Three weeks ago, I had the brilliant idea of lowering my pc screen and moving it back to the edge of the table to create more workspace in front of me. As a result, I had to stretch my arms a bit more to type decently. The week after, I started having pain in the area of the left scapula, with pain radiation down my left arm to about my elbow. Swings did not exactly make it any better. Went to see the doctor who diagnosed a slight hernia of one of the upper thoracic vertebrae. Painkillers and, if it did not improve, kinesitherapy. Last Friday I went to see a kinesitherapist, who also happened to be a sports kinesitherapist. After examining, he did not believe the pain to be from a hernia in the upper thoracic spine. The symptoms, pain radiating to elbow, were, according to him, not consistent with a hernia at that spot. He believed the pain is caused by a stretched nerve, caused by a poor sitting posture. He knew kettlebells, and adviced not to do swings, because of the forward pull of the bell, even with descent shoulder packing. Snatches, TGU, C&P no problem, I can still do those
So I started this week with a mofified S&S (I know I shouldn't): 5x(6+6) snatches with 20kg and TGU with the 24kg bell. See how that works out.
