Whats wrong with my shoulder?

[John k]

Hey,I had an overuse injury a year and 3 months ago, playing 100 rounds of disc golf in 2 days, continuing to swim every other day, and work out every other day, and my job was lifting. I had a sharp pain in the front of my shoulder. Long story short and 3 therapy programs later, deep message therapy, lots of Xrays, 2 MRIs, including the Ink one, and 2 cortisone shots, 5 doctors. Nothings working. I have a small 50% tear in my labrum but the doc said it shouldnt affect my shoulder that much. Cortisone didn't work at all and im only 20 years old. It hurts to run on it, i get deep aching pain in my back and around my rotator cuff, and my bicep hurts. I have Bicipital tendinitis and its alot worse. The second therapy place KOR im pretty sure made it alot worse, it was getting better but that place made it so my Left shoulder has similar symptoms now and i get deep aches some days in my left shoulder. Any suggestions? Im looking at Prolotherapy but side effects it could make my pain worse.. and could eff me up. Not sure what to do at this point..thinking minor dosage of steroids but that wouldn't do much either....... Im seeing another doctor next week, and theres no way a regular therapy program works.... but mabey i just gota live with the injury, which would kinda suck but things could be alot worse = P any ideas or suggestions would be great! =)

ive got a torn Labrum also, doctor never said tha percentage on it. but from what ive been reading about it only surgery will help it. no blood flows through it so it will never heal on its own. especially if it is hurting you that bad, see another doctor that will fix the pain. After i got back from the doc looking at the MRI my friend talked to his therapist and she said she could fix it lol. so i guess she has magic hands to fix torn tendens. mine is a Bankhart tear, anterior interior. mine only catches and cracks when using a throwing motion so i think ill just slowly get back into the weights and see how it goes from there. just find out exactly whats wrong with it before lifting agian or doing anything that could damage it further.

Hey patrio, thanks for responding. Ya i have read that therapy cant heal the Labrum, but i just saw another doctor and he doesn't think that the tear is significant enough to be causing the pain. I mean today it was really bad, i have chronic pain on both shoulders and its running down my arms. Currently my right shoulder feels like its being pinched in the back right now, and my left forearm hurts like a kjladgjadl when i touch it, i get left elbow pains, and my right trap area hurts. Im seeing another specialist in two weeks, but any ideas how this happened. Also i feel a pulling motion right behind my shoulder just typing.
