I already have a damaged shoulder and bicep tendonitis on my left arm... its been so long no other way to fix it.. so im limited to weight on my left arm.. recently I did some back work out and finished it with bicep curels.. everything was okay.. didnt over do it or anyting..

Came home took a nap... and when I woke up.. I could not move my right arm past my body.. went to a chiropractor.. and they told me I hurt my bicep tendon from the shoulder.. and suggest I dont work out for a year or so..

Its already been little over a month.. and im going crazy.. I asked If I should see a orthopedic Doc.. and they told me they would just give me steroids to inject near the pain area.. If they inject that.. can I do it? or is it a different steroid?

How do u guys handle this? surgery? or rest a year? really need some good advice.. really going crazy...
 
Tendinitis is in most cases permanent, but can be tolerated by training around the problem and by using things like Advil, heat rubs etc

They are likely talking about a glucocorticoid steroid to reduce the inflammation - not the same thing at all.

I had golfer's AND tennis elbow about 7-8 months ago. I eventually stopped lifting about 4 months and it got "better". Got back in the gym and started lifting (light) and always was mindful of it. Took 0 chances, if anything started to make it feel sketchy/tight/even the slightest pain I dropped it and walked away. Started back lifting about 2 months ago and I very seldom noticed it. It has gotten drastically better since I started back lifting. Look up some tennis elbow wrist stretches on google image search. I did them so much it's become a habit I do between bicep/tricep sets now without thinking.

Just my stretching time is like 20 min.. I do all that.. but still cant get it where i can lift heavy..

My bench went from 390 to 250 lb max.. and cant do pull ups... cant go over 50lb dumbells.. and no straight bar curls or hammer curls..

Frustrated...

Does anyone know what exactly does the surgery do? or have anyone got it done?

@cup of tren : NO.. its not my tattoo.. but does look shit load of pain.. I got half sleeves and took 10 hour each arm..
 
Are you sure it's not a minor bicep tear? What you're describing sounds a lot like a tear I had where the bicep attaches to the front of the shoulder. It never hurt while the muscle was being worked/stressed, but would tighten up and hurt while at rest. If you haven't, get an ultrasound from a specialist. I was back in the gym in a month after I finally stopped working out (continued to lift for 3 weeks after tear). After two months I was lifting heavy again.

Did you get banned Dre?

Technically no. They just added me to a user groups called 'miserable users'. It allows me to log in but I cannot post or reply to anything nor send PM's. It's a way of blocking someone from posting without naming them. I guess PSL didn't like what I said yesterday and had them do this to me. Oh well. This is me :)

Ridiculous. You have contributed to this forum IMMENSLEY. Possibly more than anyone else the amount of time you spend on here helping the other bros out. Imo you should be practically immune to bans
