i think if the shoulder is stable you should continue to lift...not power lift, but lift. THis will help to maintain ROM....stop if it gets painful. Do some swimming and things like that as well. DO you have any previous dislocates? Also take glucosamine/chondroitin sulfate

I have the same thing and I am going in for surgery. I have calcium deposits with it. He said he'll take it all out and I'll be good to go in about 3 months. ALSO, he told me to continue lifting all I want until surgery. Same age also.

Be careful after cort,masks pain and you can do more damage. "Sulgar" gluco/chondroiton very good. Always rub warming cream pre workout,lots light bent over laterals.Take smaller increases in weight warming up. Most powerlifters rear delts lag behind and when doing lockouts etc the shoulder has no foundation/support. Do lots real light rotator exercises and rear delt stretchers. Have patience,they take a while to come right.Good luck mate!

My shoulder was diagnosed as tendonitis and bursitis. I had a few months of therapy. That didn't help one bit. I then got a cortisone shot which improved it about 50% for the first month but now it's back to where it was before. I need to go back to the orthopod. I guess an MRI is next. I suspect I've got serious calcium deposits.
I'll probably have surgery.
