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!

[@moggridge1]

Spot on as always. This accords with my personal experience exactly, including the causes, the desire to stretch the shoulder back which only makes things worse, the incorrect prescription of exercises with the band, and the long healing time. I wish I'd known this before I went through my six months of hell! :-)

[@rolliebeatz713]

Did it take you six months to heal from it?

[@TimmyTurner421]

Same here. It was misdiagnosed as an impingement and I've done a helluva lot of external rotation and it only made it worse... 1 year of hell. I've now rested it for the past 2 months and the swelling already reduced a lot.

[@moggridge1]

@@amitsharma-ms7hw Well, my friend Amit, I got my shoulder pain from doing resistance training. It was from doing bicep curls with a weight that was too heavy for me really. 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. If you don't know about it, I shall find a video link for you (there is also a book). Moggridge

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]

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.

[@jondoc7525]

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. But sleeping on your side is a natural thing to do, so it may be that it was something that you did in the day or perhaps a too hard mattress that contributed.

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.

This was a really great video. I was struggling to unscrew a pipe with two wrenches, went way too hard with it, and the next day woke up and it felt like a grenade went off in my shoulder. Everything you've said on here resonates with my experience, to a T. Pain when driving, reach back, tenderness on the tendon, etc. I feel like this is the most accurate bicep tendonitis video on KZbin. Superbly informative, I am very appreciative of the knowledge here.

Glad it helped!

Amazing video, so informative. I actually was experincing this issue along with shoulder and pinshed neck on my left side, all at once! so imagine how painful it was! for about a month, and post the medicine treatment, I decided to do some rehab exercises at home, all of them are exactley to some extent as you described, especially regarding bicep and shoulder. Now I'm much better and the injury is almost not noticeable. I can't wait to get back to my training track. Thank you so much for this🌹

well presented. i'm an 81yr.old competitive swimmer and weight trainer. my left shoulder has been giving me issues for awhile. i've been at this for 40yrs. or so and i'm sure my shoulders have been through a lot but this video cleared things up as i was looking for contraindications in rhe weight room. some changes in arm position in the pool will also need to be explored. thank you for an informative piece of info.

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

Thanks, and good luck with your recovery!

Great video, thanks!

[@klh8878]

Thanks so much! I’ve been doing those rotator cuff exercises and also cable triceps push downs with my hands facing down for years as part of my routine. Finally had an MRI and now have an explanation of the cause of my pain for years. But now I know what things to avoid or cut back on.

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

Good luck with your recovery!
