This was so helpful to listen to someone else with the same experiences of going to different orthopedists, chiropractors, and physical therapists for years. I have been given totally opposite diagnoses of MRI readings, multiple steroid injections, and on and on. This gives me hope!
This person's account echos what I've endured. MRI, physicians & PT. All inconclusive, the exercises that never helped, the what-if's, nothing concrete as far as direction and solutions let alone root cause of the impingement syndrome. Thank you Matt, I've started a few of the exercises (Dumb bell row, etc.), and gained some relief. I plan on formally starting your program dealing with shoulder impingement as i agree w/your philosophy (for certain people conditions and perspective) makes sense. Thank you!
I went back farming - milking cows and upright and walking all day, instead of seated at a computer all day, and within a few months all pain was gone.
I've had an impinged shoulder for 8 months which started when I started a weight lifting programme after a long period away from weight training. For the first two months my shoulder got steadily worse so saw a PT which helped but also realised for my shoulder to get better I needed to listen to my body better. I had a break from weights for two months which helped but pain was still there. So went back to the gym and tried variety of stretches and exercises to see which appeared to work best. One thing I found is not to try and avoid pain but use it to guide you and some pains are doing good rather than bad. Strangely I found heavy shrugs relieved pain in my shoulder, I also stretch my shoulder using a rubber band throughout my workouts and days off which help. For me what has helped is exercising all muscles around the shoulder especially the back delts which tend to be missed and using heavy weights on some exercises. In short if you want your shoulder to get better you need to exercise and stretch, listen to your body and what it's telling you. I feel my shoulder is now healing which was not the feeling I had 4 months ago.
@@fleadoggreen9062my shoulder got 100% better, but I found putting any heavy load on the shoulder with pressing exercises made pain come back. It got so bad ended up with bursitis and bicep tendonitis. I had ignored my own advice. So took a few months off and now have shorter workouts do pull - ups, cable and bent over rows, landmines, bent over laterals, shrugs (slow squeezing shoulder blades together), pull-ups, cable stretches, scapula exercises. No problems with those and try to keep good form, still try to increase weight tho. Avoid bench press, military press. Close grip press dumbbells on bench seems okay. I've probably got permanent shoulder injury.
@@GensetExpert I think I've always had an issue with my left shoulder. Even as a teenager every now and again I would have twinges, but it would go away with training. As I've got older it hasn't gone away. I've noticed that when I've got my left shoulder under load with heavy presses the shoulder just drops. Strengthening mid back muscles and back delta seems to help a bit, but I still need to be wary of impingement. It creeps up on you and if inflammation sets in then it just gets worse, and inflammation can take weeks if not months to settle down.. So you just have to monitor, don't over train and avoid the exercises that aggravate it.
@@charlesolson5101 I'm going through almost the exact same thing. Some periods, I feel like I've overcome this and increase the intensity at the gym, but then the same bursitis / impingement comes back... I'm looking into cortisone injection next, and if that fails.... a shoulder arthroscopy (subacromial decompression and/or distal clavicle excision. How you doin these days and did you try a cortisone injection yet?
I tell people too and I always get the "just wait until you're old like me, you don't even know what pain is yet!" Don't let them downplay the condition you're in. It's a nightmare. Best of luck to you, chronic pain is no joke.
I've had a completey broken severed, arm and surgery to insert rod and screws incision. Now I have bursitis and I can tell you it hurts almost just as much as my arm did after surgery.
I had a SLAP repair in 2002 and my shoulder has been mostly OK until last year when I played basketball and went up for a rebound and over reached. Mri showed subacromial bursitis and partial supraspinatus tear and tendinosis. I used to be able to sleep on my right side with no problems but now I can't. Some days the pain is so bad that it affects my mood and I feel completely crippled even trying to do basic everyday things. On these days I just need to go to bed as this provides the most, and quickest, relief. Surgeon told me to get a cortisone shot and do physio. Which I have done. The cortisone did nothing for me and physio provides very minor, temporary relief. I was told a lot of the issue is posture related with forward head posture so I'm working on that. I have a 2 and a half year old so picking her up a lot even if I try and put most of the weight on my left side triggers it. The theraband rotator cuff exercises help a bit but for me the biggest improvement I've noticed is doing 3 to 4 sets of between 10 to 16 reps of bent over dumbbell rows with about 17kg dumbbell. The following days after doing this my shoulder feels 100% normal. Even seated rows don't help as much as the bent over rows. Probably as the range of motion is greater with the bent over single arm rows. Another big help is flat barbell bench press. Not crazy weight and I make sure to warm up properly first and aim for reps over weight. It's been about 1.5 years now living with bursitis and my concern is that I will have to live with this my whole life. I am a pianist and this injury has impacted my playing a lot. I'm sick and tired of going to surgeons, paying them hundreds of dollars only to be told to do a physio programme or that surgery is not an option in a dismissive and arrogant way for 5 minutes of their time. Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated
i can understand her pain. i do have such pain for 13years, im doing exercise from motivationaldoc. his videos are really helpful😀pain gone almost 70% screw all 30 doctors😡
This sounds identical to my story but now the rotator cuff is feeling 90% better my scapulothoracic area is inflamed and that's where it started for me it felt like something was trapped between shoulder blade and rib cage and my doctor turned around and said there's no such thing as bursitis in that area, safe to say she's no longer my doctor
I finally found out I have bursitis today. I've had it for 9 months now. Exercise does make a difference because for almost 2 months I had no pain till I stopped exercises and lifted heavy bags and my camera overhead and then one day I did overhead stretches while keeping my shoulders down and back. Biggg mistake. I had horrible burning and numbness. It's better now since I've been massaging my deltoid and around the shoulder and resting and icing. My posture seems to contribute to it though.
First thing my doctor said when I was diagnosed was that I had terrible posture. It's definitely a factor. You don't want it to freeze up, I'd try to correct your posture and keep moving that joint (not forcefully, of course), but just doing that has helped me find a little bit of relief... I'll take it. Also, cold compress is great!
This sounds just like me!!! However I've had pain for about 8 years now. Ortho doc saying it's posture related. 2 attempts with physiotherapy. MRI and US showed bilateral shoulder bursitis with tendinosis of rotator cuff tendons. Muscle evaluation showed good back and postural strength. Nothing new came from experiences. If I sleep on my side poorly for one night, I can be sure that I will have a good week of radiating pain down into my hand. Kind of just accepted that this is gonna happen here and there throughout life. I just hope to be able to throw ball with my kid when I'm older haha
Michael Shaver Ginger KIND , don’t live in pain. I’ve had bursitis for almost 3 months now. The pain was bad and I medicated with ibuprofen and Voltarin(anti-inflammatory) but that just masked the pain to get thru work(labourer) 3 weeks ago I started hitting the gym to concentrate on fixing my shoulder, this is going awesome and the pain is nearly gone. Lookup smashweRx video on bursitis and do the 3 exercises he has on there- these are vital and must be done! Start with a light weight for the kettle exercise but make sure they are done. Also Search Bob and Brad and attempt a few of the exercise’s they have. Don’t over do it but you will need to push thru the discomfort. Thank me later 😀
Your video gave people hope but several people have asked what were the exercises and NO response from you. I hope I didn't miss where you posted them, if you in fact did. Monitor your video's you post and respond to the questions other wise your audience will leave you, unless you don't care.
Left shoulder started popping in March 2024. Now October 2024, dealing with varying degrees of pain in an upper front shoulder muscle, sometimes spasms, limited range of motion behind my back, but I refuse to stop stretching and moving despite pain. I keep thinking, "I need to see a doctor about this," but already certain I'll reject any talk of surgery or shots -- just *NO!* Maybe it's my imagination? --- but it *seems* that bicep curls make my shoulder feel better. Somehow I think I'm on the right track with weights. We'll see!
I was told I had bursitis for two months. I listened to this video and tried the dumbbell row. Next day my shoulder went back into its proper groove, if you like ( I felt it move, judder and pop) and the pain of two months ended instantly.
So, when you download the ebook it states the following "The author and publisher are not medical practitioners and make no claims of medical expertise. " Care to elaborate on that, Matt Hsu?
Wow guys THANK YOU! I've been almost a year with the bursitis pain, with aching during the night and pulsing pain. I've been feeling maybe i could try to do so light weight am curls and then I see this, yes! and I'm also find a gentle yoga helps too along with swimming in the cold ocean. But as soon as I do a few things or hold my new grandson :( the pain is back. So I will give this a go and fingers crossed the consistency and correct form etc... will help. Ty for the hope!

@@jasonburgoyne3200 thank you for the advice! I've been suffering with mild shoulder pain for about 8 months and a couple of weeks ago my arm became almost useless from intense pain and inability to move it for no known reason. Too afraid to go to PT or ultrasound as prescribed after doing a Zoom appointment with my primary doc. Been icing and taking ibuprofen and gentle exercises and it's improved greatly but hate taking pills and it's obviously not a long term fix.
I understand the pain here too I’ve been to physical therapy 2 times been on muscle relaxers then on anti inflammatory meds now on my third round of cortizone shots :( still the pain comes back and I get this burning sensation I had my second mri a couple weeks ago and today I found out I have right shoulder bursitis I feel like my life has really been supper hard I have 3 young kids ages 2,4 and 6 and it’s hard to do my daily chores like dishes vacuuming laundry it doesn’t mater if I lit anything it’s the lifting on the entire arm itself. Supper debilitating and I’m now very sad to go to my next ortho apt because I feel it’s going to be the same thing all over again physical therapy another shot or anti inflammatory meds. It’s devastating :( I’m terrified and devastated I just want to get back to being normal 😭.
Don't give up. It's very important to combine PT exercises with daily stretches, and against pain, regular cooling with ice packs. Mobility (but not over-using) is the key to improvement, because an immobile shoulder means "petrification" of the negative conditions. In between the exercises, rest is important. Also, see the shoulder exercises of "Bob & Brad", and "Motivational Doc, Dr. Alan Mandell" on TH-cam.
Ur not alone i have burning neck shoulders sciatica nerve pain all over my body tmj bursitis in both my shoulders and i feel like a drag on my gf i get alot of suicidal thoughts but i fight every day ive been shot 3 times at 18 and healing from 3 gun shot wounds was easier than this bs i suggest u show ur kids how to do chores and help around the house dont be like my mom she never showed us how to do chores and we became lazy fucks
Cj wright The first thing my primary Doc suggested was the capsicum patch and patches with benzocaine type numbing agents unfortunately none of them worked me. I am happy to know she was giving me good advice that just didn't work instead of messing with me :) I am also happy for your success.
My dull aching sensation is felt in between left shoulder blades, at times once a month I feel a crack followed by an almighty sharp pain. My left arm creaks and crunches when I left it. Pain is felt slowly as something is pressed against my back, like the back of a high chair. Instant relief comes from sleeping on opposite side or sitting on a stool, or going for a walk or run. I have had this pain slowly getting worser and more pronounced over a stretch of 9 years. Now I'm also getting weakness in hips especially when I'm sitting. Doctors have not found the cause.
Exercise does not 'cure ' everything... this video wasn't really helpful beyond 'get a second opinion' cross your fingers and maybe it'll go away if it's Not degenerative... many people's pain never stops and never will from disease process
I have gone through three years of no solutions. Feels like muscle or tendon is out of place in upper right arm that causes pain when I rotate shoulder when standing straight.
im a 38 yr old trucker. been lifting weights for about 15 years on and off. recently this year i had a naggin pain in shoulder. in the front. all of a sudden that nagging pain turned into some serious pain. cant reach across my chest to wash opposite arm without cringing. putting hand in back pocket hurts. a lot of normal movements hurt really bad. doctor took xray. said calcific buristus and put me on anti inflammitors and cortisone shot.. didnt get any relief. just dulled it a bit... went back 3 weeks later. another cortisone shot but a diffrent location and anti inflammitroes. this time it reall dulled pain but i knew it was still there underneath the drug fog. im doing PT but some of the exersies hurt and not in a good way and although i say it hurts they want me to push thru.. personaly i think that aggravting the issue. the e stim and deep tissue therapy feels nice and opens up my range of motion but the pain is still there and its a very localizied area in the front shoulder only. going for mri soon. and take it from there. taking a full month off from weight lifting didnt do anything so im still working out but not doing anything that bothers it
Try Kratom for pain, turmeric , Nopal cactus juice concentrate, and Epsom salt baths followed by ice. Devil's claw or white willow bark may also be an option as long as you're not taking another aspirin blood thinner therapy
e l Seems like a similar scenario to my frozen shoulder episode a few years ago. The pain and restriction of movement was pretty awful and, like you, the exercises I was given made matters worse. The pain went, as they said it would, after about six months and I was just left with a lot of restricted movement. I began the exercises again about a year and a half later and this time it worked - my shoulder has now regained about 90% of full movement. There is a little bit of discomfort now and again but nothing too bad.

@Upright Health Please do an indepth vid focusing on this condition. Ive watched your other related vids however I suspect Mariana had a much more extensive rehabilitation routine, please tell us all the exercises as she says.. "there are sooo many exercises"
I hope you find relief. Have you been doing any stretches and strengthing for your shoulder? I have a forward neck posture and an exercise playlist you can check out. It could be your posture and the position of hour hand if you use the computer often.
I had partially tore my supraspinatus tendon. I have bursitis and tendonitis. My doctor gave me a cortisol shot. So I was actually feeling better because I would go to the gym and lift heavy weights. Later the next steroid injection I had a cortisone flare. Right now I am using an ice pack, give myself ipamorelin and BPC-157 peptide injections. I take magnesium and drink turmeric with apple cider vinegar. I do stretches on the pull up bar. I feel less pain, but hopefully I will be back to normal.
Yeah should've shown the exercises that she's done that helped her, this video was a little stretched out I think.. I have bursitis suddenly now 8 months no clue where it came from and saw a physiotherapist for exercises I don't think it's helped much, I still get intense pain at the corner levels of the stretch and rotation of the shoulder, i can't even hold my hands behind my back, cannot scratch my back at all anymore, pain when I lift my pants up, it's ridiculous.. I am trying acupuncture now for the next 3 weeks to see if that helps, I'm going to do whatever I can but tbh I don't see it going away because it's there and if these exercises or natural ways of healing don't work I have no choice but to go to cortisone injections as last resort
I'm with you. Had it since 2018, hasn't gotten any better. Best of luck to you, I hope you find relief. Chronic pain is so debilitating, no one deserves it.
I have shoulder bursitis like 8 months I don't even know what to do last 1 monts I have pain everyday I go work and then I start to have pain I come home in the night my pain gone and when I start work again I have pain again 😩 😫
Mariana seems too young to have a really bad shoulder ache. Is she an athlete? Was she in a crash? What brought on her shoulder condition for such a long time. Video interview does not say. She only says that "She woke up one morning and her shoulder ached" pretty bad.
Age doesn't matter with bursitis mine started when I was 24 in 2014 only sorted out this year at 28 my pain started 1 day after a work shift I had a steroid injection and it was ok for a while in the end before I had an operation in March I couldn't put my hair up struggled to dress had numbness and tingling in my arm and hand struggled to sleep was in pain constantly even after a nerve blocker and steroid injection
Yes you always need a referral. You can ask your usual physician. I did a mri after having issues with my shoulder for 9 months now. I wanted to know what was going on. You can always try xray too if mri is too costly for you. I knew that xray would not show any nerve problems because I was having numbness so that's why I decided to do mri. Turns out I have bursitis and its aggravated from lifting heavy stuff, my posture and using my hand alot. Hope you find relief. I've been doing exercises for forward next posture and that has been so helpful.
my mom woke up about a month ago with really bad hip pain that radiates down the back of her leg, not long after she was diagnosed with bursitis, since then she's been on pain killers for like a month straight including Ibuprofen, she finds it hard to get around even before the bursitis could you give me advice on what maybe she could try to be able to get better and hopefully stop with having to take painkillers? she's at the point where even her behaviour is changing because of it. thanks in advance.
I fell backwards and stiff armed the landing which impacted my shoulder My bursa sack squeezed through to create a bulge on my skin It hurt for a couple of months but I got most function back but the bulge isn’t budging Can I aspirate it, should I ?
I'm 39 and I've just been diagnosed with chronic bi-lateral subacromial bursitis. I have been suffering with the symptoms for over 12 years. I've had rotator cuff surgery on the left shoulder, 15 years ago. It seems I had bursitis at that time, as my rehab from the surgery didn't work. The right shoulder soon got bad, probably due to compensating for the left. Up until last week, all scans were apparently clear, despite me knowing for sure there was some kind of impingement going on. I have muscle wastage in both shoulders and have extremely skinny arms. My back is also constantly painful as I can't do back strengthening exercises, due to my painful shoulders. Any shoulder exercises I've tried become too painful after a few days. I've lost years of my life to this condition and I have suicidal ideation. I've been unable to work for years, due to this and problems I have with my pelvis. Now I have to wait months to see a specialist., who is probably going to want to give me a steroid injection. I've had numerous steroid injections in my shoulders already and I had a massive allergic reaction to the last one. I'm so depressed. I'm trapped in my body.
That was great. I have similar type of injury where the specialist want to do surgery to fix but I refused and searched for alternate treatment and came across shockwave treatment and in 6 weeks I could move my arm. I'm interested in the treatment you prescribe.
I was doing gym for years and was fit and healthy.. then pandemic happend and gyms closed and i took a break from gym.. then i just woke up in rhe middle of night with aching shoulder pain.. got worst and worst over following weeks and can't raise my arm above shoulder height... ultra sound detects bursitis and swollen tendons and muscles... gyms re opened and am dying to get back to gym... thoracic spine extensions and foam rolling has helped and i can rqise my arm higher and less pain... can i cure this 100% by continuing this within next week or 2? Thanks
🔥 it BURNS! It doesn’t go away permanently. Live w/ it or try surgery. My shoulder 🔥 burns 🥵- 1st Doc was correct....never goes away. My 1st ‘episode’ in 1990, hospital, thought I broke my shoulder somehow. Afterwards, older nurse said, “You have bursitis & only non movement of shoulder joint will make it better.” Now 2019 & STILL acts up w/🔥 BURNING! Some days better than others. It’ll be good for 7 or 8 months then🔥! Suffer through it and keep immobile. Drink tons of water, pop the pills. Ya move it, ya aggregate it! 🔥
@@John-kv1xz well, I understand your way of thinking, however, the bursa “sack” must be allowed time to “fill” again with “lube”, if you will. In mine and many other cases, the longer one can keep it immobile the quicker it rebounds w/ little pain when you’re forced to move it. Mind you, I’m no doctor but in my case the older nurse that I spoke w/ in ‘90 was correct. (See my original comment) I’ve delt w/ it for 30 yrs… just my 2¢.

I agree, I have had years of right shoulder pain, tests, shots....my best results seen after starting weight training.
You totally skipped what this person/provider did, what the real diagnosis was, what was truly going on before going into the rehab program here.

This video has been way more helpful then most videos I've been searching for about my shoulder problem
Just get to the point!!!
Indeed😴😴😴
It's important to know patients history
Seriously
i can understand her pain. i do have such pain for 13years, im doing exercise from motivationaldoc. his videos are really helpful😀pain gone almost 70%
screw all 30 doctors😡
PRP injections healed my tendinitis. Along with physical therapy.
i did 40 reps of dumbbell row lastnight before bed and in the morning the pain on my shoulder is gone...thank so much...
how is ur pain now?
Can you show the exercises she did to cure herself?
Yes, please?

Michael Shaver Ginger KIND , don’t live in pain. I’ve had bursitis for almost 3 months now. The pain was bad and I medicated with ibuprofen and Voltarin(anti-inflammatory) but that just masked the pain to get thru work(labourer)
3 weeks ago I started hitting the gym to concentrate on fixing my shoulder, this is going awesome and the pain is nearly gone.
Lookup smashweRx video on bursitis and do the 3 exercises he has on there- these are vital and must be done! Start with a light weight for the kettle exercise but make sure they are done. Also Search Bob and Brad and attempt a few of the exercise’s they have. Don’t over do it but you will need to push thru the discomfort.
Thank me later 😀
@@jasonburgoyne3200 hi, could you please give us the link to this Smashwerx's vid ? Thank you in advance
Wow this is literally my story right now
The paint is still wet after this video!
Your video gave people hope but several people have asked what were the exercises and NO response from you. I hope I didn't miss where you posted them, if you in fact did. Monitor your video's you post and respond to the questions other wise your audience will leave you, unless you don't care.
Left shoulder started popping in March 2024. Now October 2024, dealing with varying degrees of pain in an upper front shoulder muscle, sometimes spasms, limited range of motion behind my back, but I refuse to stop stretching and moving despite pain. I keep thinking, "I need to see a doctor about this," but already certain I'll reject any talk of surgery or shots -- just *NO!* Maybe it's my imagination? --- but it *seems* that bicep curls make my shoulder feel better. Somehow I think I'm on the right track with weights. We'll see!
I was told I had bursitis for two months. I listened to this video and tried the dumbbell row. Next day my shoulder went back into its proper groove, if you like ( I felt it move, judder and pop) and the pain of two months ended instantly.
notanfningain what is dumbbell row
So, when you download the ebook it states the following "The author and publisher are not medical practitioners and make no claims of medical expertise. " Care to elaborate on that, Matt Hsu?
I always think that where there is a blood and nerve supply, it must be possible to stage a come back...
Wow guys THANK YOU! I've been almost a year with the bursitis pain, with aching during the night and pulsing pain. I've been feeling maybe i could try to do so light weight am curls and then I see this, yes! and I'm also find a gentle yoga helps too along with swimming in the cold ocean. But as soon as I do a few things or hold my new grandson :( the pain is back. So I will give this a go and fingers crossed the consistency and correct form etc... will help. Ty for the hope!

@@jasonburgoyne3200 thank you for the advice! I've been suffering with mild shoulder pain for about 8 months and a couple of weeks ago my arm became almost useless from intense pain and inability to move it for no known reason. Too afraid to go to PT or ultrasound as prescribed after doing a Zoom appointment with my primary doc. Been icing and taking ibuprofen and gentle exercises and it's improved greatly but hate taking pills and it's obviously not a long term fix.
If not a cortisone injection may be the answer. Good luck.
I understand the pain here too I’ve been to physical therapy 2 times been on muscle relaxers then on anti inflammatory meds now on my third round of cortizone shots :( still the pain comes back and I get this burning sensation I had my second mri a couple weeks ago and today I found out I have right shoulder bursitis I feel like my life has really been supper hard I have 3 young kids ages 2,4 and 6 and it’s hard to do my daily chores like dishes vacuuming laundry it doesn’t mater if I lit anything it’s the lifting on the entire arm itself. Supper debilitating and I’m now very sad to go to my next ortho apt because I feel it’s going to be the same thing all over again physical therapy another shot or anti inflammatory meds. It’s devastating :( I’m terrified and devastated I just want to get back to being normal 😭.
Don't give up. It's very important to combine PT exercises with daily stretches, and against pain, regular cooling with ice packs. Mobility (but not over-using) is the key to improvement, because an immobile shoulder means "petrification" of the negative conditions. In between the exercises, rest is important. Also, see the shoulder exercises of "Bob & Brad", and "Motivational Doc, Dr. Alan Mandell" on TH-cam.
Ur not alone i have burning neck shoulders sciatica nerve pain all over my body tmj bursitis in both my shoulders and i feel like a drag on my gf i get alot of suicidal thoughts but i fight every day ive been shot 3 times at 18 and healing from 3 gun shot wounds was easier than this bs i suggest u show ur kids how to do chores and help around the house dont be like my mom she never showed us how to do chores and we became lazy fucks
I’m crying because it’s the same for me. Has it gotten better?
I have had shoulder bursitis it would hurt so bad psin meds never worked one day i tried the capsicum patch omg it got rid of so much pain
Cj wright The first thing my primary Doc suggested was the capsicum patch and patches with benzocaine type numbing agents unfortunately none of them worked me. I am happy to know she was giving me good advice that just didn't work instead of messing with me :) I am also happy for your success.
@@tomskiswitch so did your bursitis get cured?
what were the exercises???
Inspirational - thank you.
What I miss is what kind of exercises you could do☹️
all this technology and we still fucked.
There is a cure but then pharmaceutical companies will go broke welcome to hell bro
This is a crock of bull. Where are the exercises!!!!
My dull aching sensation is felt in between left shoulder blades, at times once a month I feel a crack followed by an almighty sharp pain. My left arm creaks and crunches when I left it. Pain is felt slowly as something is pressed against my back, like the back of a high chair. Instant relief comes from sleeping on opposite side or sitting on a stool, or going for a walk or run. I have had this pain slowly getting worser and more pronounced over a stretch of 9 years. Now I'm also getting weakness in hips especially when I'm sitting. Doctors have not found the cause.
True.. U need to keep exercising in the gym and know ur limits
John Doe
An this shit sucks !!! Best prevent !
Exercise does not 'cure ' everything... this video wasn't really helpful beyond 'get a second opinion' cross your fingers and maybe it'll go away if it's Not degenerative... many people's pain never stops and never will from disease process
I have gone through three years of no solutions. Feels like muscle or tendon is out of place in upper right arm that causes pain when I rotate shoulder when standing straight.
So what did you make her do instead of the one year programe she was given???
This is a tease!! So WHAT are the exercises?
im a 38 yr old trucker. been lifting weights for about 15 years on and off. recently this year i had a naggin pain in shoulder. in the front. all of a sudden that nagging pain turned into some serious pain. cant reach across my chest to wash opposite arm without cringing. putting hand in back pocket hurts. a lot of normal movements hurt really bad. doctor took xray. said calcific buristus and put me on anti inflammitors and cortisone shot.. didnt get any relief. just dulled it a bit... went back 3 weeks later. another cortisone shot but a diffrent location and anti inflammitroes. this time it reall dulled pain but i knew it was still there underneath the drug fog. im doing PT but some of the exersies hurt and not in a good way and although i say it hurts they want me to push thru.. personaly i think that aggravting the issue. the e stim and deep tissue therapy feels nice and opens up my range of motion but the pain is still there and its a very localizied area in the front shoulder only. going for mri soon. and take it from there. taking a full month off from weight lifting didnt do anything so im still working out but not doing anything that bothers it
Try Kratom for pain, turmeric , Nopal cactus juice concentrate, and Epsom salt baths followed by ice. Devil's claw or white willow bark may also be an option as long as you're not taking another aspirin blood thinner therapy
e l Seems like a similar scenario to my frozen shoulder episode a few years ago. The pain and restriction of movement was pretty awful and, like you, the exercises I was given made matters worse. The pain went, as they said it would, after about six months and I was just left with a lot of restricted movement. I began the exercises again about a year and a half later and this time it worked - my shoulder has now regained about 90% of full movement. There is a little bit of discomfort now and again but nothing too bad.

@@jasonburgoyne3200 I appreciate the suggestion. I'm looking it up now.
Are you better?
TCM - Acupuncture, cupping, & moxibustion. Then rest the shoulder for a couple of days. 😃
@Upright Health Please do an indepth vid focusing on this condition. Ive watched your other related vids however I suspect Mariana had a much more extensive rehabilitation routine, please tell us all the exercises as she says.. "there are sooo many exercises"
Yes please
Nothing that was said between them help me one bit,
Why not just get surgery?
Did the cortisone shot reset and heal it enough first to allow this treatment afterwards to work?
Going on 11 years of bursitis and shoulder impingement pain. I wish Upright Health was in my area. I can hardly sleep.
I hope you find relief. Have you been doing any stretches and strengthing for your shoulder? I have a forward neck posture and an exercise playlist you can check out. It could be your posture and the position of hour hand if you use the computer often.
I’ve been rowing for 6 months and no difference
Hello sir how can communicate with u privately
I had partially tore my supraspinatus tendon. I have bursitis and tendonitis. My doctor gave me a cortisol shot. So I was actually feeling better because I would go to the gym and lift heavy weights. Later the next steroid injection I had a cortisone flare. Right now I am using an ice pack, give myself ipamorelin and BPC-157 peptide injections. I take magnesium and drink turmeric with apple cider vinegar. I do stretches on the pull up bar. I feel less pain, but hopefully I will be back to normal.
Are you better?
Wow this sounds like exactly the same problem I am experiencing. Has the peptide shot helped? How does it work exactly
I have bone spurs on the AC
Joint. Pushing against bursa
Do I need to have surgery to remove bone growth?
And how much did all of this cost?!
Hi Doctor! if Cortisone injection injected in Bursa , does it automatically get spread evenly or dose stay local at the point it get injected?
Her itchiness during the video: B12 deficiency?
Yeah should've shown the exercises that she's done that helped her, this video was a little stretched out I think..
I have bursitis suddenly now 8 months no clue where it came from and saw a physiotherapist for exercises I don't think it's helped much, I still get intense pain at the corner levels of the stretch and rotation of the shoulder, i can't even hold my hands behind my back, cannot scratch my back at all anymore, pain when I lift my pants up, it's ridiculous.. I am trying acupuncture now for the next 3 weeks to see if that helps, I'm going to do whatever I can but tbh I don't see it going away because it's there and if these exercises or natural ways of healing don't work I have no choice but to go to cortisone injections as last resort
I'm with you. Had it since 2018, hasn't gotten any better. Best of luck to you, I hope you find relief. Chronic pain is so debilitating, no one deserves it.
Are you better?
Thanks!
Huge thanks!
So what exercises should we do?
same exact experience.
wow.
Sorry, I found them. Thanks for you help, great videos
Glad you found them! :-)
I'd like to see also. Can you show me?
to much talking ,get to the point ,
Dumb bell rows ! But you need to demonstrate!
I have shoulder bursitis like 8 months I don't even know what to do last 1 monts I have pain everyday I go work and then I start to have pain I come home in the night my pain gone and when I start work again I have pain again 😩 😫
Mariana seems too young to have a really bad shoulder ache. Is she an athlete? Was she in a crash? What brought on her shoulder condition for such a long time. Video interview does not say. She only says that "She woke up one morning and her shoulder ached" pretty bad.
Age doesn't matter with bursitis mine started when I was 24 in 2014 only sorted out this year at 28 my pain started 1 day after a work shift I had a steroid injection and it was ok for a while in the end before I had an operation in March I couldn't put my hair up struggled to dress had numbness and tingling in my arm and hand struggled to sleep was in pain constantly even after a nerve blocker and steroid injection
Lou4Guy007 I'm 20 and I have bursitis from lifting weights, have you found anything that works yet? I don't wanna be like this forever!

Hi, is it possible to get a "simple" bursectomy without acromioplasty ?
Great and helpful video!!100!! Question: Will I need a referral from my doctor to get an MRI?Is a. MRI always necessary?
Yes you always need a referral. You can ask your usual physician. I did a mri after having issues with my shoulder for 9 months now. I wanted to know what was going on. You can always try xray too if mri is too costly for you. I knew that xray would not show any nerve problems because I was having numbness so that's why I decided to do mri. Turns out I have bursitis and its aggravated from lifting heavy stuff, my posture and using my hand alot. Hope you find relief. I've been doing exercises for forward next posture and that has been so helpful.
@@0famz Are you better?
@@user-wb2yv7ll9d not fully better. Still have issues if I lift heavy stuff and use my hand alot
WHAT IS A DUMBELL ROW ! dont tell us how to hopefully fix the pain but not explain the exercise. please
Hi Sandra, here's a good video on dumbell rows - th-cam.com/video/HE5IBnWYEq4/w-d-xo.html
I'm here after 2 months of pain.
I had this for 9 years. It developed during pregnancy. Ice pack and heating pad and tens unit helps.
green lipped shell fish MUSSEL resolved mt 6 tears of shoulder pain in just 2 weks
So no one knows what to do. Great. Modern medicine. Maybe leeches next
my mom woke up about a month ago with really bad hip pain that radiates down the back of her leg, not long after she was diagnosed with bursitis, since then she's been on pain killers for like a month straight including Ibuprofen, she finds it hard to get around even before the bursitis could you give me advice on what maybe she could try to be able to get better and hopefully stop with having to take painkillers? she's at the point where even her behaviour is changing because of it.
thanks in advance.
I fell backwards and stiff armed the landing which impacted my shoulder
My bursa sack squeezed through to create a bulge on my skin
It hurt for a couple of months but I got most function back but the bulge isn’t budging
Can I aspirate it, should I ?
Nothing lasts forever.
Did you ask the girl out?
I'm 39 and I've just been diagnosed with chronic bi-lateral subacromial bursitis. I have been suffering with the symptoms for over 12 years. I've had rotator cuff surgery on the left shoulder, 15 years ago. It seems I had bursitis at that time, as my rehab from the surgery didn't work. The right shoulder soon got bad, probably due to compensating for the left. Up until last week, all scans were apparently clear, despite me knowing for sure there was some kind of impingement going on.
I have muscle wastage in both shoulders and have extremely skinny arms. My back is also constantly painful as I can't do back strengthening exercises, due to my painful shoulders. Any shoulder exercises I've tried become too painful after a few days.
I've lost years of my life to this condition and I have suicidal ideation. I've been unable to work for years, due to this and problems I have with my pelvis. Now I have to wait months to see a specialist., who is probably going to want to give me a steroid injection. I've had numerous steroid injections in my shoulders already and I had a massive allergic reaction to the last one. I'm so depressed. I'm trapped in my body.
That was great. I have similar type of injury where the specialist want to do surgery to fix but I refused and searched for alternate treatment and came across shockwave treatment and in 6 weeks I could move my arm. I'm interested in the treatment you prescribe.
Bursitis is cause fever?
I was doing gym for years and was fit and healthy.. then pandemic happend and gyms closed and i took a break from gym.. then i just woke up in rhe middle of night with aching shoulder pain.. got worst and worst over following weeks and can't raise my arm above shoulder height... ultra sound detects bursitis and swollen tendons and muscles... gyms re opened and am dying to get back to gym... thoracic spine extensions and foam rolling has helped and i can rqise my arm higher and less pain... can i cure this 100% by continuing this within next week or 2? Thanks
lot of tlking and when it comes to exercises: just rows?!!! c mon
Same problem i have sir please need some help
Please do help sir
What r the exercises lol😂
Is a TRX row as effective as a DB row?
Michael Dooley more effective
🔥 it BURNS! It doesn’t go away permanently. Live w/ it or try surgery. My shoulder 🔥 burns 🥵-
1st Doc was correct....never goes away. My 1st ‘episode’ in 1990, hospital, thought I broke my shoulder somehow. Afterwards, older nurse said, “You have bursitis & only non movement of shoulder joint will make it better.” Now 2019 & STILL acts up w/🔥 BURNING! Some days better than others. It’ll be good for 7 or 8 months then🔥!
Suffer through it and keep immobile.
Drink tons of water, pop the pills.
Ya move it, ya aggregate it!
🔥
So does it go away
Sounds very painful ... I recommend you listening to Mufti menk can be uplifting sometimes.
@@spyderwanted8642 no
If you don’t move your shoulder. It will get worse
@@John-kv1xz well, I understand your way of thinking, however, the bursa “sack” must be allowed time to “fill” again with “lube”, if you will. In mine and many other cases, the longer one can keep it immobile the quicker it rebounds w/ little pain when you’re forced to move it. Mind you, I’m no doctor but in my case the older nurse that I spoke w/ in ‘90 was correct. (See my original comment) I’ve delt w/ it for 30 yrs… just my 2¢.
She needs to see the doctor about the croaky endings to her sentences. Is she broken
Thank you this was a great video. Do you have a similar vid for wrist pain/strain? I saw your vid making the dowel tied to the weight.
