I have bad tendonitis in my right shoulder, On wait list for cortisone injection. took some time off and it is alittle better but not 100% went from 100's to bearly being able to shoulder press 20lbs with out it feeling like my arm was being tore off, but after 3months of off time starting to climb back up. however there are days I cant move it with out it burning. Anyone know anything I can do, besids resting it cause that allmost killed me LOL.
Are you sure it's tendinitis?
Get see a chiro for ART. That should help you a lot
I've been rehabbing my shoulder for about 8 weeks now. If you use the search function you'll find lots of discussion on shoulder rehab.
I've yammered a few times on Rest Ice Compression Elevation (rice), Mobility, Excercise , Analgesics, Therapy (meat)
Cortisone is generally not a good idea as it usually results in poor healing. All the sports doctors I've ever seen have put me on physical therapies rather than give me a cortisone shot.
I've buggered up my shoulders a few times so I'm getting pretty decent at putting them back together.
yah its tendinitis, Dr said so and he said I would have to live with it for the rest of my life and I should prob stop lifting and training all togeather, said the movements would bother it. I dont like his feed back. But yah Ill try the chiro Thanks.Quote:

The thing about shoulders and tendonitis is that you have do persistent rehab to be strong again. There is no pill, shot, or amount of time sitting on your ass that will fix the problem.
You need to consistently, persistently, apply the rehab modalities till you've got the shoulder strong all the way around. Pissing, moaning, costisone, trying to work through it, or taking a layoff simply don't work.
I've had calcified tendonitis on both my shoulders. I had to remove the calcium build up, & got cortizone shots. Both my doctor and strength coach said not to do any moves that cause pain. I followed their advise. It took about 6 months for the left shoulder, 9 for the right one to heal. Now I am 100%, and started to train them. Yet, I am being cautious.
I know the pain you are talking about. Sorry to tell you, but there are no quick fixes. Your shoulders have to heal and they need the time to do so. Hey, I blasted the crap out of my quads, back and arms instead. Result... I leaned out big time!
Good luck

then combine ur off time after it with
2iu a day GH... that is the golden formula,
then msm + chondritin.
then during ur rehabilitation period start yoga + muscle relaxing therapy including hot tubbing, saunas, etc...
then some rotator cuff stuff.. (by tensor bands... dirt cheap, and can be used anywhere.)
-ps hello im new here :)
interesting enough I was given the same thing I am currently dealing with a groin related problem (hip ) etc awaiting MRI...Quote:

really sorry to hear about what is going on with you man, (in the same boat only 21... life feels over been injured 7 months no real help yet)
I have injuried/or over strained the rotary cuff muscles several times over the years.In most cases in my 20,s 30,s and 40,s all I did was the frozen bag of peas therapy with aspirin and stretching and always managed to overcome the injury in 6 to 8 weeks and used lots of tiger balm over the years.
Now in my 50's I repair slower so now it takes 8 to 12 weeks with same therapy,but now I am trying heat on my right shoulder because it is not responding to my past ways and I know heat will get the extra blood in the injured shoulder area.Hopefully it improves soon.
I'm dealing with the same injury on the same shoulder. It has been a stubborn injury and doesn't seem to want to go away. Going for physiotherapy soon so hopefully they can help me get back on track with my training.
