Hi all,
I'm going through a hard time with my fitness routine at the moment. Normally, I'm very active and train nearly everyday. I practice several styles of martial arts (on a rostered basis), I also cycle a lot to get around and have been incorporating more strength training exercises at the end of my training.
Where things have started to give me trouble is when I've been accumulating multiple joint pains in the past year and a half. I just had my shoulder checked a month ago and learnt that I have a torn supraspinatus. It had been giving me pain since September and meanwhile, the inside of my left ankle was starting to hurt a little in the morning. Now, both ankles hurt a little randomly throughout my day.
I'm keen to recover both my ankles and my torn rotator cuff but it's hard staying off all of them at the same time while still getting a good exercise routine. I've been doing leg training, kicks and sweeps but when I do, my ankles flare up. I'm really concerned that I might do damage to those tendons while staying off the shoulder.
Does anyone have any advice on how I should approach this? Is there some upper body exercises I can do with a torn supra or should I not risk it until its fully healed?
Thanks in advance,
Clinton
