Shoulder Impingement- Has Anyone Had It???

[Millineum Man]

Guys, have anyone of you had shoulder impingement in anyone of your shoulders? If so, how did you get rid of it? I had it one of my shoulders last year which caused me to miss a lot of time in the gym trying to rehab it. This was after a cortisone shot from my doctor. That shoulder is good, now it's gone to my other one! It SUCKS!! By the way, I'm 41 so I'm hoping this isn't the beginning of the end!

Here is a link to number of You tube vids about rehabing shoulder impingement. I didn't have time to review any of them but hopefully you will find some of them helpful.

I am 40 and get them from time to time. Recently had one a few months back that forced me to take some time off from the gym. Hurts so bad that my left shoulder was incapacitated. It was extremely difficult to put on shirts etc.

I had shoulder impingement about 5 years ago. One shot of cortisone and the problem went away and has not returned since.

Many times! Listen, rehab it ice it etc. dont push it, impingment is not serious unless you dont listen to it. Give it a rest and work around it , it will go away. lay off presses or ANY thing that hurts it.

I have it now in my middle/upper trap and it is really bad. I have been the gym once in nearly 2 weeks. I planned to go today but it got really bad and is effecting my neck. 2moro I am definitely training legs though. I will probably train legs 4 times weekly for the next 2 weeks or until it goes away. I saw a physio the other night and will go again soon.

i had it for a few months and it finally went away when i started strengthening my lower traps, stretching my pecs and taking 800mg of advil 3x/day for 10days (breakfast, lunch and dinner). Took some time, but now i'm good to go. Best of luck to you.

Yes. Go see a PT and do the physical therapy. And KEEP DOING IT. Mine involved tons of scap work and rotator cuff work, the PT worked.

I broke down and got a cortisone injection in my shoulder on Thursday. I just couldn't take the pain anymore.

I have laid off all lifting until my shoulder is 100%! Just alot of rotator cuff exercises and band exercises

Same here. Got a shot last week and taking it light on shoulders and chest for a couple weeks. Doc said may need one more shot in 2 to 3 weeks. He is one of the top specialist in my state so hopefully he's right.

I have had a severe shoulder impingement to the point where I couldn't put a bowl away in the cupboard. A friend recommend Active Release Technique (ART). It has fixed my should as well as some other soft issue injuries I've had over the years. Here's a link to find a provider in your area:Active Release Techniques: A.R.T.

I have had some shoulder issues. I only use Dumbbells for presses. I have decreased my range of motion on presses to where my upper arm is parallel to the ground. My shoulders have progressed so much since decreasing rom.
My Chiro recommended this and it helps.

I had an elbow impingement that got VERY bad... I tried to work through it and my arm just about seized up with no range of motion. I had to stretch it back and forth and rehab it daily absolutely zero curls or similar movements, could still to compounds though.

Long story short, rest it, take anti inflammatory drugs, ice it, rest it rest it. It took me about 4-5 months of rest and rehab to get back to work and to this day it has screwed up the way my tendon tracks so I can't have full range of motion in every lift (tendon snaps around during military press most notably) I'm getting by with half repping those exercises at the moment but I may need surgery if it doesn't improve.

This. ART is the best thing you can do for your soft tissue. Most ART providers are also chiropractors so you'll get your skeleton set in addition to muscles tendons and ligaments
