Sorry to hear about your injury sweetie! I had something similar about 1 1/2 years ago (and yes I was Poling). I went to a chiropractor, I had displacement of some vertebrae in the upper thoracic and lower cervical spine which caused the burning sensation you described as well as some pain/discomfort and tingling…not saying it’s the same thing but that’s what I found out…I also had tendinitis. After a few adjustments and some isometric exercises I was able to heal properly and slowly get back to lifting and poling. I had seen a GP prior to the chiro and he basically told me the same thing you were told…being a nurse I didn’t accept that for an answer! Good luck to you hun!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Here is a "jump start" strength training workout. I got this from a professional personal trainer/stunt man that trains celebs on short notice…I know it works as I used it myself and do it about every 4 months to stay on top of my training. Make sure you are consuming at the very least 1 gallon of water a day. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

I lift…been doing it now for just over two years, now bulking to get ready to compete in March 2010…FOOD IS VERY NECESSARY!! BREAKFAST is a MUST!! I never used to be able to eat until I slowly made myself..just a few bites at breakfast then a snack 3 hrs later, then lunch, then a snack, then dinner…it wasn’t long and my body needed the food and my progress excelled! I do a shake and a simple carb right after working out, I take a Casein protein shake before bed to keep my metabolism going for 7 hrs. It is very important to get your carbs and healthy fasts because protein requires carbs to synthesize (YOU CAN NOT BUILD MUSCLE WITHOUT CARBS), the basic rule of thumb is 40% protein (1gram/per lb of your lean body mass), 40% complex carbs (Nothing with white flour is complex), and 20% Healthy fats (Omega 3’s, 6, and 9’s) which you can find in fish, nuts etc. I can’t eat much fish so I supplement with flax seed oil with omega 3’s three times a day. I am lifting heavy and my workout changes every two weeks. I do have a basic one that will help anyone jump start a strength training program…let me know if anyone is interested and I will post it! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Also make sure you are well hydrated….the number one cause of cramping is dehydration! I have worked with many patients in the past (was a private nurse for a doc in sports medicine) and in most cases they were dehydrated…if you feel thirsty than it’s too late. Make sure before any physical activity like poling you drink at least 8 ounces of water before and then after….your muscles are about 70% water! Good luck! *HUGZ* https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

I find that hard to believe because Coke is extremely corrosive….one of it’s other uses is cleaning truck engines! I have a bunch of facts on it, I use to teach about healthy eating. Coke will dissolve a rusty nail in 4 days…I don’t think anyone is putting it on their pole! At least I hope not!

WELCOME MjjNj!!! Happy to have you here!! There are some other ladies that don’t have poles as well…you may be able to find out what they do, most will be purchasing a pole. Poling is definitely good for the body, mind, and soul!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
