Have any of you had exploritory surgery on your shoulder? I've had this pain in my left shoulder for over a year. Done about 16 sessions of therapy. 8 regular and the 8 Art therapy. But no success with either one. Had an MRI and revealed nothing at all. My doc want to go in but I'll be out for like 2 month. Any suggestions?

Do you have the pain all the time or doing certain movements?

I know a few guys that had problems with their rotator cuffs, that's a nasty injury.

Just certain movement. Forget about behind the neck or front presses. I can't do pull up for the lats. I can't go all the way down. Too painful. But even some movement when I'm not even in the gym hurt. Kind of like my whole arm just losses all it's strength.

It's about tolerating it, it's just annoying. Plus it takes away from my lifts. My shoulder is not as strong. I actually want to take the sauce but I'm I afraid of bursting something in there and being out for like 6 months. Some kid at my gym just tore his biscep tendon while of the sauce. He thought he was superman.

When you say therapy, do you mean Physio? I had a really bad case of golfers elbow a couple of years ago. It was so bad I couldn't grip and lift anything with my right hand. I went to physio and it did NOTHING. My wife convinced me do go for therapeutic massage. Now I didn't like the idea of a man rubbing his hands over my body, but after I almost dropped my two year old little girl in a parking lot, because of the pain I gave in. Well 6 weeks later, and 8 appointments, all gone, all better and have never had a problem since.

This would be my recommendation! For the last two months I have been having some mild shoulder pains too. I have an appointment booked, and this time with a woman (bonus).

Give a massage a try. A good one will be able to "feel" what it wrong and break down the bad tissue so it can repair itself. Be warned, it is painful, but it feels good.

Damn, I had the exact same shit, it jsut cleared up after a couple years. I couldnt do behind the neck presses, lat puldowns, sometimes even pushing a broom with the delt flared it up. The doctor may try to give you a cortisone shot right into the shoulder, let him, it is good.

I had a bad shoulder, couldn't lift shit. Doctor diagnosed it as 'Weightlifter's Shoulder'. I got a Cortizone injection and it helped only for a week. I just eneded up not working out for about 6 months, but I haven't had any problems the last year or so.
