Need advice on my Shoulder Injury. Serious answers only please.

[Sage]

I am going through very similar injury on my right shoulder only no clicking or popping (knock knock knock of the wood). Its been 4 months for me actually. The pain does not bother me during everyday activities, only on lifts. Can’t do sets on benching (flat or incline) and very selective chest and shoulder exercises/weight. I still try maintaining the definition and size, but it’s so ****ing hard now. The orthopedist (shoulder specialist) did X-ray’s which did not show anything. He then gave me cortisone shot into the back side of the shoulder. I waited a few days and went back to the gym attempting to lift. It didn’t do much difference. In my particular case, it’s very hard to get the shoulder going and loosen it up from pain. However, after a few sets I can go a little heavier with less pain, but I am nowhere near where I was. When hitting triceps, I have to select exercises to bypass the shoulder pain as well. It’s driving me insane with the cycle right around the corner.
I am going to do the MRI this upcoming week and will bring the results to the orthopedist for further review. I think that it has to be inflammation somewhere and nothing is tore up as I am able to still lift. I will post my updates here when available along with next plan of action. Hang in there brother!

Sounds like tendonitus man I had the same in like my bicept tendons doctor jerked me around with mri's ,arthograms and then tells me he found nothing.Then sends me to physical therapy for months still nothing gets bette at allr gives me anti inflammatories since I took a pass on cortisone still nothing just masked the pain been back working through it and after awhile it diminishes and then comes back around briefly for a day or two then goes away like 95%. They jerked me around doctors told me it was a labrum tear then a rotator tear I honestly think the doctors don't know shit and just wing it 99% of the time with an educated guess at best.

That's a good observation bro. I have tendonitis on my left elbow where I wear two elbow sleeves which allow completing the workout. The shoulder could very well be the same outcome. I'll see what the MRI brings back. The body is breaking apart while still only in the low 30s.

Yeah im only 18 and my bodies already falling apart to, also it spreads very easily if you've had tendonitus in your elbow chances are its spread I had it in my shoulder it effected everything i did on a bench but didnt effect anything else really I even stopped working out for a few months did nothing and it just spread to allmost every corner of my upper body for no reason. I had it in the shoulder first then the forearms and wrists then it went to my elbows and then my pec tendons its just a nasty condition it will go away on and off and then eventually you should be feeling 95% percent but theres always a little bit of pain.

hope this helps you man

As a trainer I often deal with shoulder injuries. You need to do alot of stretching in the chest and back! and deep tissue massage on the shoulder that is a problem! from the sound of things you also need to do some medial deltoid work (rear delts). Slow tempo scapular retractions and face pulls are great for this! As far as your rotator cuff you need to build them slowly! try very very slow tempo exercises and stretches.

My advice is to find a good sports therapist who specialize shoulder injuries and work with them.


To help it heal and bring down inflammation and pain take these supplements:

8-10g of omega 3 fish oil spread out 2-3 times a day.

Vitamin D 5000 iu to help the cells start to heal and re build tissue

Vitamin C 2000-3000mg a day to help with tissue repair.
