Rotator Injury F*@K ME !!!!!!!

Update: Saw a specialist today. Had xrays ect. She did a bunch of range of motion shit, ect. She says its not a tear. But she said I REALLY aggravated it. Every range of motion test felt fine. With the exception of holding my arm straight out to the side and having her push down while I resist. That was pretty sore. (on that back side of the side delt)
Every since that it has been sore all day again. She said I can return to the gym when I feel ready. I explained to her I plan to go volume and very light with no overhead for a while longer. But ofcourse if theres any pain I will stop. She said to expect some extra soreness in that shoulder while its healing. Also that its a MUST that I go back to doing rotator strength exercises with bands.
I also have bone spurs at the end of each collar bone pointing down. Nothing large but still there.

I know you don't want to hear this, but I would take some time off my friend.

light exercises that touch on that area will help them get stronger. Along with specific rotator excercises. So when I say I will be doing light flys I mean like 25's, 30's. Weights that dont make it sore during the movement and dont leave it sore afterwards. If I take time off I will just be doing bands for rotators. The 6.5 month break I took away from the gym was good for my knees and pulled muscles that I had but wsnt good for my rotators because i wasnt doing anything to strengthen them during that time.
Plus when I am off, there is no denying my diet goes to complete shit.

how about some swimming?
 
Actually now that I look closer I believe I found the problem

you have been doing DB flys each chest workout. From now on : one workout do cable flys or another pressing movement you like, then the next time you do chest do DB flys.

because you have been doing them each time, your body got complacent with it even though your form may be excellent.
 
So after a week and a half or so of trial and error basically I have to drop chest all together. No shoulders. I can do light productive back w/o without aggravation but i'm not going to train back and not chest. I can still train legs obviously. Also I can train bi/tris and have been without any aggravation.
There is no tear or whatever in my left shoulder. Both shoulders have the exact same problem in the exact same spot. I'm in the same position I was 2.5 years ago when I wasnt training. I simply have reverted to a real nice case of rotator cuff tendonitis again. The fact that it went from zero to fuckin ouch in a weeks time kinda pisses me off.
Its only the rear side of my rotators. So I have all the bands, ect ect....all the shit I need. I just have to get going religiously with rotator strength exercises and it "should" be fine again in a couple months. Before 2 years ago I had been away from the gym a couple years. When I tried to come back I had the same problem. Took a few months of deep tissue and strengthening to get them back out of the state of tendonitis.
I did get a little strain or something in the left shoulder but that was simply because that one got pissed first. The right shoulder followed suit within a few days and now actually is more uncomfortable than the left.
So..... 150mg of deca wk to help with joint lubrication and collegen synthesis and alot of rotator cuff conditioning commensed yesterday. I started the deca again after dropping it a few weeks ago when i was uncertain wtf was up. Its day 3 and like always on day 3 I feel the effects of it on my shoulders already.
I will continue cardio even more and cutting bf%.....wtf else have I got to do. This gives me the perfect reason to lose my fat ass.
 
UPDATE

Well......I havnt been here since I posted on this thread last. About 6 mos. I havnt lifted a thing or been in a gym since then. Sitting here on my fat ass. Both shoulders, rear rotator cuffs super tendonitis. exactly the same both sides. Man, I cant even hold my arms out in front of me looking for shit in the kitchen cupboard for more than 20 seconds without my shoulders being on fire. cant hold my cell phone up to my ear for very long without it burning like hell. Either side.
The origional injury I posted about was actually nothing. Just a freak thing. But shortly after....wham....simultaniously both shoulders revert back to the two other times in my life when i had tendonitis really bad.
Couple weeks ago I said fuck this....enough sitting here getting fat and being a slob. I started going to my deep tissue therapist once a week again. She keeps telling me since it happens the way it does and its the exact same on both sides its got to be something going on thats being missed.
Well...a little detail occoured to me that I have overlooked. When I went to get the origional post problem diagnosed she told me I have a bone spur(s) at the outside of my shoulder in the acromion(sp) area. She guaranteed without a doubt that the opposite shoulder had the same issue.
Well....a little research revealed that these bone spurs are a serious cause of exactly the problem i am experiencing. Along with bursitis too. So I'm calling my ortho's office in the morning to get this shit under way getting them removed.
I'm elated at the prospect of being able to lift again maybe in the near future. Well....months, but still. I promised myself I wouldnt even dream of another cycle until I got down to at least 8% BF so its going to be quite a while. I am however going to start HGH at some point as soon as its affordable for me to do so. Just an HRT does but long term.
