After months of shoulder pain and subhuman iq doctors I finally got a MRI which showed Shoulder Impingement/Rotator Cuff Tendinitis or something like that
Is it over for my lifts will I ever be able to be a good lifter?
Shoulder Impingement/Rotator Cuff Tendinitis
just train with normal weights like a normal person and you'll be fine
Deadlift victim
I have been having shoulder pains too anon
what did your doctors tell you in regards to treatment
rest, warm, comfrey, light warmup, mobility drills/stretching for wide ROM, balancing training (abduction-adduction, internal-external rotation)
looks similar to my gym crush -.- she's got shorter hair and i can't pin down her nationality.
These guys have some easy going videos on the topic. I had an AC joint injury a while back, and a chiropractor helped me with it.
Lots of stretches, and I believe the guys in the video I linked recommend dead hangs.
it means you're a dumb b***h that needs to see the physio for a problem that is 100% fixable if you're not a dumb b***h
so get at it, dumb b***h. Be thankful it wasn't a labrum tear
how about I tear YOUR labia b***h
I've already been to a physio did not fix shit kys
I have to visit my doctor again as I just got the results and the previous doctor was a useless frick
Ok OP here's what you do.
You reduce activity to a pain free level, this can mean even down to just moving the shoulder with no resistance. This is where you start, then you keep adding small amounts of resistance at high reps around 15-20 and then you slowly progress from there, always doing everything pain free. You then ice the shoulder immediately after your therapy exercises for 20 minutes and no longer.
Then you can get a massage ball and periodically massage whichever tender areas you have in your shoulder with that ball multiple times a day and push into the pain for about 10-30 seconds.
just youtube shoulder impingement exercises for a list of exercises, it doesn't matter too much about which ones, the best all around exercises for your shoulders are side lying external rotations and inverted rows. Closed chain exercises are the gold standard of physical therapy.
I'm a PT.
Here are a few exercises I recommend:
> side planks resting on your forearm
> external with a band and your arm in 90 degrees of abduction and elbow flexed so your arm makes a 90 degree angle.
> dead hangs with one arm and allowing your body to spin around so your shoulder goes throw full ROM.
>no side lying external rotation
bad PT, probably the same shit PT OP went to
go back to school son
side lying ERs are great.
source: me, just got my 2nd cortisone shot 2 weeks ago. bicep tendonitus, and bursitis. it's slow going, no miracle cure. keep active and keep the ROM up.

Oh, brother, you are entering a very dark path. I hope those 2 shots are all you need because you can destroy your shoulder for good if you keep resorting to them.
Lowish dose Mk677 and doing rubber band pump workouts. Send blood to the area for a few weeks. People are free to call me a moron.
I had an intense shoulder pain, after ego lifting incline dumbbell press, for more than a year and it just wasn't going away no matter what I did. Now I might sound shizo but after a year of no progress I prayed to St Roch (after church on his holyday) and literally the next day I didn't feel the pain anymore. I went to the gym and could do pretty much anything pain free except a few exercises during which I still felt some slight residual pain. But if you want more secular advice I suggest stretching, resting and avoiding any lifts which put stress on your shoulders (which is a lot of them unfortunately). Also massaging the painful spot apparently helps but I can't attest to that.
Just lay off the shoulder until it recovers.
Train your rear delts. Usually pain is caused by muscle imbalance.
