[FASTLARRY]

A muscle strain, also called a pulled muscle, occurs when a muscle is stretched too far, and small tears occur within the muscle. I want to get on Aleve or Iboprophene right away, ice it down and keep it from swelling. The next day you can do the same, or apply a heat pad.

Here is the key thing, you must stop playing an allow it to heal. Do not go out and keep injuring it again.

When you are a senior player your chances of injury are much greater than some flat belly kid. You have to take it easy and slow.

I have not played much for a long time and am totally out of shape. I know, it will takes months to slowly play my way, back into resonable shape. I have been hitting balls every day for several days. My right arm has been sore and getting to bother me. Do I stop, rest, let it heal, hell no, keep playing until I totally cripple my self. Sometimes I can be so dumb, I amaze even my own self.

I have been working mostly on snapping, rolling my hands over on impact with a long extension down the line. My right arm has been used to going up and back with a pool cue, this rolling over, it was not used to. I get in a new 8.5 tour burner with a tour stiff shaft. I am dying to hit that bad boy. I walk into Nippon high tech driving range, they say ah so, fast rarry, I saw ah so and I am out on the cpu pad. Normally, I would go through a very slow warm up, beginning with my short clubs, my wedge, half shot to full, then work through my bag hitting 9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 and into the woods. I would finish with the driver.

I don't even get my glove on and the house pro is on my bag looking over the new driver. He loves it, but thinks the shaft is too stiff for me. I went dude, it did not come off tour, for nothing. I said hit it, tell me what you think. He goes, naw, my shoulder is out. Lets see you hit it. So like a dumb she-yit I pull out the big fookin dawg and let him hunt. Right, on the heel, on the toe, then I nut one long, and with it, badda bing, pain all the way up my right arm, on the inside, half way up the forearm, up to the start of the bicep. When the pro saw my face, he knew, and I told him where, he said, that happens to me sometimes. He wanted me to stop right then and I said, I cant stop after 3 fookin balls. I sat down, tried to rub it out, hit wedges through the 6 and then the pain kicked in and I limped out of there. I pulled a Grade II. I always think, it could have been worse.
Cause of injury, not resting an already strained muscle, and a improper warm up, in fact, no warm up. I got what I deserved, pain. Thank God, for Johnny Walker.

ooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Jap balls, take out, fast rarry.... I was on the ice packs all last night. I won't pick up anything bigger than my scotch glass now until this thing heals. I'll work on my putting instead. Drive fo show, put fo dough. I will stay off the range and just swing a few clubs left handed in my back yard and let my right arm heal. When you are hurt, there is always something you can work on or with. Unless it's your back, then you are a gonner.

Muscle strain injuries are graded by severity:
Grade I: Mild discomfort, often no disability. Usually does not limit activity.

Grade II: Moderate discomfort, can limit ability to perform high level activities. May have moderate swelling and bruising associated.

Grade III: Severe injury that can cause significant pain. Often patients complain of muscle spasm, swelling, and significant bruising.
Difficulty: Average
Time Required: Depends on the severity of the injury
Here's How:
Rest:
Rest is recommended for the early recovery phase, lasting 1 to 5 days depending on the severity of the injury. Immobilization is not usually necessary, and can be potentially harmful. Immobilization in a splint or cast should be carefully supervised by your doctor, as this can lead to stiffness of the muscle.

Ice:
Ice application helps reduce swelling, bleeding, and pain. Ice application should begin as soon as possible after sustaining a muscle pull. Ice applications can be done frequently, but should not be done for more than 15 minutes at a time.

Anti-Inflammatory Medications:
Anti-inflammatory medications can help reduce swelling and alleviate painful symptoms. These medications do have potential side effects, and you should check with your doctor prior to starting anti-inflammatory medications.

Gentle Stretching:
Stretching and strengthening are useful in treatment and prevention of muscle strain injuries. Muscles that are stronger and more flexible are less likely to be injured.

Strengthening:
After injuring the muscle, it is important to regain strength before returning to athletic activities. Both the injury itself and the rest period following the injury can reduce the strength of the muscle. Stronger muscles are less likely to sustain a re-injury.

Heat Applications:
Laboratory studies have shown that temperature can influence the stiffness of a muscle. By keeping the body and muscles warm, the muscle is less likely to sustain a strain type of injury.

Avoid Muscle Fatigue:
Muscles help absorb energy, and restoring the strength of the muscle will help prevent re-injury. Muscles that are fatigued are more likely to be injured. Athletes should use caution, especially as they become fatigued, as the muscle becomes more susceptible to strain injuries.

Warm-Up Properly:
Warming up prior to athletic competition or sports will help loosen the muscle and prevent injuries. Jumping into a sport with stiff muscles can lead to a higher chance of straining the muscle.
