Since I was dropped a PM by our Highly Exhausted Ruler and Moderator Tim wanting to know if I was still around, I thought I'd give an update.
I developed a pretty bad case of tennis elbow last fall and it really limited the use of my left arm. I think I got it from hitting the heavy bag, but I can't say for sure.
I finally went to see the doctor about two months ago about it and have been seeing a Physical Therapist for some relief and it has helped tremendously, at least the pain is not there constantly any more. I hope to be back at the bag in a few weeks maybe. Luckily it hasn't interfered much with playing the guitar, and I have been staying somewhat in shape by running more. I'm up to about 20 miles a week now and it feels great. Unfortunately, my upper body hasn't gotten much if any workout for roughly six months and I hate it but there's nothing I can do about it.
Just this past weekend I think I may have turned on a neighbor to the speedbag and will highly recommend the site to him if he really gets into it.
I hope everyone is doing well!
