Vegetarians and vegans in particular may have difficulty getting enough daily protein, and regularly eating non-dairy foods that are rich in the nutrient, such as steel cut oats, can help. Women should get 10 to 35 percent of your daily calories from protein, or about 46 grams per day.
Rotator cuff impingement syndrome and associated rotator cuff tears are commonly encountered shoulder problems. Symptoms include pain, weakness and loss of motion. Causes of impingement include acromioclavicular joint arthritis, calcified coracoacromial ligament, structural abnormalities of the acromion and weakness of the rotator cuff muscles. Conservative treatment (rest, ice packs, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and physical therapy) is usually sufficient.
Step 1. Diagnose the severity of the shoulder muscle strain. Grade I strains consist of mild discomfort with no disability; Grade II strains have moderate discomfort with moderate swelling and bruising; Grade III strains, however, have significant pain, swelling and bruising.
