If you have lost movement and are in that amount of pain you probably have torn it. My husband was even taking vicodin when the pain got really bad and even that did not help (prior to surgery). An MRI is a smart move. Most of all, REST.

I ahve had issues with my rotator cuff for quite a few years. Generally with me not only do I get a nice knot right under my shoulder blade but I will also have issues right between my biceps and triceps on my outer arm and when it gets really bad it will shoot all the way down into my elbow and sometimes affect my wrist.
My husbands tear did nto cause any loss of strength or motion but he was just in constant pain, mainly when he was at rest. If he used it it felt fine. Sleeping for him was horrible. I am similar where when mine is acting up it gove me no problems when I am active but once I settle down or do not exercise for a day or so it just has a dull ache.

I am assuming that the long vs short is ankle on the pole, more extended leg vs no ankle on the pole? In the "short" version you HAVE to be in the pocket, and by the "pocket" you have to have the pole in that fleshy side section between your hip bone and your rib cage. If it is riding at all on your rib cage that means most of the "stick" is on your inner thigh. If it is in the "pocket" the stick is dispersed between your side and your thigh.
-
Ummm…short leg vs long leg? And the inner pain is just what it is. I can say that it does get better, but I can also say that with having been off the pole for about 2 months and then going back to it my inside legs hang hurts like a mother!

Not exactly sure what you are trying to do? LM is not designed to be used as a stage. There is one girl here that had her dad build a stage around hers but that is not typical.
-
Yeah, the bills are just starting to come in. The surgery alone was almost $22000, that does not include the MRI's he had done prior at $2000 a piece nor any of his follow up or physical therapy. Luckily we have double insurance coverage. I am guessing that the grand total will be closer to $40000. Out of pocket alone right now is over $3000 before my insurance has thrown in monies. I cannot imagine anyone who does not have good coverage coughing up the funds. As they say, most households are one major injury away from bankruptcy.

I will also add that you can get away with styles in Cali and NY that you cannot get away with in the midwest.
-
There are quite a few styles that could pass as regular shoes. Look at any of the stores nowadays, most of the dressier heels could pass as stripper heels. I have a pair of G by Guess Mary Janes that look identical to the Pleaser Mary Janes that I have worn to company functions, and I have a pair of platform glitter heels (not THE glitter heels, but a glittered pair of shoes) that I have worn also. However my job is in a lab so nothing but steel toes on a daily basis.

My suggestion is to not push it and let it rest/heal properly. Take a look at these photos. My husband tore his several years back and just finally had surgery. He will be out of heavy lifting for minimum 4 months. What is better, a few weeks of rest or a $22000 surgery and 4 months+?

This was how I was taught to use the word: Used to refer to the woman or girl previously mentioned or implied.
In writing you would not customarily write "Mary will be at the gate at 4 pm to pick you up. I know you have never met Mary before, but Mary will be wearing a long purple coat and carrying a bouquet of roses. I have instructed Mary to take you directly to your hotel."
Just out of curiosity, how would that little blurb above be written instead?
-
Why are you poling? Do you hope to compete one day or are you only looking to do it for yourself? Do you like static tricks or do you like spins? These are the questions you need to answer.
-
Stupidity at its finest. There is no insurance company that will cover this. There is a place in downtown Columbus that has a pole studio attached to their bar and it has I think 2 poles inside the bar.
-
Lizzy's ceiling was concrete and not a true tray ceiling.
-
I learned something new today, too. Pronouns are quite commonplace in our language. I never knew they were offensive in other languages.
-
I believe that LizzyLiz810 had a tray ceiling at her studio. She does not get on teh forum much but she does post videos so I know she is around. You may want to send her a message through here.

I would find out specifically what brand PoleLaTeaz has as all brass poles are not the same. It depends on what alloy they use and some will be grippier than others.
I also have a love hate with brass. I have ripped skin off from it being too grippy and I have slid to the floor and for the life of me could not grip. I also seriously dislike the odor.
-
She does not mean twisted grip handspring. The TG shoulder mount is the SM that Felix uses (and pretty much every Aussie that comes out of Bobbie's).
-
No she does not and I really do not see her as the type that will.

^ says the girl who just had one of the most amazing spin shots ever taken by a photographer! And yes, I am posting it because it IS amazing!!

Have you had the same instructor for the entire time? Do you have another studio where you can take lessons? Do you have a pole at home? Veena lessons?
Sometimes just going to s different studio of being in front of another instructor can make a move "click". Aerial inverts are NOT easy and unless you have perfected a grounded invert there is no way you are going to be able to get it aerially. If you use any sort of momentum to invert then you really need to step back and focus on that.
Every studio has a difference of what they consider levels, but if aerial work is required for you to move on then I would not consider essentially wasting my money going into a level that you know you will not be able to do. Furthermore, if you try to do these moves without the proper foundation the chance of injuring yourself is high. So what is more important to you, saying that you are at a certian level or having proper form?
-
Try it. You might be amazed. At first I could only get maybe one or two hands but I have been able to to get further and further. If I remember correctly I saw Danielle and/or Lee doing it in one of their videos after they did a workshop with David Owen a few years back. I still cannot scorpion up with the pole between my legs and grab the pole though.
The other thing I have done is backbend over a stability ball. My main problem comes with my shoulders.
-
Lyme, yes, it is possible. It just takes time, patience and training. I have been surprised at how quickly my back has been responding just to pigeon pose. I do this religiously after my Zumba classes and I have gone from not being able to have my torso straight up and down to being able to.

I can also walk myself down into a back bend using the wall but I cannot lift from the ground into one.

There are aa LOT of dancers who use dubstep. I think there was even a challenge a few months back. If you go to videos, just the challenges, then scroll to December you will find lots of videos. I remember Becca Butcher dancing to dub quite a few times and one video that keeps on popping up is a Russian dancer dancing to the Zeds remix of Paradise Circus: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADs04O9T0Ks
