Howard...would you expand on that a little please. Hell, when I cough or
clear my throat, I can feel everything tensing from my throat down to my
pelvic floor (including a whole much of abdominal muscles), and I have some
urological stress incontinence as a result (due to previous uro surgeries)
if I am not careful.
So what I am saying is, if Mike is powerlifting, I can only imagine a whole
bunch of muscles being stretched or tightened (ie expansion versus
contraction). Are you saying that weightlifting wouldn't effect the various
muscles in the esophagus. But it seems when I simply cough or clear my
throat it seems like the effect is permeating into the esophagus also (along
with the muscles I mentioned above). I'm probably all wet here, but I don't
understand.
I guess you are saying the 6-8 week post op wait puts everything back like
in "original equipment". If its that simple, okay, but it makes me wonder,
especially for something as significant as power lifting...Pete
