      @@shyamsundertripathi1301I found a way around it that has made it work. The pain was never that bad that I couldn’t bear it. But when dumbbell bench pressing, smith machine military pressing, or anything movement of that sort considerably improved when I made my grip narrower. I’m taking barely outside of shoulder width. Incorporating some kind of “rehab” exercise also helped me a lot. I found a video like this that helped.

    Doctor, this video is kind of a life changer. I had a shoulder injury when I fell and it wrenched my shoulder. This was two years ago. I noticed I had some pain, so because it was a work injury I was given physical therapy. At no time was it considered that I had bicep tendonitis. I did everything wrong. My docs did everything wrong. Two years later and I am wondering why I am in worse pain, sometimes staggering pain. I'd be doing my exercises crying. Since discovering your video I have let it settle down, now that i know what is really going on, and i have had four pain free days and good sleep, which i haven't had in months. Now I know what to do. I can't thank you enough. This saved me from worse injury. Im letting that arm rest!

      The place I had it was right at the front of the shoulder where the shoulder starts to bend into the arm.
      I sympathise with you. It is a really annoying and constant pain. It is difficult to get relief even when you go to sleep. It also takes a long time to resolve.
      Physiotherapy worked for me. But, I think it's very important to only do it within the limits of your pain. I think I did the exercises too hard at the start.
      The only other thing I can suggest is the "hanging" exercise that has come to the fore fairly recently. Are you familiar with that? Have you tried it? It's supposed to work very well.

      It is possible - compression can sometimes cause injuries. And if you sleep with your arms high up under the pillow that can possibly increase the chances for some people.

    The bad thing with the biceps tendinitis is that it can cause an impingement. Impingement then causes bursitis and supraspinatus tears. The shoulder is so complex. If you do not allow to calm one thing down then it affects the rotator cuff tendons. I even got small labrum tears from my biceps tendinitis. There are still some movements that I cannot do, but I’m still optimistic that I can fix it without surgery. Thank you again for this very useful information.

      how is the bicep tendonitis going now?

  • @dominicconte2183
    @dominicconte2183 2 года назад +1

    Best explanation I have found. Chin up challenge re-triggered my inflammation. Reverse dips and stretching did not make it feel any better. My chiropractor massaged it one time and started doing more back and rear shoulder strengthening and it feels completely better.

    I learned so much from this video! This is so relatable . I’ve been going through this for so long with both of my arms . They flare up quick and I have been looking for ways to strengthen my arms but am scared of flare up lol

    • @SportsInjuryPhysio
      @SportsInjuryPhysio  2 года назад +8

      Mine has a tendency to flare up really easy when I take up exercise after a long break. In my experience the two factors that are most important is 1. Start with very light weights and 2. Choose movements that are below 90 degrees shoulder flexion and that moves the arm in straight lines. Once you have built up a good base strength, then you can progress to more exciting things. Good starter exercises are Seated rows, Assisted pull-up but very light, bench press machine but keeping elbows lower than shoulders at about 45 degree angle. Go light and don't work to too hard until you've observed how they respond and perhaps only twice a week for a start.

      only cross friction, and only if it doesnt hurt. apparently within a minute of cross friction massage it should feel slightly better/ numb.

      be careful not to overdo it though, i have been doing it occasionally for what i can only guess is bicep tendonitis/ shoulder impingement etc, and at one point i over did it i think and it got worse, im not sure though. i may have neck issues or something, i know my neck was sore the day before from watching tv at a bad angle for too long. so maybe i have nerve issues stemming from my neck as well as shoulder impingement. that would kind of make sense. explain a few things. im guessing cross friction massage is not good for nerves.

    I have been dealing with this pain for about a month now and i couldnt explain what the heck it was or where exactly it is. It happened overnight when i was sleeping on my side and when i sleep i keep rolling on to it leaving me in the same pain day after day. I have watched videos after videos and went a massage therapist, which made it worse btw, and still it was never quite the right spot. This description is dead on! I was taking advil daily for it but it didnt seem to even touch it. Now i have answers. Today i did electrotherapy on it which allowed me to do my work without near as much pain. Tonight i am going to tiger balm it and wrap it up to see if that can help the healing process, but i am also going to do every single thing you just mentioned bc out of about 50 videos yours was exactly what i needed! thank you so much!

    Hi I went to a sports doctor and got diagnosed with bicep tendinitis, but they offered me dextrose shots for my shoulder spots to help lubricate/calm the muscle. I felt it gave temporary relief but the doctor was not bothered to actually get me on a healing plan. Health profiteering at its best. Anyways, I have noticed that with rest the pain gets considerably lesser. Trying the steps in your video. Also a word of caution, be careful with the treatment plans that the doctors give.

    That was very useful. I am in my third month of rehab after my rotator cuff tear and biceps tendinitis with my physiotherapist. My previous physiotherapist was so bad. She showed me two of the exercises that you said were absolutely to avoid. And afterwards came the tear and the big injury. It’s so important to have a good physiotherapist. Thank goodness I found one at last! The previous therapist stretched my painful biceps tendon like crazy and she also told me to do something like tricep dips to strengthen my trapezius. That was when the whole thing got worse.
