[This is a little long-winded. Thanks in advance for reading! ] Hello! I've used the 'search' tool extensively and haven't found anything that seems to fit my problem. I'm hoping someone here will have encountered the same pain and issues I have and will have some input! I am a 37 year old right-handed 5.0 tennis player with a fairly strong serve. After taking a break from tennis for a few years (work), I dove back into it by playing 3-4 times per week and doing some minor strength training on a home gym. I had also changed from my old heavy Head racquet to a newer, lighter Wilson racquet (very stiff frame with stiff Polyester strings). About six months ago, I started having pain on the outside of the shoulder/upper arm which I could reproduce by holding my palm downward and raising my arm upward from the side of my body. The ortho doc said I had an inflamed bursa that was impinging the tendons in my upper arm and gave me a cortisone shot. This shot masked the pain for perhaps 2 weeks. During that time, I tried more rest and some exercises geared towards folks with rotator-cuff problems. There was no change in my condition and it eventually became more painful. At that point, I decided to try physical therapy. After two months of PT 3 times a week, my condition is worse than it has ever been. For the first two weeks, I assumed I was supposed to work through the pain and that probably made it worse. Now, I have even less mobility in the arm (can only reach a certain amount across the body - like if you wanted to scratch your back) and tennis serves and strokes hurt to the point of a stabbing pain at any point my arm is above my shoulder. It has completely ruined my game and has me very frustrated as I was finally getting back into tennis and enjoying myself. I recently had an MRI and an arthrography done on this shoulder and no tears were apparent with only slight tendinitis. The doc noticed a small cyst on my shoulder bone that could indicate a chronic rubbing of a tendon against that area. The only two options that seem to be available to me are another cortisone shot with more PT-type exercises (the previous 2 months didn't help any, so I'm dubious) and bone decompression via shoulder arthroscopy surgery (which I'm leaning towards - they'll shave a bit of the bone away to give the inflamed tendons more room). Has anyone here had these symptoms and gone through similar steps to the same result? Do you think that my racquet choice (stiff and light) and string choice might have contributed to my shoulder problem? I'm considering going to a more flexible racquet and string - even if it means changing the way I play. Any tips/suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I am hoping to call the surgeon this coming week. Many thanks, Ray
Sorry to hear about the shoulder problems, Ray. You say that inflammation is involved so I assume that you've been icing it regularly. Have you also tried ice massage? Sounds like your racket-string combination could definitely be a significant contributing factor. I know quite a few people that have developed shoulder and other arm problems from rackets that are too light. Most of these troublesome light rackets were also very stiff. The general rule of thumb is to go with the heaviest racket that feels comfortable for you, not the lightest. Seems like a lot of ppl that were using rackets weighing under 10 oz are now opting for rackets in the 11-12 oz range. I've also seen a number of ppl in these forums that have complained about shoulder or arm problems from using polyester strings. Apparently, some of the new polys are better than others. Ppl often use poly strings for only half of of the stringbed -- either the mains or the crosses. They will use a gut or a softer synthetic string for the other half. It is also common to string looser for polys -- at least 10% looser. Basic Facts About Frames & Strings
Thanks for the info! I had been icing it fairly regularly (especially after physical therapy exercises), but stopped as it just didn't seem like it was doing much at all. The physical therapists were massaging frequently during the sessions. However, they seemed to be more interested in poking their boney little fingers into the most painful areas and going "This hurts doesn't it?". I really have enjoyed the lighter/stiffer racquets since they have improved my volleying and control. However, I think you may be correct that they're not treating my body terribly well. Along with the shoulder problems, I also have a recurring tennis elbow-ish type of pain when gripping or twisting and a lower hand/wrist pain. Even though I was using dampeners, I think the impact vibrations were rattling through my hand, up my arm, and into my shoulder. I plan on calling the surgeon's office today, asking a few questions about the procedure, and then making an appointment for the operation. The arthroscopy seems to be the least invasive option. Since my team and I made it to the state finals (we play in late May), I might be back on my feet by then as well. Phooey on getting old!
Great post. Moving to a frame in the 100 head size range, flex in the low 60s, weight 11.5 or so with a decent SW (say 320-330) and a softer string set-up would really help. I would also stay away from frames over 27 inches as that could add to your pain. Since you are a 5.0, I am guessing you swing on the faster side and have a long swing. With a frame with more mass (and softer), the frame would be doing more work and take more of the shock than with a stiffer lighter frame. Icing down after playing is also very good advice as it will help control inflammation.

Awesome! Thanks for the good and specific information folks! Part of me is still thinking I should give my shoulder time to heal naturally. But, with the 2-3 month break I took from tennis and all the therapy, it only got worse. Guess I just need to suck it up and let em poke holes in me. Thanks again for all the info so far! Keep it comin!
Spittle, sorry to hear about your shoulder. The first thing that should go is your stiff, light racquet and polyester strings. As a 5.0 player I am surprized that you would play with such a light racquet. Try a 11.5-12.5 racquet with a soft multi filament or even better use gut. Is the doc you saw a sports medicine specialist who's expertise is shoulders or is he a generalist? Definitely get a second opinion from a sports shoulder specialist before considering an operation-common sense 101. Its good that you had an arthegram MRI but have someone else look at it-viewing films are very subjective, what one doc sees someone else may see something entirely different. This injury should not be such a mystery if you see a shoulder specialist. Do not even consider an operation until you know exactly what the problem is backed by a second opinion. Also, did your shoulder get better after rehab regarding pain and strength, only to be reaggravated once you started playing? This would indicate a racquet and string problem. Did your pain start gradually after you made an equipment change-strings or racquet? How did the pain come on, suddenly or over time? If after rehab you did not have any improvement in strength or pain, you may have definitely torn something and need an operation. Has anyone said it might be a rotator cuff problem. I am surprized your doc gave you a cortizone shot so quickly without an Mri-sounds odd.
Thanks for the reply! I had taken a few years off from tennis and noticed that my old, heavy Head racquet was getting a little long in the tooth. Figured I'd try what all the whippersnappers were using these days. A year ago, I started back at 4.0 level and gradually worked my way up. Initially, I went to a general practitioner (prescription of NSAIDs of course). Then, I went to a hand and upper extremity specialist three times. At the time of the first visit, all I had was a fairly mild pain on the outside of my shoulder/upper arm area. After doing various resistance exercises with the doc, he suggested that I had an inflamed bursa and should give it rest and do various exercises to strenghten the muscles surrounding the bursa. He offered to give me a cortisone shot and I accepted. One shot is my limit as I've heard what repeated shots can do. After the second session with the hand/upper extremity specialist, he referred me to a sports surgeon that has good experience with shoulder sports injuries. Both of these specialists are with Resurgens Orthopaedics in Lawrenceville GA. Upon examining the me, the MRI, and arthogram xray, he said I had two options. I could give it time, rest more, do non-paining exercises, and see if it improves. Or I could have an arthroscopy done where they poke a few holes in my shoulder and shave a little bit of bone to give the inflamed tendons room to move and room to heal. Since I had already gone through 2 months of physical therapy while avoiding tennis with no favorable result, I'm seriously considering the surgery. Unfortunately, it's hard to tell what exactly triggered my problem. Around the same time, I dove heavily into tennis, did a good amount of heavy yard work (120 40lb bags of stone), and did some strength training on the home gym. I'm convinced the racquets had something to do with it, but my vigorous return to activity may have contributed as well. But, yes, the pain was gradual until it got to the point that serving and overheads are fairly excruciating. Fortunately, I won't have to worry about using my current racquets (Wilson KSurge) as I have 'dispatched' them in frustration. :shock: So far, I've had 3 doctors look at the MRI (all from Resurgens however). Their impression is that I have mild tendinosis of the supraspinatus tendon, no partial or full thickness rotator cuff tear and an intact labrum and biceps tendon. The sports specialist believes that the cyst that shows up on the MRI is from chronic rubbing of a tendon on that area. Nothing is stopping me from taking a break for 2 months and postponing any decision about surgery until then. I'm just an impatient person lol. Thanks again for the feedback/questions. Definitely something I need to think about.
I had a similar pain my shoulder as described in your original post. I did the cortisone injection with no relief and PT, also with no relief. I had x-rays and MRIs, which revealed an impingement. I was referred to an orthopedic surgeon for a procedure called sub-acromial decompression/distal clavicle excision, which is an arthroscopic procedure. Having received no relief from conservative treatments, I elected to have the surgery. The surgeons shaved the underside of the acromion, cleaned out some fraying of the posterior labrum, and cleaned out the inflamed bursa. I am now three days post-op. My shoulder a littlel sore, but I'm actually moving it around pretty good. The doctors expect I can get back on court for light rallying in two weeks, and back to serving in about a month. Best of all, the pain I had is expected to be gone...permanently. I'd recommend considering the SAD/DCE surgery if ALL conservative methods fail. Assuming you can go without tennis for a few weeks, it may be a viable, long-term solution to get rid of your shoulder pain.
Thanks for the info, bronco_mba! I just read the other thread (near this one at the moment) and would like to get all the details that you feel might be important to know (surgery itself, rehab, etc). I'm guessing you chose to go under general anesthesia? Good to hear you went through the surgery without complication! Any info you think I might need to know, I'm all ears! Thanks again!
The surgeon didn't give me much of a choice...so yes, the procedure was done under general anesthesia. The whole thing took 33 minutes, though in my world, it took no time at all. You can contact me offline at mgbrown23atgmail.com with specific questions.
Do you feel tingling in your fingers and does your hand get numb? If so, you may have an inflammed nerve. If you stop playing for a while, the symptoms should subside. I recommend icing the shoulder constantly and if you decide to play anyway, use some sort of menthol rub before you play and make sure you ice the shoulder after you play.
I had rotator cuff repair and decompression done about 3 years ago. It took me about 4 months to regain full range of motion and strength. My shoulder has been absolutely pain free since then. In fact it has better range than my non dominant shoulder. Unfortunately I can't say the same for my elbow and wrist. I'm going tomorrow to have PRP done on both joints.
Rickson, unfortunately my symptoms seem to be much like those of bronco_mba. I can't reach across my chest to scratch the back of my other shoulder without considerable pain. Overhead motions and various twistings of the arm give me a sharp twinge in the upper front/side of the shoulder. The lowest the pain has gone is maybe halfway down my bicep/tricep on the outside of my arm. Currently, even stirring a pot of soup will give me a good bit of pain. My problem now is trying to find a surgeon that will take the time to discuss my options. I finally decided to follow my gut feeling and give this last surgeon a pass (personality conflict, not having things explained, if I see these folks for more than 5minutes - after waiting for 75mins - I'm lucky). Does anyone know of a good orthopedic surgeon in the Atlanta area (or even southeast)? Again, thanks for all the feedback and info.
Spittle, its good that you are taking your time. Find out who the top sports medicine specialists are who concentrate mainly on shoulders and schedule an appt. Before you consider an operation, know exactly what the problem is-a good specialist should be able to take the guess work out of the diagnoses and give you the best options and prognoses. Also, besides your racquet and strings, how is your technique on the serve? Have someone check that out to see if that also may have caused your problem-maybe toss not out front, hitting behind you, ect. Good luck!
I went with David J. Chao @ OASIS MSO in San Diego. My primary care doctor works with him on the San Diego Charger's medical staff and referred me. If it were me (and it recently was), I'd go with the surgeon professional athletes go to. I ran a quick Google search for the orthopedic surgeon of the Atlanta Falcons and came up with Plas T. James, M.D. in Atlanta. From the look of his website, it appears his practice focuses primarily on the spine, but I bet with a quick call to his office they could refer you to the best shoulder surgeon in the Atlanta area. Ultimately, you may be constrained based on your insurance company, but if you get to choose your provider, why not go with the best? A note on doctor personalities: the best surgeons don't always make the most time for their patients or have the nicest demeanor. Ultimately, I'll take the one that does the best work, gets the best results, and has the fewest complications! Just my 2 cents...
It might be worth giving this guy a call: Dr. Xavier A. Duralde Peachtree Orthopedic Clinic Orthopedic Surgeon to the Atlanta Braves since 1998 Specializes in shoulders Credentials are impressive (Harvard A.B., Columbia M.D.) Offices in Atlanta and Peachtree http://www.pocatlanta.com/content.cfm?page=duralde
Ray, I just went through the surgery. My diagnosis was a partial tear of the rotator, bone spur and burcitias(?). After 8-10 weeks of rehab, I am back to playing. Good luck in what ever you choice.
bronco, glad to hear you're doing well after surgery and the better news is that you're not too far off from hitting the courts again. my impingement has been a long slow process but i have noticed improvement in the last month. at the advice of my physio i have stepped up the resistance on the bands i've been using for strengthening. after our next visit later this month she will recommend to my gp that i have an mri done. and thanks to canada's universal health care it will be 5-8 months before that happens so i'll continue what i've already been doing till then and see how it goes. can i make a request that you keep a log here on the forums as to the progress of your recovery. i'm certainly and interested party.
Again, thank you all very much for your tips, information, and support! Tomorrow will be a busy day of calling various physicians and dropping the ol' pooch off for stitch removal (she recently had ACL surgery).
Take it slow with this decision. After playing and serving too much without any strength training, I just quit playing tennis for six years. After moving to Colorado, I ended up in the Ortho for the Denver Nuggets (1983) who told me I needed immediate surgery. I chose to continue my break from tennis instead. I couldn't brush my teeth with my R hand ... couldn't shake hands R-handed ... couldn't turn a door knob ... etc. After about three years of rest (and being bored) I started lifting lightly and properly ... and continuing my training and competing in karate which I'd started (partly) because I couldn't play tennis. Back about 1988 I asked my Chiropractor about my shoulder problems. He examined me and determined my scapula needed adjustment (??!!!). One adjustment and I noticed a reduction in discomfort. Another, about two months later, and I found I could do everything R-handed again. (I've had one more adjustment, maybe two years after the 2nd. I haven't needed another since about 1990. I've been playing tennis competitively for seven years now. I just wish I'd looked into what DCs can do earlier. I might have done some damage in the Open and 35s Divisions before the years caught up to me.... ::Sigh:: Now ... I'd always check to see if a DC could fix me non-surgically before I chose the knife. - KK
This is excellent advice-go with a specialist who treats professional athletes! Thats what my friend did back a few years ago when he had rotator cuff surgery. He was very happy with the results. This doctor saw something on the MRI that other docs did not and his surgery was a success. Shoulders can be complicated compared do other joints so go with an expert who treats athletes!
I'll be sure to update my progress on post-SAD/DCE for interested parties. I don't want to bore anyone or fill up the boards with unnecessary (or unintelligible) posts! I would agree that ALL conservative treatments should be considered/explored before electing surgery. We've added a new one (chiropractic) to the list to go along with ART, traditional physical therapy, corisone injection, stretching, exercise regime, rest, etc. I'm not advocating surgery. However, given my experience thus far, I don't think the surgical option (arthroscopic) is as bad as one might think. The duration of the improvement (life long) and the results (no pain) certainly speak for themselves. Good luck to the OP. I hope you're able to find a surgeon you are comfortable with, if that is the direction you decide. Please check back with the boards and let us know how things are going.
Aye, will do! I'm going to get copies of the arthrogram xray and MRI tomorrow and also make an appointment with the doctor you Googled. Turns out he's in my insurance network, so it will be covered. I shall return!
Posting an update on my recovery now two plus weeks removed from arthroscopic SAD/DCR surgery for those interested. I regained full range of motion in the shoulder about one week after surgery. I had minimal pain on most planes of motion; the only one that really generated discomfort was reaching across the chest to touch the left shoulder with the right hand. I'm told this moves the head of the humerus in close proximity with the part of the acromion shaved during surgery. This gets less painful with each passing day, presumably as the bone heals. Physical therapy has progressed well to date. I have been going three times per week thus far. The first two sessions were relatively easy, simple passive stretching and range of motion exercises. I have now progressed to a light weight training routine (about 3 lb dumbbell) moving the shoulder in every way imaginable. The PT also manually resists in planes of motion not amenable to weights or pulleys. PT has suggested I start practicing slow-motion serving. I've been swinging the racquet lightly over the past few days. I have a little discomfort at the end of the backswing on forehands and a little on the follow through; 2HBH is not generating any discomfort. I'd say I'm 4 or 5 days from being back out on the court for volleying and very light rallying. I'm probably a few weeks away from resuming light serving. The PT would probably say I'm rushing, but I find he's overly conservative in his estimates of recovery time. He didn't expect me to regain full range of motion so quickly. I report steady progress towards recovery thus far.
good to hear you're doing well bronco! i have an appointment with my PT this weekend where she will finally make the recommendation to my GP that i get on the wait list for an MRI as i haven't made any progress since our last visit.
TheShaun - I have a friend in Alberta who was delayed so long for the MRI ... what should have been an easy outpatient surgery on her back became a very serious and only partially successful event. She is in pain and has many restrictions because "the system" is so slow. Do you have to "know somebody" to get closer to the front of the MRI line? (And hopefully you do, if so....) Good luck! - KK
KK, yes you need to know someone from what i've heard. and i do know someone but not sure if it can help in the MRI department. Unfortunately my GP of 20+ years has recently retired and i'm sure he would have been able to help. but now my file has been handed to another GP who may or may not know the difference between his *** and his elbow.
thanks for the well-wishes. i appreciate all the support and interest in my recovery. as i transition from recovery to getting back to playing, my focus will turn on developing shoulder and core strength, of which there are many useful threads. i'd appreciate input in that department. i'm sorry to hear of your difficulties in simply getting an MRI ordered. i take for granted how efficiently i was able to move through the system after conservative options failed. please keep the boards updated on your progress, and i'll be sure to do the same.
TAKE NO PRISONERS! GIVE 'EM HELL BRONCO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now we'll find out if they put in that bionic shoulder you asked for Best of luck. Let us know how it goes.
I have torn rotator cuff muscles, torn labrium, fluid on the socket, etc. I used extreme rehab/weight lifting to strengthen the muscles around and it's been holding out for a couple of years so far. A friend of mine when in for the removal of the impingement and they found torn muscles galore - which didn't show very well on the MRI. His shoulder has no pain anymore - and that is even without much rehab as his only weight training is declining 12 oz curls. Good luck with your shoulder!
Well I always have an injury, right now got a left shoulder with muscular problem and the right shoulder the bicep tendon was out of place and it affected muscles round it, had this problem for about 9 months. Went to a physiotherapist and they have made it a lot better, currently rehabilitating, or trying to, it is a pain, and you seem to be in a bit of a hole, much sympathy for you, it is really bad for us sportsman to have such bad injuries isn't it... I really couldn't tell you about the racket thing, demo a few perhaps and see which is more forgiving on your body...
FWIW check my posting here: Best arm friendly racquets? http://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/showthread.php?t=58089
Take a break (up to 6 months) and reinforce your shoulder with surgical tubing: http://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/showthread.php?t=152331& If you have pain with it when doing 3x15 series simulating/shadowing FH, BH and Serve, don't come back yet to tennis. DO NOT. Wait until you're strong enough.
I just found out that I have a small posterior labrum tear today, as well as a small cyst on my shoulder. Doctor said I should do PT for 6 weeks. He said surgery will take about 4 months to up to normal again. Yikes.
Spittle, Bronco, etc....glad to hear surgery's not (for some) cruel and unusual punishment. I've played/quit/treated/pilled/ignored/whined a bad shoulder since the '80s, (hit an overhead off the tip of the racket, behind me, jumping...cold night etc...) back when at the time surgery was basically "cut it all apart and good luck" - so I didn't do it. I'm sure some people's goes away, but mines like an old friend.....as a result of torn tendons last year in my ankle (had surgery last Fri), got a new MRI done on the shoulder...reads "torn Labrum, superior and anterior, not including bicep tendon....fluid in the sack (bursitis), tendentious (infraspinatus tendon).....once I get past the ankle surgery, I'm sure I'll be in for the shoulder. Sometimes, they don't just go away. Bronco, keep us posted - your experience is music to my ears....(or sundry other parts). And Spittle, beware as previously said, of the racket...during this whole mess, I'd gotten a cortisone shot in the shoulder - played great for a week with my hot-shot sophomore, using a K6.1 95 Team...love the racket, went light to help the shoulder....for my efforts, got a bad elbow, first time in 40 years......lesson there, beware playing our hard game with a light racket - the arm need some heft to the frame, or it's like throwing a tennis ball hard, versus a baseball....and trust me, the worst of my aches and pains is the elbow.
dtd, I hope recovery from ankle surgery goes well. Please keep the boards apprised of your shoulder situation; I think there is a fair amount of interest in individual experiences with shoulder surgery on the boards. It sounds like from the MRI report you are looking at a more extensive shoulder surgery than I had. For those tracking my progress, I'm now nearly six weeks post arthroscopic SAD/DCR. I've been out to hit 6 or 7 times now; two more sessions planned this week. It has been absolutely wonderful to get back to the comeraderie and competition inherent in the wonderful game of tennis. I am no longer having discomfort on forehands or volleys. I have been doing slow serving motions without the ball; I anticipate light serving in another week to two weeks. I was discharged from physical therapy earlier this week (9 total sessions) with instructions to add motion (serves/overheads) as my shoulder allows. At this point, the shoulder is strong, I'm simply waiting for the bone to heal. I can already tell I'm going to be able to go all out on serves, overheads and forehands without any fear of pain once I'm completely healed. I'm targeting to get back to my mixed doubles team for a match on 3/30. I will continue to keep interested posters apprised of my progress on this thread.
Thanks Bronco, I'll post a bit more after I see the Doc next week - surgery pains gone, now just a nuisance, crutches and all that fun. I'm hoping my shoulder might fall nearer to yours then it sounds.....at least at the moment, your results sound enticing...
Another update: My partner showed up late to our hitting session last night. While waiting, I decided to hit a few serves. I started out tentative, timing was off a little, and I was expecting pain/discomfort in the shoulder. After hitting five or ten serves, I thought to myself that things felt pretty good. So I gradually ramped up the pace. I ended up hitting about 30 serves before my partner showed. All I can say is, "wow!" The flat serves were jumping off the strings, kickers were jumping and slices were spinning out wide. Best of all, NO PAIN! I kept waiting for it, but it never showed. I was expecting to want to cut my arm off when I woke up this morning, but it felt good. My recovery has gone better and faster than expected. The more I get back out on court, the more convinced I am that my pre-op shoulder was holding back from progressing; almost like the shoulder pain was preventing me from going for my serves and shots. I've got a ways to go before the shoulder is completely healed, but I'm already starting to enjoy the advantages of playing pain free.
bronco mba good to hear successful story. I have little shoulder problem myself. It only hurts when I serve. I am trying ultrasound treatment now.
Another update: I'm back to unrestricted playing @ 40 days post-op. I played three sets of doubles last night, with very good results. The rust showed a bit on timing, but it was great to get out and compete. Admittedly, the shoulder was pretty tired in the third set; I had to back off my serve quite a bit. Physical conditioning seems to be the limiting factor. Waking up this morning, the shoulder was just fine. Too bad I can't say the same for my abs, back, etc.! I play one more time this week before heading out to Indian Wells for the Pacific Life Open. If anyone else is attending, let me know! I've entered a singles tourney in early April to better guage the progress of my shoulder before heading into Spring League.
Hi Spittle: I am in a similar situation as you. I am 35 now. Since graduating high school in 1991, where I was on a tennis team, I had not played regularly since then. So in 2006 at the age of 34 I decided to make the effort to get into playing more. I have had similar shoulder issues as you, however, my symptoms have not gotten as bad as your's sound yet. I was wondering if you may want to share via e-mail what remedies you have tried, and I can let you know what I have tried that helps. I would also be curious to know if you did get the surgery and if it has helped. If you are interested, feel free to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Thanks.
Question about NSAID I had a shoulder MRI... Low grade tear of spurpinatus tendon..with resultant mild to moderate bursitis. Ortho recommended PT, NSAID..not surgery...Gave me a cortisone injection. He didn't specify how much/often to take the ibuprofen...said it would depend on pain... I do know that NSAIDs also reduce imflammation... So I wonder if any of you have taken 800 mg prescrip ibu 2-3 times for a similar imflammation situation. thank you, ken
I was taking 500mg twice a day for two months, along with the PT and Cortsone shot for pretty much the same problems you're having.
My doc said the same thing. Do PT for 6 weeks. So far PT is working out, the pain isn't as bad. I feel my shoulder is a lot stronger. Make sure you put ice after each session of tennis.
just curious but ibuoprofen come in 200 mg intervals.... Prescription is 800mg and regular drug store non prescript are 200mg
Hey folks! Well, it's been a whirlwind so far and I see no light at the end of the tunnel yet. Here's a little update as pertains to my shoulder issues/remedies. After waiting about 5 weeks to see the shoulder specialist for the Atlanta Braves, he studied my MRIs and took another set of xrays for giggles. According to him, the bone that they normally shave off during the arthroscopic surgery is 'perfect' in my case (the underside of the bone that's on top of your shoulder). I have no abnormality that would be contributing to tendon impingement and the Doc recommended physical therapy instead of surgery at this point. As a test, he injected me with a diagnostic fluid into the bursa that duplicates the results of a cortisone shot but only for a few minutes. For this doctor, a determining factor whether or not to do surgery is to see if there is less pain after the injection. In my case, there was no change in the pain whatsoever - still felt stabbing on the outer arm when raising it laterally away from my body and a dull pain on the inner right shoulder when reaching across my body to scratch my left shoulder. He prescribed some PT with the specialists that do the PT for the Atlanta Braves pitchers. (The only reason I mention these folks deal with the Braves is that they ought to know what they're doing) I had my first appointment with them this last Thursday. I had explained to the therapist that I had 6 weeks of 3x/week PT in November and December with no improvement and actual worsening of symptoms. After doing various tests and having my range of motion measured, he had some interesting tidbits of information regarding my situation. It seems that the muscles in the front of my arm (pecs, front of right shoulder, above shoulder) are overdeveloped in comparison with the girly muscles around my shoulder blade. This problem is causing my entire scapula (the shoulder blade and the boney 'roof' above your shoulder - will call the roof 'upper scapula' from now on) to pivot forward since the rear muscles aren't able to compensate properly for the pull that the front ones have on it. This pivoting is forcing the forward edge of the upper scapula to dip closer to the humerus (upper arm bone) and squeezing the tendons that slide inbetween the two. So, I am doing various exercises to strengthen the muscles that surround my right shoulder blade at the moment. I've only been doing it for a few days now, but I *think* I can already sense a difference as to where my shoulder rests. I'll be doing 2 weeks of this type of exercise and then progressing to more weight, I assume. I'm told it will still be several weeks before my symptoms start to disappear. I certainly hope these doctors are on the right track with me. After my first bout of PT, I'm a bit skeptical that MORE of it will do me any good. But, I'm willing to give it the old college try! Thanks again for all the great tips and recommendations from those on the board. I did have one quick question: Can anyone recommend a good cold/ice shoulder wrap? I'm looking for something that will totally surround the shoulder with icy goodness for after exercises and, eventually, tennis. Thanks!

Posted Tue 27th of August 2013
It was the beginning of the summer, and I was amping up for an amazing summer of hanging out with friends, and having a great time. Almost every single one of my friends decided to spend their summer in other counties though, something my mom wouldn't let me do, no matter how much I begged. She worked a lot, so I got left home almost the entire day, she had built her own company which consisted of a lot of traveling and me being left home alone. I really didn't mind being left home all that much, besides the fact that the only person I really had to keep me company was Adrianna our maid, who spoke little to no English. She also was only there every other day, from noon until seven, when she was there though she usually cooked me lunch and dinner, and cleaned the entire house. I had just turned sixteen a couple months ago, I had gotten my license which gave me a lot of freedom, but my mom hadn't bought me a car yet.
One day, a couple weeks into the summer my mom came home from work, she informed me that she had to go to London, and Hong Kong to deal with a huge warehouse manufacturing mistake that was made. She would be gone for five days, and her business partner Brandie had to go with her, so I was going to have to watch Brandies thirteen year old daughter Brianna. I hadn't seen her in probably two years, before my mom and Brandie started their company they were best friends, they both didn't work, so I grew up being around Brianna a lot. Once my mom and dad divorced, my dad moved to New York, I see him once or twice a year when I go to New York. My mother and I stayed in Los Angeles, so sending me to his house while she travels doesn't really work. The next morning I woke up to the sound of people down stairs, not a sound I am used to since I am always home alone. I got out of bed and walked down the stairs, Brandie and my mother were in the foyer talking and there was a driver in a black suit taking my mom's luggage to the car. She saw me and beckoned me to come over to them, I was half asleep, it was 8:30 in the morning and I am a dick when I get woken up early, something I usually apologize for later.
"Anthony we are leaving, Briana is sleeping in the guest bedroom in the west wing of the house, love you and here." she reached into her purse and handed me a set car keys.
"What are these?" I asked.
"Keys to your new car, have fun, be responsible." She kissed me on the cheek gave me a hug and got into the Escalade waiting outside for them.
I walked outside and sitting in the driveway was the car I asked her for when I turned fifteen, and was so disappointed I didn't get on my sixteenth birthday. She had gotten me a G-Class Mercedes Benz, I opened up the door it had white leather interior, and dark wood detailing. I ran into the house ecstatic, but hungry, and it wasn't a day that Adriana came, so I had to cook for myself. I made myself a bowl of cereal, and started watching a recording of the Lakers game from the night before. Briana walked into the kitchen in pink shorts that you would sleep in, and a white tank top, I totally forgot that she was even at the house. She looked so much different than when I saw her last, when she was 11 years old. She had blonde hair now instead of light brown, she had blue eyes, she was about five foot six inches, she had boobs now, probably around a C-cup, and an amazing ass!
She sat down at the island and poured a bowl of cereal, it was kind of awkward since we hadn't talked in or seen each other in two years, and I was sitting there in my boxers with no shirt on. I had brown hair, I was around six foot tall, brown eyes, I had abs and I was toned, I wasn't huge like a bodybuilder or anything but I worked out at least four times a week with my trainer. I told her I was going to go take a shower, and if she needed anything that I would be done in about ten minutes. I walked up the stairs into my bedroom, took my boxers off and took my shower. Running through my mind was how much Brianna had changed, and how fucking sexy she was now. When I got out I walked into my bedroom and I didn't have any clean boxers in my room, so I walked down stairs to the laundry room, with my towel wrapped around my waist. All the clothes in the laundry basket were mine, so I just grabbed the entire laundry basket to take it to my room, Brianna was still in the kitchen. When I was talking through the kitchen I was using both hands to carry the laundry basket, because my mom insists in having fucking twenty pound antic laundry baskets. I walked past the fridges and my towel fell to the ground. Brianna's mouth dropped open, because I was standing there in front of her butt ass naked with everything hanging out. I dropped the basket of clothes and reached for my towel to cover myself. She kind of jumped up out of her seat and was in shock, I told her how sorry I was for that happening and went to pick up the laundry basket again.
"I kind of liked it though." She reached back and took my towel off
"uhhh" I was absolutely speechless, did this sexy ass thirteen year old just make a move towards having sex with me?
My dick started to get really hard, as she got really close to me, my dick slid in between her legs and she kissed me on my neck, then on my lips. I slid my tongue into her mouth and started making out with her in my kitchen. I was a virgin I hadn't ever had sex before, I hadn't even had a blowjob before, I had gotten one hand job by my ex girlfriend when I was fifteen. She started to moan as she slide back and fourth on my dick, I could feel her getting wet through her shorts. I picked her up and carried her upstairs, threw her on my bed and got on top of her, I pulled her shorts down off her and threw them. She had a sexy pink laced thong on that said "try me". I slid her tank top off and started sucking on her tit, every time I would move my tongue she would let out a moan. She grabbed my dick and started rubbing it, then I got on the bed on my back and she got down and started sucking my dick. I wanted to cum in her mouth so badly, but I wanted more, I wanted to fuck her right, I wanted to cum inside of her. I grabbed her hair and started pushing her up and down on my dick, she sucked on my balls while rubbing my dick with both of her hands.
I laid her on my bed on her back, and slide her thong off, she had a little bit of pubic hair but not a lot, I got down and started eating her pussy out, it tasted so good. Her grabbing my hair and pulling me deeper into her pussy felt so good. She was moaning and saying my name. I started fingering her while licking her clitoris, I wanted to cum so bad just eating her out, I got up, opened her legs, lined my dick up to go into her pussy. I started pushing in and the look on her face was scared but ready, it wasn't warm, it was hot, I started fucking her, it was the best feeling I had ever felt in my life. She was in pain I could tell she was a virgin and there was a little bit of blood but not a lot. I started kissing her all over and sucking on her tits, she was scratching my back and pulling me deeper into her from my ass. I couldn't take it anymore I started to erupt and she let out a scream and grabbed onto my tightly. I rolled over onto the bed next to her and took a deep breath thinking, what the fuck just happened?
"We are using a condom next time." she said calmly.

Getting pumped on Formutech Volatile!
Just got done with my leg and shoulder workout. My legs were nice and full today. I slept on my shoulder weird, so wasn't sure how I was going to do working them out today, but had a good session. It looks like I have enough Volatile to last me one more workout, so my final review will be coming up tomorrow night or Tuesday. I have been really impressed with Volatile. I have seen my best strength gains with legs and shoulder. I have been lifting for 8 years and I think I hit a little bit of a flat period prior to taking Volatile. Volatile really got me pumped to push it harder and see a few PRs in just 1 months use.
Shoulder Dumbbell Press: 3 sets of 12(65lbs), 10(70lbs), 8(75lbs)
Hammer Strength Shoulder Press: 3 sets of 12(115), 10(125), 8(135)
Lateral Cable raises: 3 sets of 12(50), 10(55), 8(60)
Dumbbell Front Raises: 3 sets of 12(35),10(45), 8(45) Went up 5lbs on my second set from earlier this week.
Shrugs: 3 sets of 12 (270), 10(270), 8(290)
Squats: 3 sets of 12(245), 10(295), 8(325) Same as earlier this week, but still the most I have ever done with this amount of reps.
Leg Curls: 3 sets of 12(140), 10(150), 8(160)
Leg Extension: 3 sets of 12(150), 10(160), 8(170)
Sitting Calf Raise: 3 sets of 12(135), 10(145), 8(155)
No cardio today. Last workout tomorrow with Volatile and it is my favorite (back and biceps) so looking forward to it.Formutech Level II log: http://anabolicminds.com/forum/supplement-reviews-logs/248305-taking-next-level.html#post4455230 - 05-28-2013, 09:04 AM

Tighter Oversight on Oil Trading
Less than two weeks after a public scolding from U.S. senators, the federal agency that regulates futures trading is rolling out new efforts aimed at boosting transparency in energy markets. The measures come as soaring oil prices have prompted new scrutiny of the role of energy speculators (BusinessWeek, 5/29/08).
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) said on May 29 that it will work with British regulators to monitor large trades of the benchmark U.S. crude on the ICE Futures Europe exchange in London. British authorities also will notify the CFTC when traders exceed certain trading thresholds that are already in place for the U.S. market.
The CFTC will also for the first time require traders in the energy markets to provide monthly reports of trading linked to commodities indexes. "With these initiatives, we are improving our oversight capabilities and bringing greater sunshine to these markets," said a statement attributed to CFTC Acting Chairman Walt Lukken and commissioners Michael Dunn, Jill Sommers, and Bart Chilton.
On May 30 the Wall Street Journal reported that the CFTC has also expanded an investigation into allegations of short-term manipulation of crude oil prices through a price-reporting system overseen by Platts, the energy data unit of the McGraw-Hill Cos. (MHP), which also owns BusinessWeek. There is suspicion that energy companies and traders at times issued a deluge of orders during a period Platts uses to determine reported prices for physical oil transactions, and then used the possibly distorted prices to profit in other markets, the Journal reported. CFTC spokesman Dennis Holden on Friday declined to "confirm nor deny" any agency probe of trading manipulation. Kathleen Tanzy, a Platts spokeswoman, says the company does not comment on investigations, adding that Platts "has full confidence in its price assessment processes. We support appropriate market oversight by regulators, and have been and continue to be in active discussions with both government officials and market participants globally to enhance transparency and integrity in the energy markets," Tanzy said.
Watching Trades on Futures Exchanges
Agency officials were called to a May 20 Senate hearing (BusinessWeek.com, 5/21/08) on the role of market speculation and how regulators monitor trading in energy futures. Senator Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) told one official that the CFTC needed to "muscle up" because "the people of America are about to pick up pitchforks." The oversight effort also came two days after Senator Jeff Bingaman (D-N.M.), chairman of the Senate Energy Committee, wrote the CFTC to complain about "glaringly incomplete" data regarding oil trading and to demand a fuller explanation of how it tracks trading.
The CFTC's moves will expand surveillance of U.S. oil trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NMX) as well as international trades on ICE Futures Europe, a subsidiary of the Atlanta-based IntercontinentalExchange (ICE). Currently, the U.S.-regulated futures exchange, Nymex, holds approximately 75% of the outstanding futures contracts while the British-regulated futures exchange, ICE Futures Europe, has the remaining market share of approximately 25%.
The CFTC said it reached an agreement with Britain's Financial Services Authority (FSA) and ICE Futures Europe for expanded information-sharing for surveillance of energy commodity contracts with U.S. delivery points, including the West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil futures contracts that trade on both the New York Mercantile Exchange and ICE Futures Europe in London.
Still Not Enough, Some Say
The agency also said it will immediately begin to require energy traders to provide monthly reports of so-called index trading, or trading by institutional investors of indexes linked to commodities, such at the Goldman Sachs Commodities Index. These trades, which involve pension funds and university endowments investing in futures via investment banks, are coming under increased scrutiny from Congress. Between 2003 and 2008, investment in index funds tied to commodities has grown from $13 billion to $260 billion, according to Atlanta, Ga.-based investment strategy firm Sixth Man Research. Some analysts to believe the influx of trading dollars is accelerating oil's price rise.
Some analysts offered cautious praise for the CFTC announcement. "Anything that gets us closer to transparency and understanding of this market is a good thing," says Peter Beutel, president of the energy risk management firm Cameron Hanover in New Canaan, Conn. "It's not revolutionary, but it's a step in the right direction."
"It seems like the CFTC has awakened from their long slumber," said Michael Masters, managing member of Masters Capital Management, a Virgin Islands-based hedge fund. "It's a first step, but definitely more is needed." Masters testified at the May 20 Senate hearing, calling for more CFTC oversight in energy futures trading on overseas exchanges and the unregulated over-the-counter market.
Others say the moves are more rhetoric than substance. "They mention bringing greater sunshine to the marketplace without offering one iota of additional information for the public," says Stephen Briese, author of The Commitments of Traders Bible and CommitmentsOfTraders.org, a site that focuses on U.S. futures markets. "That's not my idea of transparency."

Cristiano Ronaldo eclipsed Ferenc Puskas' goalscoring record for Real Madrid with a hat-trick in a remarkable 7-3 thrashing of Sevilla.
Ronaldo struck a first-half penalty before netting twice in the second period to become the club's fourth-highest Liga goalscorer with 157 goals, one more than the legendary Puskas.
On a record-breaking night at Santiago Bernabeu, Gareth Bale also capped his first start at home with two first-half strikes.
Madrid saw their 3-0 lead reduced before the break as an Ivan Rakitic penalty and close-range strike from Carlos Bacca brought the visitors to within a goal.
The hosts, however, turned on the style in the second half as Karim Benzema and Ronaldo both found the net twice to seal a comfortable victory, despite Rakitic curling home a third for the visitors. Rakitic also missed from the spot and Stephane M'Bia was sent off for two yellow cards in a frantic encounter.
Carlo Ancelotti made four changes from Saturday's Clasico defeat to Barcelona, while Sevilla – without an away win in 13 months – made a single change from their victory over Osasuna.
Madrid enjoyed the perfect start following a low-key performance at Camp Nou and took the lead through Bale in the 14th minute.
Isco ran the ball out of his own half and played a neat ball into Benzema, the Frenchman rolled the ball back into the Wales international and he fired into the top corner.
Sevilla were struggling to find any end product despite neat build-up play when they did have the ball, and their task became even tougher when Bale netted his second of the night.
Madrid were awarded a free-kick 25 yards from goal after a crude challenge by Rakitic on Ronaldo in the 26th minute. Bale took the set piece and saw his effort deflect off the wall to wrong-foot Beto as it flew into the opposite corner.
The hosts moved 3-0 ahead after some poor defending from Fernando Navarro allowed Isco to dispossess him on the edge of the area. The defender then brought the forward down inside the area and Ronaldo made no mistake from the spot.
Sevilla were given a way back into the game when Sergio Ramos bundled Diogo Figueiras to the floor in the 38th minute and they had a penalty of their own.
Rakitic grabbed the ball and made no mistake with a well-placed spot-kick for his first goal of the season.
And the visitors reduced the deficit even further two minutes later as Vitolo and Jairo Samperio combined well to give Bacca the easy task of firing into the empty goal.
Unai Emery's side should have levelled early in the second half after creating a fantastic opening for Jairo, but he was unable to convert it and the hosts broke on the counter attack with Ronaldo.
Ronaldo found Bale on the right who delivered a low cross to Benzema and the Frenchman fired home to end a seven-game run without a goal.
On the hour mark, Ronaldo netted his second of the game after meeting a cross from Bale to fire past Beto, but Rakitic kept his side in the game with an exquisite finish from the edge of the area after neat work from substitute Diego Perotti.
But the night belonged to Portugal international Ronaldo as he completed his hat-trick in the 71st minute before Benzema added his second in the 80th minute to secure the win, with Rakitic slamming a spot-kick against the crossbar in between Madrid's sixth and seventh goals.

The cold air is fed to a massive 1300-cfm air filter that is available with either oiled composite filter media or SynthaMax DRY filtration technology. The top of the airbox includes blade-style weatherstripping, which seals against the hood to keep hot engine compartment air away from the filter. For more information, visit www.airaid.com.

Sir Alex Ferguson has vowed to field a full-strength side as United look to collect the single point required to top Group C.
Neither Jonny Evans nor Wes Brown trained on Monday morning but aside from that duo and long-term absentees Michael Owen and Owen Hargreaves, Ferguson has all his senior figures available for the Old Trafford encounter.
United are yet to concede a goal in the competition and would become the first team to complete an entire group phase with six straight clean sheets if they keep the Spaniards at bay.
United (from): Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Amos, Rafael, O'Shea, Ferdinand, Vidic, Smalling, Evra, Fabio, Nani, Park, Carrick, Scholes, Anderson, Obertan, Giggs, Rooney, Berbatov, Hernandez, Macheda, Bebe.

Canon Powershot SX10 IS Review
Review Date: November 17th 2008

A sturdy plastic brick of a camera, the Canon PowerShot SX10 IS builds on its S5 predecessor chiefly with that bigger and better lens range, though ease of use has also been improved. What's been kept is the tilt-and-swivel LCD and dedicated record button for instant video clips � sensible, as both help this Canon stand out from the 'superzoom' crowd. As noted in the main body of our text, it misses out HD quality video and RAW stills shooting, but it's more comfortable to hold and handle than the more expensive but less well built Casio EX-FH20 which offers both missing features, and its zoom action is smoother than the rather stop-start manual operation of its 20x equivalent on the comparably chunky Olympus SP-570UZ. So it's horses for courses. The Canon SX10 IS then proves to be a solid and reliable option for both the uninitiated moving up to a bridge model for the first time, and those stepping down momentarily from a DSLR who are looking for a model as a back up, or perhaps to supplement their existing lens range, but in a more portable and user-friendly format. Though for a few pounds or dollars more, potential purchasers of a SX10 IS could opt for a beginner DSLR instead, and the reliance on a quartet of non-rechargeable AAs rather than rechargeable lithium-ion cell seems like penny pinching, this latest Canon feels like a lot of camera for the money.
PhotographyBLOG is a member of the DIWA organisation. Our test results for the Canon Powershot SX10 IS have been submitted to DIWA for comparison with test results for different samples of the same camera model supplied by other DIWA member sites.

This is a summary. To read the whole story subscribe to BostonGlobe.com
Amyloidosis in the heart is a rare condition affecting an estimated 10,000 Americans. But the true incidence could be far higher since cardiologists often mistake it for garden-variety heart failure with no known cause. "It's potentially a far more common condition disorder than it appears to be," said Dr. Rodney Falk, director of the Brigham's cardiac amyloidosis program, especially in African Americans who have a 4 percent likelihood of carrying a genetic mutation for the condition.
Falk estimates that 10 to 15 percent of blacks diagnosed with heart failure have signs of amyloidosis — such as an enlarged heart on an imaging test — and should be getting a genetic test to see if they have the mutation.
"It's a disease that's potentially treatable," Falk said, "but if it's not caught early enough, it will kill you."

H. Scott Leviant
H. SCOTT LEVIANT is the founder, primary author and Editor-in-Chief of The Complex Litigator. Mr. Leviant is a civil litigation attorney with well over a decade of experience handling complex and class action matters. Mr. Leviant recently returned to the field of employment-related litigation, focusing on wage & hour class action litigation at Setareh Law Group. Previously, Mr. Leviant was a founding partner at Moore & Leviant, LLP. Before forming his own firm, Mr. Leviant was a Senior Associate, and later, Partner, at Spiro Moore LLP (formerly Spiro Moss LLP), a boutique class action litigation firm that focused on employment and consumer class action litigation. Before joining Spiro Moss LLP, Mr. Leviant litigated class actions at several other plaintiffs' firms. Mr. Leviant began his legal career at the small civil litigation firm Stanbury & Fishelman, Inc., where he handled increasingly sophisticated matters, including complex commercial litigations, class actions, appellate matters and civil trials. As a first year associate, Mr. Leviant argued a matter before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals (where he was filleted, disemboweled, and generally didn't do as well as he had hoped, spurring him to improve his appellate advocacy skills -- notably, his second foray into Ninth Circuit territory was a resounding success).
Mr. Leviant has obtained several published appellate decisions, including Ghazaryan v. Diva Limousine, Ltd. 169 Cal. App. 4th 1524 (2009), which reversed a denial of class certification and obtained an Order of the Court of Appeal directing certification of the proposed class, Laliberte v. Pacific Mercantile Bank, 147 Cal.App.4th 1 (2007), which reversed an adverse trial court ruling and reaffirmed the expansive nature of the "community of interest" concept in California class actions, and Johnson v. Glaxosmithkline, Inc., 166 Cal.App.4th 1497 (2008), as modified (October 14, 2008), rev. denied, which reversed an adverse trial court ruling and questioned the rationale and viability of Alvarez v. May Dept. Stores Co., 143 Cal.App.4th 1223 (2006). More recently, after briefing and arguing the matter, Mr. Leviant obtained a favorable decision in Gillings v. Time Warner Cable LLC, 583 Fed.Appx 712 (9th Cir. 2014), reversing a grant of summary judgment in a wage & hour class action suit.
Mr. Leviant received his undergraduate degree from Occidental College. Graduating cum laude, Mr. Leviant majored in economics and received a "minor" emphasis in mathematics. Along with his study of economics and mathematics, he also had an emphasis in physics. This combination of scientific and economic education has been of assistance during his litigation of complex civil actions. Mr. Leviant attended law school at the University of Southern California Law Center, receiving his Juris Doctor degree.
Mr. Leviant has authored or co-authored various published articles, including:

Tooltips and dungeon journal reflect ability values for one encounter version. Please refer to "Effect" section on spell pages to see values for all raid sizes and difficulties.
- Roll – Throughout the encounter, Deathwing tries to throw players from his back when he senses that they are all standing on the same side of his spine. During a roll, Deathwing throws off all players and other creatures not attached to his back.
The glancing strike from the Dragon Soul destroyed one of the large armor plates on Deathwing's back and loosened another three. Players must remove all of these plates to give Thrall a chance to get a clear shot.
- Burning Tendons
Players expose Burning Tendons when they pry up one of Deathwing's armor plates. Destroying these fibrous strands is the key to removing an armor plate.
- Seal Armor Breach – After the players pry up an armor plate, the Burning Tendons rapidly pull the plate closed, protecting the tendons from further damage and preventing the plate from flying off.
Deathwing's Immune System
The creatures that comprise Deathwing's Immune System emerge from the holes left by torn off armor plates. Deathwing defends himself with increasing intensity as more plates are torn off.
- Grasping Tendrils – These tendrils sprout from holes in Deathwing's back that aren't currently occupied by Corruption tentacles. The Tendrils grasp any player that wanders too close, reducing their movement speed by 35% and inflicting 577 to 743 Fire damage every 0.5 sec. until they move away. This effect prevents players from being thrown off Deathwing's back.
- Corruption – These tentacles are dramatic physical manifestations of the Old God Corruption that runs rampant through Deathwing's body. They emerge first from the holes in his back left by armor plates, and they seal the wound completely, preventing any other creatures from emerging from it.
- Searing Plasma – The Corruption coats the victim in the searing blood of Deathwing. The thick blood absorbs up to 4788 healing done to the target and causes the victim to cough up blood. The violent coughing periodically inflicts 1575 Physical damage every 10 sec.
- Fiery Grip – The Corrupton grips victims with a whip-like cord of plasma, stunning them for up to 30 sec. and inflicting 9450 Fire damage every 3 sec. The corruption must channel to maintain this effect, and players may break the channel by inflicting significant damage to the tentacle. This effect prevents players from being thrown off Deathwing's back.
- Hideous Amalgamation – These unstable creatures are a patchwork of Elementium Armor fragments and pieces of the former Dragon's body held together by his molten blood.
- Absorb Blood – The Amalgamation absorbs nearby Corrupted Blood residue. The Amalgamation grows more unstable with each Residue absorbed, increasing its damage by 10% and attack speed by 20%. At 9 stacks it becomes superheated.
- Superheated Nucleus – The core of the Amalgamation becomes critically unstable, causing it to inflict 2153 to 2797 Fire damage to all enemies every 3 sec. If the players destroy the Amalgamation in this state, then it will trigger a Nuclear Blast.
- Nuclear Blast – The superheated nucleus of the Amalgamation triggers a massive explosion, inflicting 77137 to 87863 Fire damage to targets within 8 yds. This powerful blast pries up one of Deathwing's Elementium plates if it is within range.
- Degradation – Destroyed Amalgamations degrade the maximum health of all enemy targets by 5%. This effect occurs regardless of the state of the nucleus and stacks up to 15 times.
- Blood Corruption: Death – Deathwing's corruption courses through your veins. This corruption takes hold if it is not removed quickly, infecting the player with the Blood of Deathwing. When dispelled this effect jumps to a new target and can mutate into Blood Corruption: Earth.
- Blood of Deathwing – The blood of Deathwing explodes violently from your veins, inflicting 33300 to 40700 Fire damage to you and several other players.
- Blood Corruption: Earth – A shadow of Neltharion courses through your veins. This corruption takes hold if it is not removed quickly, infecting the player with the Blood of Neltharion. When dispelled this effect jumps to a new target and can mutate into Blood Corruption: Death.
- Blood of Neltharion – The barest hint of a shadow of the former Earth-Warder suffuses your blood. Damage taken from all sources is reduced by 20%. This effect can stack up to 2 times.
- Corrupted Blood – These living globs of Deathwing's blood appear fragile, but leave behind an indestructible residue when killed.
- Burst – Corrupted Blood explodes when destroyed, inflicting 2090 to 2310 Physical damage to nearby enemies within 200 yards.
- Residue – Destroying a Corrupted Blood leaves behind an indestructible residue. It slowly creeps toward the nearest hole in Deathwing's Back where it reconstitutes into a new Corrupted Blood.
