Shoulder Pain Still an Issue!

Bigger Stronger Leaner Over 35 Lifter

Its been 6 weeks since I decided to do something about it. Doc put me on anti inflam drug. I took it. He sent me to a phys ther who in my opinion was a dumbass and got me now where. I would like to try ART but the damn price is insane… still an option though. Doc said I had bicep tendonitus of the shoulder. This is a reacuring issue for my right shoulder for that past 10 years. I rest it by not using it all in the gym which sucks aka no gains on my uppfer body. It heals or somthing to that effect since I have no more pain then I get back in the gym and in about 9months bammo there it is again. I use proper form and my shoulders are by ration my strongest and most well develpoed muscle which in it self doesnt seem to make since I would think the would be bullet proof becasue of that.

any suggestions? Im at wits end I just wanna lift!

How doest the doctor know you have bicep tendonitis? Have you had an MRI to rule out any shoulder issues? I recently had a torn labrum repaired, in some cases the tear is around the biceps insertion point. I could lift sometimes and sometimes it hurt like hell, had all kinds of popping sounds, etc. Doctor said cysts form with the tear which can cause impingement.

I’m currently seeing a chiropractor for my shoulder. he’s got me on cold laser therapy, and it seems to be working well. Plus, I’m paying $22/visit, completely out of pocket, because I’m going to a chiropractic school to see a student (who also happens to be a powerlifter, so he knows the lifts, knows the problems, and knows better than to tell me to stop lifting).
