millenium girl Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 It's not the first shoulder injury that I have but my GP told me that I'd better stop lifting weights for good and focus on cardio training. Not sure I can do that .... I have been lifting for 30 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobTheOldLifter Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I can see taking a break for healing, then keeping light for a while, but advising you to stop for good sounds fishy. I'd suggest see a sports doc and take it from there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millenium girl Posted January 28, 2020 Author Share Posted January 28, 2020 TTT Like I said in the shout earlier I got an injection of Prednisone last Friday and I’m still in pain. I’ve had 9 sessions of PT, they didn’t do shit. I have been told by my GP to stop lifting. Maybe he’s right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzyx Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Are you making rotator cuff exercises and stretching part of you regular lifting routine? I find if I don't then issues just com back once 'healed' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Have you spoke to @Physlifter see how he would address it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Physlifter Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 This is a solid article for RC repair Do all band work, very light. Everything should just be fatiguing or just mildly aching. Pick 3-4 strength ex's, stretch; do them 2 times daily, 3 sets of up to 10 reps. https://orthoinfo.aaos.org/en/recovery/rotator-cuff-and-shoulder-conditioning-program/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
