Brothers and Sisters - I am a broken man

Hear ye, brothers and sisters. 5 Seasons ago, I suffered a severe injury to my AC joint after colliding into a metal carriage on my horse of steel. The injury has left me a shell of the man I once was, and I crave the gains that have left me. I am a mere pudding of a man - squidgy and delightful - as stated by my maiden, but neigh, tis not the form I was destined for.

My injury limits my left arm's movement; Lateral raises, presses and dips are forbidden as the tension is too much. I ask thee, brothers and sisters, has anyone suffered a similar injury but managed to overcome it? I pray for your guidance, for it has been too long since I attended temple. I fear Brodin has abandoned me.

Blessings be upon you, brother. I have prayed with my healer, and they set me on a path which has restored me to infant like mobility, however, they have said that I will forever be cursed with pain in certain positions. Tis a fate I am not willing to accept. I will seek guidance from another healer, perhaps my current healer is an agent of Broki.

Tis a lake, methinks, thou should take first steps therein. Brother mine, Brodin has blessed you with the eternal stretch. Yonder ailment is kindred to mine, tis an affliction of thine main pillar. Sup with the vixens of yoga, mayhaps, let their slow and sensual movements play upon your spine and shoulders. Many nights have I slept well after their charms were heeded. But Ware my words, for I am no witch doctor, nor healer. I shall devote mine prayers to you and yours this morn. Swöl!

My journey will be perilous, no doubt. Your prayers raise mine spirit - may Brodin bless you.

Go to the Barbell Medicine forum, my brother. The healers there have a wealth of knowledge and are themselves blessed by Brodin’s gifts!

I too was afflicted by this twist of fate, near 10 months ago. Yea, and it was a terrible blow, of the third grade, without a visit to the sawbones. But I have persevered. Through pain, hardship, and the exercises proscribed by the physical therapy maidens, I am once again able to hoist my own mass in pushups. Every fortnight my strength increases. A lady of my aquaintance told me just last eve that my arms remain resplendent. There is yet hope for you.

Broki hath pushed thee off of Brodin's SwoleShip. Now in the sea of Despair, thou must swimmeth with powerful strokes to the shore. When you arrive your Brothers and Sisters will open the ranks of the SwoleWall, and you may reenter the Temple and regain your place in Brodin's light.

And may the Allspotter forever dameth those that ride in iron cages and look not before they turn into the path of an iron horse moving at speed!!
