Was looking for some opinions on what to do for this injury would really like to get back to lifting.
On February 3 2018 i was training chest and triceps and thought I would try a one rep max on bench since I hadn’t done one for months since my shoulder would bug me bench pressing every so offten. That day I was originally supposed to do 5x5’s on bench but my shoulder felt pretty good and thought I’d give a one rep a go. Which turned out to be a bad idea. I unracked the weight brought It down to my chest did a 1 second pause then pushed got up almost half way then all the sudden my shoulder hurt pretty bad had to get my buddy to pull the weight off as I couldn’t push no more as it hurt to much. About 2 weeks after that mishap I went to the doctor they said nothing is wrong with my shoulder he said give it a 2-3 weeks and maybe try physio so did just that. After 3 weeks Tried doing a couple things in the gym but it would bug me to much. Tried going back to the doctor to get a mri or something but wait list was 6 to 12montns depending where you go and he was still Convinced that mine shoulder was fine lol. Then on April 10 2018 I said screw it and paid $875 for a private mri got in the next day. The findings were a very short segment tear which appears full thickness through the anterior fibres of the infraspinatus close to the insertions. This measures just 3mm in width and 9 mm in length. I’ll post a pic of the report so you can read the findings. Anyways I am rolling up to the 8 month mark on this injury. The pain is off and on. If I do something wrong with my shoulder it will be sore sometimes for a week then feel better. It’s really up and down. I would really like to get back into the gym lifting as I’m bored without lifting. I work out every now and then but I’m very limited. I do rotator cuff exercises 2-3times a weeks. This will include external rotation with a light resistance band and a variety of stretches. So far I’ve tried PRP this helped a little I think, but it’s very expensive. And I’ve ran mk2866 (Ostarine) as some people say this will help with injuries. Btw I didn’t get surgery as the orthopaedic surgeon said It should heal by its self. any suggestions or help would be appreciated thanks.
