[@l.a.3096]

Dr. Jo thank you for your videos. In the flexion exercise, you said 90 degrees. My question is: 90 degrees even if there is pain? Or I should stop before I experience pain? the other question is, how long does it take to recover? I have been in therapy for several months and I started to work with weights and I had pain so I went back just to exercises for strengthening.

[@nowakezoneforever6021]

One session of this video’s suggestions has given me excellent pain relief. At different times about 8-10 years ago I injured both shoulders, should have had rehab but didn’t take the time. Now I’m paying for it at a time where I’m retired and spending more time outdoors camping, bushcrafting, and managing my 75 acre forest. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to providing us with very helpful information.

[@AskDoctorJo]

You're welcome, and thanks. Glad it helped.

[@cbcdesign001]

I have had a shoulder issue for 8 years. Tendonitis and pain in my shoulder blade just sitting in a chair so for 8 years I avoided leaning into sofa backs to avoid pain. Then over the last year, two sudden jolt type dog leash pulling events caused the shoulder to freeze up for a week or more each time. After the second, more painful episode, I tried your stretching exercises and my shoulder is sooooo much better now. 60 seconds of front to back pendulum, front side to side pendulum, circular in both directions all with a 1KG weight and the behind the back stick holding stretch has worked wonders. Thank you. I do these every day now.

I’ve saved this video and hope your exercises help. I’ve had shoulder impingement for 7 years, and I’m in SO much pain every day. It’s been a run around from doctors who say there’s nothing wrong, or that my scans come back clean. I can probably move it maybe 20° off my side, other than that I have the worst pain imaginable. I’m honestly so sick of this pain 😢😢.

[@celicharvel]

I’ll be seeing an orthopedic doctor in about 2 weeks. I sure hope they dont give me the run around over my shoulder issue like they have you. It clearly sounds like there is something wrong with your shoulder, hope its good now.

[@anastupar4003]

Hello Doctor Jo, I apologize in advance for writing such a long comment, but I'm in dire need of some advice. I've been having problems with my shoulders for quite a while. I'm a swimmer and about 2 and a half years ago I injured my right shoulder. It was a minor rotator cuff injury that healed in 4 months with the right treatment. Soon after that, my left shoulder started hurting and I immediately went to see my doctor again. She put me on a couple of different treatments (electrotherapy and kinesio taping), but I still couldn't get back to exercising. It turned out to be tendinitis (Dolor extremitatis M796, Morbi synoviae et tendinis alii M67). I was told that I should take a 6-month break from swimming and physical activities that might make my injury worse. I went to see a different physical therapist and she was shocked because I wasn't given any rehab exercises like the ones she later showed me and the ones you showed in the video. She told me I can go back to the pool in a month. After the break I had a check up. My shoulder was still in a bad condition. My doctor decided to put me on treatment again. I finished it a month ago. Now, I only feel pain when I put a lot of pressure on it (while swimming, doing push-ups or even during a certain motion). What do you suggest me to do? Looking forward to your answer😊

[@AskDoctorJo]

Are you still doing the stretches and exercises your physical therapist gave you? That would really be the best option. Unfortunately, I don't know what else to suggest since I can't evaluate you. If you can, you might want to go back to see your physical therapist for a follow up.

I had to go to a&e hospital yesterday. Woke up and could not move my arm, pain in my shoulder and bicep is extremeley sore. My shoulder is that sensitive a finger running across it hurts. Got xray and examination, got told it was tendinitis, to go back for steroid injection. But its my right arm/shoulder and i am right handed so i am off work and in a LOT of pain, even doing the pendulum is sore. But after it, it feels a lot better. Thank you for this video

[@jerusalemnewyork]

Great video, Dr. Jo! So a basic question: I've been starting to do your tendonitis exercises in this video - if certain of the exercises hurt - clear pain in a tendon area of the shoulder - should I continue to do that exercise? How much pain should I experience with a particular exercise? Is the pain an indication that the stretch is GOOD to do, or NOT good to do? Thanks!

[@AskDoctorJo]

Thanks! If the pain stops as soon as you stop the exercise, it should be fine. However, if that pain stays after you stop, then you shouldn't do it.

Hi dear Doctor, I am suffering day and night from a tendinitis in my right shoulder and I do not know what I should do to stop the constant pain. According to my doctor, I must not use my right arm for a long time, but now my whole arm and wrist are painful as well. I really feel lost because even the medical treatment does not work. What can I do? Thank you in anticipation for reading my post.

[@AskDoctorJo]

Not using your arm at all is a bad idea. That usually makes it worse. Did you have an injury? Did you have any imaging done, like x-rays, MRI? That seems like a lot of pain for tendonitis.

[@rosesaffron8149]

AskDoctorJo I wrote you a post previously to inform you that I had a scan just with a conclusion: tendinopathy. But there are no further details that could help me know what I have.

[@Ace-zb5xr]

That loosening exercise at the beginning is great. Thanks a lot! For the other exercises, do they need to be more difficult based on my strength level? I can still do dips, front lever, and pull ups without too much irritation. Also, with a tendonitis, should I focus on static or dynamic movements when training to keep irritation down to a minimum?

[@AskDoctorJo]

You're welcome! Not really, they can be a stronger band, but therapeutic exercises are more about retraining the muscles, not necessarily bulking them up. The bigger strengthening would come after you heal and there are no longer imbalances in the shoulder (like returning to gym activities). Static is more towards the beginning, and then dynamic once you are starting to feel better, so it really depends on how far along you are in your recovery.

Hi Jo, Great content as per usual. I've performed the wall stretches you reference in this video and have given myself a dead arm/shoulder. Is the normal or should it be something I need to worry about? For reference, this is the first time I've done these stretches and never had this issue before.

Thanks. How long has it lasted? You might have just had it in an impinged position, but if it last for a while, you might want to get it checked out.

Thanks for responding. It has started to dissipate after an hour. Funny thing is there is no pain. I definitely have an impingement on the shoulder in question which my osteopath thinks is down to bicep tendinitis from overuse (weight lifting five times p/w). Whilst I was performing the stretch I felt the 'good pain' you have previously referred too and after my shoulders have a lot more range than before. Could it be down to the shoulder not having been put in this stretched position before?

Most likely that's what it is. Good luck!

After the pain is gone, is there a general timeframe that you should wait before resuming strenuous activity like weightlifting?

[@AskDoctorJo]

Slowly progressing back into it is the best way, instead of going right back into the strenuous activity.
