[FAST]

I got one and it was instant gratification,

I did not lift cause I still knew there was a underlying problem that needed to be fixed, and working out still just cause you can't feel the pain would do nothing in the long run ,

it is basically a really fierce pain reliever, but it is not used to cure or fix whatever it is that is wrong with your shoulder, so don't use it as a reason to hit the gym hard again

adress the problem at hand, but the shot will help you with any pain opr soreness you may be having as a result of your injury

SHOCKING STEROID SCANDAL AT DOG SHOW


By BERNARD DANE

NEW YORK, N.Y. -- Steroids have reared their ugly head in the unlikeliest of places: The hallowed benching areas of the dog show circuit.

The showplace of the world's toniest canines is embroiled in a steroid controversy brought to light by these exclusive photos taken by Weekly World News. The shocking series was snapped outside the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show in New York.

The photos show Mr. Parsley, a 4-year old German shepherd, being fed dog biscuits in the shape of barbells by his owner, veterinarian Mary Jane Snow.

Weekly World News also collected crumbs from the treat and took them to our New York laboratory. Tests show that they contained corn meal, white flour, beef stock -- and sphingosine-derived lipids from pit bulls. In other words, anabolic steroids.

"Even his tail had muscles," says Maggie Burbank, whose 3- year-old Shetland sheepdog Aniston was literally pushed from the Herding Class pre-trials by Mr. Parsley. "My poor baby is suffering acute post traumatic stress from the experience. Whenever another dog comes near, Aniston just flops on her back and wets herself. I don't think her selfesteem will ever get to the level it once was."

Judges initially became suspicious of something amiss when the triumphant Mr. Parsley stood on his hind legs and ran up the stairs of Madison Square Garden, Rocky-style. They put a 'temporary leash' on the German shepherd's victory until an investigation could be conducted. Weekly World News turned over the findings of its own independent inquiry. The judges ordered a urine test. The first test came back negative, but also with readings that it was human urine -- specifically, that of Dr. Snow. A second test was ordered. That one came back positive and resulted in Mr. Parsley's shameful disqualification.

Informed of the decision, the dog went berserk and had to be tranquilized by security forces. Dr. Snow wept openly as a half-dozen paramedics carried the limp Mr. Parsley to a waiting ambulance.

"This is so unfair," sobbed Dr. Snow. "We have never used performance enhancing drugs at a dog show. Mr. Parsley is just very driven and very competitive, a classic alpha dog."

Dr. Snow also fiercely denied having provided judges with her own urine for the drug tests.

"There was a long line at the rest room and I used a coffee cup," she says. "They must have grabbed that by accident."

Dr. Snow adamantly dismissed the photographs and lab results as "all bark and no bite. It's like those reports last year that the highly favored cocker spaniel Gloved Wonder was molesting under-age bitches. They were all lies but it cost him the Best in Show title."

Reminded that she was the one who first reported those rumors, Dr. Snow ended the interview. Shawn Bartels, author of the new book Juiced: Wild Nights at the Kennel Club, says that the problem of what they call "muscle mud" on the street is reaching epidemic levels in the dog show world. Bartels spoke with Weekly World News from prison, where he is serving a 4- day sentence for fraud after entering a dog in the Topeka Canine Celebration that had caps on its teeth, a fur transplant and colored contact lenses.

"The truth is that Mr. Parsley's handler was stupid," Bartels declared. "Every dog is on the 'mud' now. Mary Jane just went too far." The phenomenon of doggy steroids first surfaced eight years ago in Tijuana, Mexico, where "mud" was used to create "Perros Excelentes," or Super Dogs. Bartels directed us to Dr. Cesar Ramirez a researcher at the Vera Cruz Pet Museum.

"Yes, I am the father of the 'mud,' " says Dr. Ramirez. "But we used it for good. We bred Border collies that tracked drug smugglers, created super sheep-herders, and made a terrier that catches Frisbees like you wouldn't believe. But the very drug dealers our dogs were tracking captured the collies, recreated the formula in a 'black lab,' and sold the performance enhancing treats on the Internet."

Officials at kennel clubs worldwide are keeping mum as to whether they'll make drug testing mandatory. Golden Global Kennel Club spokesperson Barbara Chen would only say that so far Mr. Parsley's case is "an isolated incident."

"I hope that owners will selfregulate before we have to," she added. "It would get really complicated, not to mention noisy, if we had to have police dogs watching the other dogs at our events."

As for Mr. Parsley, he is back at her home in Lowell, Mass., where he is preparing for a U.S. tour with the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus.

"He needs the spotlight," Dr. Snow told us before running off. "I'm hoping to get him on Letterman as well."

don't post much but the shot might be one of the worst things to do, unless you are doing it for a sport to get through. there is definitely an underlying injury that its not gonna fix. i had one in the front and one in the side, flat benching way too much weight and took a beating. i have torn rotator cuffs in both shoulders, not pleasant. this was a couple years ago still haven't got surgery like i was supposed to. i agree with fast, instant gratification, which is the negative, feels like you can do your normal workout and go heavy even though you shouldnt. the dr's tell ya to lift light but the machismo takes over. plus the shot is a monster. my 2 cents

Got one for my left trap... asked the DR what it would do. He said it would break up the inflamation temporarily, and help with the pain. For the first day it felt great... next day hurt like a bitch, and then the 3rd day felt like a million bucks for a week and a half.
