Hi,
as you can tell i've been diagnosed with
Tendinopathy Subscapularis. I've had this
bad shoulder for about 3 years now, caused
by my mate twisting my arm back too far. I
was wondering about some effective
treatment to relieve the pain and
stiffness i experience everyday. So far
the only thing that seems to help are
glucozamine and condrioton tablets and i
dont even have athritis! I've seen a
physio who gave me a resistance band to
exercise with but unfortunately it has
been unsuccessful despite the pain it
causes to work out with. Swimming only
seems moderately helpful and only relieves
the pain for the day i swim on. I also
practice Tai chi but it doesn't seem to
relieve the pain and stiffness either.
Have you guys got any advice that might
help?
Kind regards
Dan

I'd suggest that you get an MRI of he
shoulder to identify possible damage to
cartilage, tendons and/or ligaments.
Physical activity that causes pain is NOT
good, as the shoulder joint is the most
flexible and prine to injury than any
other joint.
