      I have had a fricked up shoulder for 5 months. I can’t bench or do flys anymore. frickin doing push-ups or running hurts it
      waited three weeks for a scan. Just went in and the doctor was like

        what type of scan, only a MRI can even hint at an issue in the shoulder

        or you're just a b***h

          Ultrasound. GP put it through. Definitely not a b***h I’ve been fighting this shit. Took time off, done all the resistance band shit, stretching, hanging, working my way back up. It’s definitely fukt. My other arm can still do everything easily but the fukt one is unstable and can’t push even nearly the same weight so it’s holding me back like a bastard

            Bro this isn’t 1890, there are probably 10 dudes max on the planet that are good enough at soft tissue ecography to diagnose shoulder issues. For instance if you had posterosuperior glenoid rim impingement Superman himself couldn’t pick that shit up with an ecograph. Get an MRI, preferably 3 Tesla or above, with said MRI CD go to the best sports surgeon in your country. Shoulder surgery is the elite echilon of sports O&T there are probably max 2-3 surgeons per developed country and probably 0 in most under developed country that are actually proficient in shoulder surgery.

              bro I went to my nhs gp and they put me through to this scan. I’m not a doctor and had no choice or idea what they’ll do. On the other hand if there’s something I don’t need it’s being handheld through basic stretching and exercises which is exactly what they’re offering

                If you have a calcification in one of your tendons or somewhere close to the subscapular nerve it can be surgically removed. Honestly I doubt state provided healthcare has any surgeons that are capable of these procedures. In my area there is literally one dude that is good enough at sports shoulder surgery and just talking to him for 10 minutes cost around 100 euros. For the moment take some anti inflammatory medication and rest for 10-14 days. Take an etoricoxib antiinflamatory two to three times daily, high dose, with a muscle relaxant personally I prefer clorzoxazonum also high dose 2-3 times. Put some antiinflamator gel/cream with ketoprofenum locally too once every six hours. Have no idea if you can get that shit without a prescription in Bongland. After taking this medication for a week and resting for another week introduce push-ups and rotator cuff exercises (with focus on external rotation). Do not, and I repeat do not do any overhead movements, be they pulling or pushing, I would even be wary of any stretches that require more than 90 degree abduction of the humerus. If you manage to do push-ups and rot cuff ex without pain like this for a month begin gradually adding more horizontal pushes and pulls. If these are also pain free congrats, never do vertical pushing/pulling in your life ever again until you can afford private healthcare.

                Shoulder Pathology on Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Asymptomatic Elite-Level Rock Climbers

                A total of 50 elite climbers (age range, 20-60 years) without any symptoms of shoulder pain underwent bilateral shoulder examinations in addition to dedicated bilateral shoulder 3-T† MRI. Physical examinations were performed by orthopaedic sports medicine surgeons, while MRI scans were interpreted by 2 blinded board-certified radiologists to determine the prevalence of abnormalities of the articular cartilage, glenoid labrum, biceps tendon, rotator cuff, and acromioclavicular joint.

                The overall prevalence of intra-articular shoulder pathology detected by MRI in asymptomatic climbers was 80%, with 57% demonstrating varying degrees of glenohumeral articular cartilage damage. This high rate of arthritis differs significantly from prior published reports of other overhead sports athletes.

                You don’t even understand the things you are posting, this study has nothing to do with MRIs picking up shoulder lesions or not, it’s about the fact that some people have a much higher tolerance for articular lesions than others. This is a well known thing clinically, many times when I get some patient that I accidentally discover with X condition on the radiograph or mri or whatever and he is here for something else I just don’t tell them, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. But when someone comes in with a fricked up shoulder that is painful and we do an mri and find a slap lesion 9/10 times fixing that with anchors cures the pain. Please stop @ing me you are annoyingly stupid.

                Not my cup of tea, won’t give an opinion out of my ass but usually If he was confident enough to give you the photos that means he probably did a good job. The physiotherapy to recuperate after is always a b***h regardless of injury/procedure, it’s just varrying degrees of annoying. But if you read higher up I specified I am not a sports surgeon, the last arthroscopy I participated in was a knee one in my residency. Literally never performed or assisted in a hip arthroscopy. After I finished my residency I said goodbye to the orthopaedic part of ortho and trauma, and focused solely on trauma, did a second residency in general surgery and subspecialized in gunshot trauma.
                I get confrontational when people talk shit about us like we are trying to grift them or something, because I have colleagues that went into sports ortho and they really do try their best and admit their shortcomings to patients but a major part of why I didn’t go into sports surgery is because yes it’s not that develoDo not @ me with a non double blind study performed by a physiotherapist in some Brazilian shithole that is not even their capital where he used literally one single ortho surgeon and one single radiologist in interpreting these MRIs, I just said up there that these things are extremely skill based.

Fricking imbecile.ped, we simply are not that good at it yet as a collective, and honestly I would prefer not to spend my life doing low success rate surgeries on people that can probably get the same result doing physio and taking meds. Maybe in a few generations.

                Yeah that makes more sense.

                well it gives me some solace about what you said then, I'm the post right above this one with my shoulder issues, the same surgeon does shoulder repairs, but I read what you said about your shoulder and I have also read about the risk to the brachial plexus.

                Even with my hip arthroscopy, I got pudendal nerve palsy from it and my dick is still numb from it and my LFCN also got injured and that is still numb even from an experienced surgeon, so maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree with my shoulder and maybe it's just a good idea to get it looked at to see what it is but not get surgery because it's not bother me like yours is bothering you.

                My labrum tear was a 50% tear and the reason why I got the surgery wasn't because of the pain of the hip, it was my deep six rotators pulling on my pelvic floor causing pudendal neuralgia, so hopefully I'm one of those people that has a high tolerance for articular disorders.

                Yeah not feeling my dick would make me get the surgery too, honestly fi you aren’t an elite athelete getting your shoulder operated just to push bigger numbers at the gym is not a good idea in my opinion, you can still get a nice athletic physique with light weights, if you still want to be big do some test cycles with deca oral, who knows that deca might heal your shit while also giving you gains pressing 20lbs

                ya, what fixed my pain was doing inverted rows. Then with the teres trigger points, I just did research and figured out it was teres and massaged them away. I don't really have trouble with it, just sometimes if I'm lifting something really heavy with that arm. I do face pulls and supinated band pull aparts as well.

                My main concern with these labrum issues isn't really about lifting weights, it's the increased risk of arthritis and wearing away of the joint. Finding out what the cause is might be the best thing, maybe it is something that's easily fixable, and having a motor nerve injured is the scariest thing and would not be worth it.

                Look the sad truth is that your shit will hurt when you get old or it might not, I’ve seen patients with joints that looked like ground zero but has no pain and others that looked almost normal but had crippling pain. If when you get old it starts hurting just start popping opioids, you’ll probably already be somewhat senile who cares if you will also be high all the time, or if you are going to get an operation better get it when you’re old instead of risking a frick up while young, let your shoulder wear out to the max and get a prosthesis. True nowadays shoulder arthroplasty is shit but who knows maybe we will have better hardware in 30 years.

                That is where I would describe where it is, it feels exactly what I imagine a small slap tear would be like. How do I fix it? It’s not like I can’t physically press I just can’t push it any more and therefore can’t grow. Also my max is way lower than it was because that side gives out. I don’t think I need extreme surgery or 400 meds but there’s definitely an issue they’re ignoring and going to continue to do so

                If it’s a slap you need surgery to go back to normal. I personally have a small slap and a torn supraspinatus with chronic subacromial bursitis. My colleagues have offered me operation a hundred times but I always refused, I am afraid they might touch my brachial plexus and I would lose my bread basically. I simply rested till the acute pain went away then found exercises that I can do pain free, I can press with a 15 degree incline and only go down till the equivalent of a floor press so paralell humerus to floor, I also do side laterals and seal rows. Anything else and I need some Tramadol to fall asleep from the pain. It is what it is you learn to work around it if you don’t want to/can’t afford the proper imaging /surgery

                I don’t want to fixate in your head the idea that you have X/Y lesion or not. Most clinical exams are high sensitivity and low specificity so we are sure shoulder is fricked il but I’m not going to bullshit you and say I’m almost sure it’s X. The thing is even if it is a slap tear, you trying to lift with it probably inflamed your bursa which then caused general periarticular inflammation which probably impinged your lower subscapular nerve which is causing the teres trigger points, you have an entire cascade of shoulder problems momentarily, fixing the cause will probably fix the rest but I have no idea which one is the root of the problem just from talking to you online. As an anon said up there, in your case just general strengthening and avoid overhead movements after a period of rest. Maybe find some ortho resident and give him 25 quid to inject your shoulder with diprofos to kickstart the antiinflamatory process.

                You most likely don’t have a slap tear, what you have sounds like simple subacromial impingement that developed into diffuse periarticular inflammation which led to subscapular nerve impingement. Physiotherapy is your best bet if after months of physio it still hurts then you are a fricking cromagnon with a hook acromion and your best bet is finding a surgeon to saw off the acromion hook.

          No you don't, unspecific shoulder exercises have just as good outcomes as specific cuff exercises. OP just needs to gradually load his shoulder over time and expect some pain responses in the process; while ignoring gains goblin surgeons who demand he stops lifting unless he pays $3000000 for a surgery that has no better outcomes than placebo arthroscopy

If your issue doesn't tick enough of the right boxes to qualify as something a much smarter man wrote in a textbook they read 30 years ago, then as far as they are concerned it doesn't exist. This describes the vast majority of the people we trust to look at some test results and figure out whether or not we're dying. The doctors who are actually good at their job are out doing groundbreaking shit and are definitely not the guy looking at your shoulder.

              you think you’re getting a chance to have a blast at the country but I’m not the country mate I’m just someone who lives in it. I clearly wasn’t here bragging about it. The NHS was brilliant but it’s been being drained financially for decades obviously with the intent of making people vote to privatise it. You can’t brag for starting at our failing point. We’ll all be even soon enough. And you vill be happy. You already are apparently

          what was your issue and what exercises did you do

          • 2 years ago

            Never found out what the issue was exactly, I suspect it was impingement + bad rouded shoulders
            Basically manifested as a constant subtle pain that got a lot worse with specific movements
            Twisting my wrist/ arm really aggravated it, which was annoying cos my job regularly required that exact movement
            As for what I think fixed it, doing banded face pulls
            Doing this thing :

            ?t=263
            Not rounding my shoulder when I do shrugs
            Really focussing on my posture and how I hold myslef when I lift
            Doing small body stretchs throughout the day, like pining my shoulders back, turning my chin down and flexing my chest up and down
            Could also be diet, taking more fosh oils and ashwaghanda

            It's still not 100% better, maybe 85-90, but man it is so so much better than what it was

                Yeah knife people know the knife. To be honest I’m guilty of this too, when people show up in the emergency room and they have shoulder pain I see their rounded shoulders and could do 10-12 clinical tests and give them a whole workout plan to fix their posture but I am just too tired to start explaining how and why and honestly I don’t care about their postural pain, I’m here to fix real problems like some dude walking around with his clavicle sticking out of his skin. I just give them pain meds for enough days calculating when that shit will run out so they come back when one of my colleagues who is a c**t is on call so they can be his problem lmao

      I will also sometimes do over and backs with a band.
      Never injured my shoulders, my girdle seems strong, took a bunch of hard hits in go karting and rugby the other day and shoulders took the brunt, but seem to be completely fine. Delaying upper for another day just incase though.

    Recently, I hurt my shoulder. I'm not sure how, but I first noticed something was wrong when I was doing my favorite exercise: Weighted rope pulldowns on my local rope viper machine at the gym. It felt like something was giving way. I thought it might be the angle of approach, so I tried again but the feeling worsened. Since then, I've had issues with pain and an inability to bear weight on my right side.

    I went to see a PA at my local sports medicine location yesterday. It's a very high-end facility. My Xrays look good, but other testing indicates that it might be the cartilage binding my bicep to my shoulder. If that's the case, it'll never heal. Steroids can hide the pain, but it won't heal. I fear it may be over for me... and my journey was only just beginning.

    I've got a pain running down from my shoulder through the tricep, a nerve type pain. It kind of feels like a dead arm and primarily comes on when I do lateral raises.

    I was talking to my physio last week, she's a respiratory physio that I use for medical issues, she said I just needed to power through it that it was natural. To be fair, this week my left arm which was primarily the sorer one for the last few weeks felt better and my right was getting more painful. I still don't believe her though, it sounded like bollocks.

    >noticed OHP decreasing from 2pl8 1rm to barely 1.5pl8 over a few workouts (I'm cutting atm so this may be enhanced), and there is a "discomfort" in my left shoulder when nearing high weights
    >shoulder mobility still fully intact, problem/pain only sets in with barbell OHP (starting at about 60 kg) and DB ohp with my left shoulder
    I've now stopped the heavy OHP for a few workouts and haven't noticed any further pain during my other workouts. Focussing on lateral raises for shoulder workouts now, along with some mobility stuff and massaging the left shoulder on off days

      Sounds like a squat plug related issue 100%, you aren’t wearing it when pressing aren’t you? the name is actually a misnomer, it’s not just for squats but for any lift above 60kg.

      Also this is completely unrelated to your issue but you probably overworked something, pressing 2pl8 isn’t exactly what the shoulder was made for, the surface contact area between the humerus and scapula is no bigger than a penny, and you have like how many kg of force flowing through it, it’s like ronnnie Coleman said, everybody want to lift this heavy ass weight, nobody want to deal with this heavy ass pain. Stop listening to internet memes that say lifting heavy is le healthy for aging and joints, lifting heavy will frick up 9/10 people even if they autistically focus on form.
