I have an injury in my rotator which I have lived with for years and now has flared up quite bad.

Thought I'd keep a progress report here for further reference for others.

The injury is in the front delt and I have no movement other than a small amount of elevation.

also no resistance strength on a downward push so probably a tendon injury maybe sustained in my jiu-jitsu years.

So I saw the consultant on Monday had an MRI and X-Ray on Tuesday and its flared up again on Thursday so now I am on strong anti inflammatory until the results come back.

Cant tell you how depressing this is for me especially with everything else recently, not to be able to train is one of the worst things in my life but I am determined to get well again.

Anyway look at these tabs I got today for the anti inflammatory.

I know Im a bit weird but really.........

Hope it gets better for you soon Tom. If you find a way of improving it etc ill be interested to hear as my mate has got the same problem and was unable to lift his arm the last few days.

I'm sorry to hear that m8,,,,

I went to the docs after a shulder injury 2 weeks ago after heavy bench press, luckily not rotator cuff but slight tear to the tendon, 3-4 weeks no weights :(

So for me it has been cardio, cardio and training abs and legs...

I have been doing small amount of rehab work on shoulders which has helped..

I hope it all turns out well for you, keep your head up, I know it's bloody depressing.....

ah24

LMAO at the name of the tabs..

You'll be back soon mate, chin up

TH&S

I think now would be a good time for Tom and I to settle some old scores via a good old fashioned arm wrestle....

lol @ Retard..
I know how it feels not training believe me mate...
however it's better than doing even more serious damage though.
I have a rotator cuff injury that keeps returning but hasn't for a while. That's it jinxed now I bet.....

Hi Tom

Sorry to hear about your shoulder troubles.

Just wondering if you had tried pentosan injections? I know a couple of powerlifters who swear by the stuff for this type of injury.

PunkFloyd - Im seeing the consultant again on Wed 23 so I'll see what he suggests then. I really hope there's something that can be done as Im only young and dont really want to have to rely on anti inflammatories to continue my bbing.

I odnt know why its gotten so bad recently but obvioulsy a signal for a rest.

Hi Tom,

Not sure if pentosan is something that your consultant would recommend as i've only ever seen it in verinary form (however that's not to say that there isn't another brand designed for humans)

What's interesting about this product is that it doesn't just have anti-inflammatory properties, but is purported to actually assists the healing process. I found this:

"Pentosan 100 Injection. Anti-inflammatory and stimulant of cartilage synthesis, repair and protection (100 mg/mL)"

" Pentosan polysulfate sodium possesses anti-inflammatory, anti-arthritic and chondroprotective properties. These beneficial effects arise from direct anti-inflammatory activity; inhibition of neutrophil migration into joints; stimulation of hyaluronic acid synthesis by synovial fibroblasts which results in a marked increase in synovial fluid volume and viscosity; stimulation of chondrocytes, and the biosynthesis of proteoglycans; and a strong fibrinolytic activity which improves the circulation in subchondral bone and periarticular structures.

Pentosan 100 is a semi-synthetic polysaccharide polymer which possesses anti-inflammatory, anti-arthritic and chondroprotective properties. "

Iver never used this compound myself so i cant honestly comment how effective it is first hand, but like i said i do know a couple of lifters who consider it very effective, and it's not one of these things you have to take for the rest of your days either.

Ive also read some of Brian Batcheldor's writing and he seems to be an advocate of it as well if that means anything.

Let me know how you get on mate.

i had a similar problem for over 2 years which my GP wasn't overly helpfull with, went private and the MRI showed a lot of muscle tears, they did keyhole surgery removed a loose piece of bone and cut out the scar tissue.

never had any problems since

Good luck

justdiscovering

my heart goes out to ya big guy(hope that dont sound too gay)
ive disclocated my left shoulder over 150 times totally sh*ggin my rotator,still waiting for shoulder replacement been told im too young @38 to have one done.but im sure you'll sort it.

mars1960

Know how your'e feeling, got tendonitis in both AC joints due to calification, doc started me off the NSAID's, got gut pain though, and didn't work well, etc,etc.
Had 6 corticosteroid inj's, works for a couple of mths, can't have anymore, so eventually got to see the surgeon, said there's only a 50/50 chance of success, and 12-16wks off training, sod that, so at the mo still living with the pain.
Hope you have better luck than me Tom.
