Many of my friends are familiar with the struggles that I've had with arthritis. Recently I broke down and went to the doctor. I got cortisone shots in both shoulders. I know this goes against the whole Paleo lifestyle, that is prevalent in the crossfit community. But who the "F" cares. My shoulders,knees and back hurt so bad I could hardly get out of bed some mornings. I tried changing my diet and all of the things I thought were a better alternative to getting the "shots". The pain was severe enough that I could have very easily just complained about it and never really worked out again, but that's not Crossfit. Crossfit is working around your physical ailments and getting fit as you can. Well the "shots" are currently doing their job and working just fine. So I decided its time for the Big Comeback. I am currently on week #5 of the 5x5 lifting program(. http://stronglifts.com/stronglifts-5x5-beginner-strength-training-program/)The program is getting more difficult each week and I am feeling stronger. I chose this approach for my rehab, because being strong is the key to Crossfit and Life in general. When I'm strong I feel confident and everything is right in my world. . So keep your fingers crossed for me and remember its never too late for the Big Comeback!
