Well, as I mentioned in my first post, I play judo. Lately, for what ever reason, I have been slacking off. Maybe it's because I've been out due to injury, but I have a tournament in 3 weeks and I really feel like I haven't been doing much at all. I sustained some crazy injuries, I think. Somehow, I managed to fracture my knee, a fracture so small that I needed to get an MRI to diagnose it. I was told to take it easy, so I did for a few weeks. I went back to my judo class one Saturday morning because it was a relatively easy work out. Well, I ended up falling square on my left shoulder while practicing a technique that I had learned that morning. That set me back another two weeks.
Now, there's an additional two practices a week because the tournament is so close. I've only gone to one of those practices. In fact in the past two weeks since those practices have started, I've only been to 3 practices TOTAL. I really need to step it up, man. I also have the excuse of school, but I can't keep relying on that all the time. (It's so true though.)
I have stepped up my activity in the gym to help me get ready for tournaments, both now and in the future. I really find it a lot easier to work out with a friend. I discovered that on Thursday after my 8am class. My friend and I went to the campus wellness center after walking/running for our class. It felt really good, so I'm going to have to talk to him tomorrow afternoon when I see him.
I just realized what time it was, so I really need to get going.

I happened onto your blog. Very well done.
I have extensive experience in treating athletes with a variety of musculo-skeletal problems. Karate,judo, running, and boxing in particular, develop predictable problems with the elbows, wrists, shoulders and knees.
I currently use a non-prescription topical anti-inflammatory cream that I developed, originally for my daughter's horse.(her hobby) I introduced commercially, for human use 6 months ago.
The cream works in about 30 seconds, pain relief lasting 2-4 hours. There is no odor, no noticable sensation of burning or cooling. The pain, simply goes away. Most of the problems are inflammatory, and the cream is a transdermal anti-inflammatory of a rather potent nature.
The blog site is: http://paindoctor.typepad.com/kinkease_use_and_uses/
The product is called “kink-ease.” It is a high concentration MSM lotion, and it is particularly useful for pain problems in the feet, hands, wrists, ankles and shoulders. It is somewhat useful in the hip and lower back, but only in slender people.
It is pharmaceutical grade and is priced very reasonably.
