Sheila99 - not exactly pulling muscles, I have major weakness in that left arm, shoulder, neck from a car accident. Normally when you have a weakness exercising the muscles usually strengthens them, they may be sore for a couple of days, but then it should wear off. In my case it causes so much pain even if I that really really easy (often when I was at class it felt like I wasn't doing anything at all, like not even trying) but it takes so long to settle minimum a month, its not working out like it should. Yoga definitely shouldn't do that, it should be ongoing gently strengthening and stretching. Funny you should mention testosterone, that is top of my list to request next time I am seen at the meno clinic in January. GP wont entertain it and I know the meno clinic wont unless I have been on 3 continuous months of a regime. There was a lot of chopping and changing recently but by the time I go I will have done more than 3 months.
If I can get it I will be interested to see if there is any change in my left upper side. The accident happened when I was peri meno. I didnt break anything or need an operation but the damage to the shoulder muscles and elbow was significant. I was on HRT but not testosterone. I wonder if they healed properly?
