Proximal biceps tendinitis

**Mz1220** · 03-05-2015, 06:03 PM

I'm pretty sure this is the cause of the pain in my shoulder. Anyone have any experience or info with this? For now my plan is to rest completely for about a month and see if it gets any better. I hope it's not a tear. The pain has forced me to rest you know how bad it must be to make me stop working out.

I had bicep tendinitis. Pain in bicep was due to a shoulder injury (referred pain) where the bicep tendon inserts into the rotator cuff. Chiropractor and physio helped immensely to retrain the shoulder and correct the imbalances that were causing the bicep tendon to become inflamed. Find a chiropractor or active release therapist who can work with you and a physical therapist. Meanwhile, ice and Advil.

It seems to feel better if I stay away from heavy bench press's but I can't seem to stay away from them. It's one of my favorite exercises. I work in the medical field and can get corticosteroid every once in a while. So I've given my self a few shots of decadron and it's helped with the pain a good deal. I'm still benching and I do a lot of pull-ups I think both aggravate it. Sucks getting old... I also been on mk677 hoping that it could give some healing help. That stuff has helped me a little with it. Thanks for asking tho DWBO

I know the frustration .

Mz how is the tendinitis? I actually have it right now as well and it seems like benching and pull ups cause it to flare up. It's a pain in the ass bc you want to train hard but you have to becareful lol

I had it injected and it really didn't do much for the pain. I was examined by the Dr and he said it could be a laberal tear and the more I research the more I think that's what it is. It's also known as a slap tear. My symptoms match up with the symptoms of a tear. It sucks if that's what it is cuz I'd need surgery and the recovery is long and painful. Good luck with yours hope you feel better

Sorry to hear that bro, how long is the recovery after surgery? I feel your pain, I'm hoping mine heals on its own and doesn't get to that extent. I was thinking about trying MK-677 to help with the healing process along with 4 Alieve a day and ice twice a day. Get well soon bro

I heard it's months for recovery and it's painful. I'm not planning on getting surgery any time soon. I can still lift it's just in pain a lot. If it's tendinitis an injection could take care of it. Just rest it for a couple of weeks after if that's the road you take with it
