Tendonitis in right shoulder

[kandaandm]

I've had tendonitis in my right shoulder for the past month or two. What do you guys do for tendonitis? It's really hampering my lifting.

i've had it in my bicep tendon in my right shoulder going on ten years now. it usually gets stressed when i train chest. i usually limit my range of motion on flys and use dumbells with a neutral grip for presses. this helps me out. i also train chest on friday and take saturday and sunday off. ice helps, its a bitch man, there have been times when i couldn't even hold my cell phone to my ear without being in pain. just gotta train through it and when its really bad train around it.

your shoulders a tricky area. There are lots of things you can do to strengthen it, stretches and the what not. I would try to explain, but I would probably butcher the directions. Google should come up with some good results

Rest for a week unless that doesn't make it better, if not then 2 wks. Try to figure out what you are doing that is causing it and change up how you are doing those, i.e. grip, ROM, etc... Also figure out some PT exercises to rehab shoulders and try to work on those some.

Take some time off from lifting and let the inflammation settle down. Tendons are slow to respond, so give it plenty of time. During this period, do your rotator exercises to strengthen the cuff and gentle manual stretching to improve your range of motion, especially if you have some impingement going on in your shoulders. As lifters bulk up, impingement can be a big problem. The can cause tendons to be irritated. Fish oil and NSAIDS can be helpful too.

Then when you get back, examine your lifts to see if you are doing anything to aggravate that area. A PT once explained to me that any shoulder lifts you can do with your palms facing up rotates the shoulder cuff so it has more room to work in there. That would be a good thing.

Good luck bro, it can be a very stubborn problem.
