Shoulder impingment?

[big4life]

Has anyone been treated for this or had the surgery?

That is what they are guessing my shoulder injury to be. Of course when I get my MRI done next week he will probably say "no let's try this"

At the AC joint?

Yep, I think that is what he called it. They have made so many different guesses, I am beginning to think that I am a lab rat.

I am hoping the MRI will tell them something definite.

I had one in my left shoulder. Had to stay off of it for awhile, plus do different exercises they gave me. After the rehab period, it was fine. No surgery.

I do...I had a cortisone shot about 3 months ago, and it is starting to wear off. I have been seeing a chiro, and it feels a little better, but I'm sure I'll have to have surgery. They could see mine on the extra. It feels fine till about the 6 rep on a set, then starts popping.

How bad is your pain? Mine only bothers me mainly on chest excercises and some curling motions.

May have some info for you....

I have been barred from lifting any weights.

I had a cortisone shot on Aug. 5, it got some movement back but the pain is still pretty intense if I put any weight on it.

I have seen the video of the surgery, it is arthroscopic, so if they have to do that it won't be so bad.

Yeah, I was told after 6 weeks should be able to workout at full intensity....after 2 weeks I think you can start light workouts...but I'm sure every doc. is different.
