Ive got myself another appointment booked now so hopefully he should refer me next time round.
It is slowly getting better from doing the rotator cuff exersizes which i have found off the net but i would still like to seek a professional opinion.
Would you recommend that i dont train full stop? or go easy and avoid training anything that puts strain on the injured part??
Cheers all,

yep...the old doctors,well a majority of them suffer from god complex,even though they have no specialist training...they think that the general public/average joe has no knowledge and treat em like nothings...but hate me when i go in and start telling em i need physio etc etc,cos i know some basics and have some scientific knowledge!!!
just have to go in with a bad grimace on your face complaining about pain in most movements,cant even reach up top shelf without pain,what they wanna hear is if it impedes your every day activity and work i guess..if you exaggerate the whhole thing and make out its very painful and is stopping you doing a lot of things...and say i really think i need some physio help all with the whincing and grimacing...he's got to do it,if not,then the doc is an ass!!!!
if your able to move around and do other exercises that do not directly stress it or make it pain...then carry on with those exercises but with the exercises that direct cause pain,damage or weakness...i'd say stay away from em til you know whats what from a physio...they will tell you what to do and not!!!
i'd say get the shoulder iced ASAP,swelling,especially if its the tendons under the acromium could cause rubbing along with any damage or microtears you have...also try correcting your posture if its bad in the area!!!!
also try gentle massage to the area,because tendons and sinewy tissue have little blood supply and oxygen passing through,unlike muscle tissue etc...helps with what blood flow you can get there,for nutrients,oxygen etc!!!
i wish you all the best with your shoulder injury mate...think it is one of the most common problems for training with heavy weights...but please allow yourself to be near 100% and gradually re-introduce yourself to heavier weights when ready...cos common mistake is thinking,oh its better slam,heavy weight,way too soon...fcuked!!!
avoiding this will ensure you get back to normal and surpass your past gains and have a new strengthened shoulder complex!!!
i've been going light for ages and gradually re-introducing my weights for about 2 months now,still doing it...some days better than others,but working with physio instructions and exercises...its doing the trick nicely...might even take another week off for healing,and do some more cardio!!!!
funny thing,something has come good of it,cos i was training heavy all the time...and now going from total rest on that bodypart to light training and getting pumped up like a friggin balloon,nice...!!!
also correcting some bad form,and has been giving me very solid dense muscle tissue!!!!
fcuk me,another novel ffs...
i wish you all the best for your recovery,hope its not too bad and you get back to what you love doing!!!
