I have the same problem in both of my shoulders. After 6 weeks of physical therapy and alot of Vioxx, it did nothing. Then I got a cortisone shot in each shoulder. It helped with the rear shoulder pain but did nothing for the bicep tendons. AAS will not help your shoulder joints or tendons heal. Take the time to heal before starting your cycle. Also when you do start, don't over do it because your strength will start to climb and you find yourself piling on the weight, running the risk of reinjury. Take plenty of time to warm up first.
