A couple years ago, I worked for an airline where I was required to sort and load freight. One night I was receiving freight at my workstation that was mis-routed and therefore did not belong at that workstation. Because this was the busy part of my shift, I had to toss box-after-box, piece-after-piece a good distance to the appropriate workstation. Doing this repetitive, overhand toss resulted in a pulled shoulder muscle where raising my arm over my head was accompanied with a sharp, stabbing pain. I never saw the dr. about it, injuries such as pulled muscles are common and being in good health, I thought it was unneccessary.

The pain and injury went away on its own and I thought I was healed. Yet, two years after my injury, I still get the sharp, stabbing pain in the same shoulder when I do my One Arm Overhead Triceps Extension exercise or when I sleep on my stomach with my arms at head-level, cradling my pillow.

Since I've been on the Zone meal plan, I do not have that shoulder pain!:laugh: Is this because of the Zone menus I have been eating? Is it the fish oil capsules I've been taking? Or is it something else?

Thanks for any thoughts!

Bridget,

It could definitely be a combination of the Zone Diet and the fish oil. Both are contributing to the lowering of inflammation in the body. If the pain was due to inflammation, then it is likely that the food/fish oil combination is working positively for you.

Way to go!

Bridget - I wanted to let you know that I am experiencing similar improvement with my hip pain.

I stared another thread on it, but wanted to let you know that I too think it's from being in the Zone. I'm not even taking fish oil (yet).

Best,
Rich
