge for me

    Thanks for the help David. Appreciate it. Will focus on these things. I’m sure my form was lacking. Thanks again. I can say after a few days, and some mobility work from the low back tweak fast fixes video, I can report much improvement.

    Hi ES. I am a few years removed from a SLAP surgery, with a rotator repair as well. I had great care after and was back playing ice hockey in 4.5 months. Not bad for a 45 year old. Anyway, I am fairly new to crossfit, and some of the lifts are giving me some issues, such as heavy overhead lifts. Soreness more than anything, just also concerned with possibility of damaging the repair area. I am back doing full, strict pullups with little pain and deadlifts also. Good luck.
