Nice video now what if the pain is. Comming from the back of the shoulder around. The shoulder blade area?

@McFitNovoline89 Mate sorry to hear that. if its just bursa removal recovery is only a few weeks if its rotator cuff repair I had 2 reattached its 2wks in sling & 12wks recovery & no heavy lifting for a few more months.My brother in law had all 4 rotator tendons reattached he couldn't work for 10mths. Dont muck around as u dont want to end up with arthritis in shoulder or permanent stiff shoulder. Good luck

@rag5206 yeah i went to the gym often, i got this injurey for months, but i didnt know what it was the ortho gave me some painkillers thats all, im afraid its chronic and i have to get an operation, thanks foru your help

[rag5206]

@McFitNovoline89 The anti inflammatory drugs didnt help me. It was really uncomfortable sleeping on my right shoulder because of bursa & torn rotator tendons I am 10 wks out of operation 70% movement in arm. I was my own worst enemy I thought it was just shoulder strain & kept going to gym in attempt to work through injury very silly of me. I should have had Ultra sound earlier by the way MRI's are best 4 detecting tears rotator cuff they inject a dye into shoulder 4 clearer picture.

@McFitNovoline89 If the antibiotics dont work they can drain it or give steroid injection mine was to gone so he took it out will be replaced by scare tissue between joints, avoid over use some gentle exercise & cold packs may help you.That popping sound might be crepitus from torn tendons caused by repetitive use or fall or lifting something heavy or born spurs cut tendons.He re attached the tendons to my shoulder called a SLAP correction did u pump iron for a long time or fall on your shoulder

@rag5206 this is exactly what i have, especially the 3rd point burning feel near ac joint and popping, i got antibiotic from ortho 3 days ago i have to take them 20 days, is stretching the chest and shoulder a good choice for this?? unfortunately i have this burstits i think over 4 motnhs now, it was late is it chronic now?

@thekingofoakland 1st sign Uncomfortable to sleep on right shoulder,2nd sign trouble raising right arm above head & trouble swimming also loss of strength couldn't do chin ups 3rd burning feeling in right shoulder near upper bicep/bursa plus movement/popping feeling in AC joint. I went to Ortho today have 85% movement back feels weak started driving car again. Ortho said start swimming Breast Stroke to loosen muscles/tendons & get strength back.

@rag5206 What was your first symptom? Like the first feeling that something was wrong?

[rag5206]

@thekingofoakland Yes same thing with me little to no pain, then one day in Feb lifting some weights off a leg press machine bang the shoulder tendons failed it was "the straw that broke the camels back" the day before I am doing chins ups, dumb bell presses etc with no probs. The bursa was so inflamed anti inflamatory drugs wouldn't help so out it goes.The surgeon said scare tissue will grow and replace the bursa.
