What's The Secret To Fixing Shoulder Tendonitis?

Far too many people have tried all sorts of treatments for shoulder tendonitis, like slings to immobilize, corticosteroid injections, anti-inflammatories, ice packs, stretching and strengthening, etc....but still have pain and problem.
Why is that?
It's because the treatments failed to effectively deal with all the necessary factors that caused the shoulder pain.
If you have one or more shoulder tendons that hurt, your doctors and (usually) your PT's will focus on the tendons. They'll tell you that you have a shoulder tendon problem.
But you don't. The tendon pain is a symptom of a bigger dynamic. You have to correct the larger dynamic if you want to fix the tendon 'problem'.
The secret to fixing shoulder tendonitis shouldn't be a secret, since it's pretty much common sense.
Tendonitis in a shoulder doesn't just happen out of the blue for no reason, and it's not caused by 'repetitive' activity.
Tendinitis of the shoulder (and everywhere else) is primarily made up of three factors:
- Muscle and connective tissue tightness
- Inflammation process
- Nutritional lack
If you don't adequately and successfully address each of those three factors, then your shoulder isn't going to get better (or won't stay better for very long).
Shoulder pain is reversible when you go about it the RIGHT way.

@@TendonitisExpert If all you want to do is go over the super-basic items you mention, get rid of the unnecessary repetition and make it a 2 minute video that efficiently covers the material. There are lots of videos on YT that cover the tightness and inflammation and the mechanics which cause the problems in much more meaningful detail (Jeff Cavalier is one such youtuber). The one element of your triad that is not as commonly discussed is the nutrition, so you should have briefly gone over what nutrition is relevant. To not do so makes this video vacuous.

@@TendonitisExpert You have thoroughly explained contributing/leading factors to enable an understanding on why the pain is there from tendonitis. But unfortunately you have not covered fixing the problem. You named the KZbin video “what’s the secret to fixing shoulder tendonitis” and proceed to link your book/web link and explain that this will tell us how to fix tendonitis. Very misleading video.

[@TendonitisExpert]

@ThePlasticriver Well, in my defense, I named the video 'what's the secret to fixing shoulder tendonitis', and then thoroughly explained the factors that must be effectively dealt with to fix it. Factors that if ignored, as most all therapies do, will result in no fix. Whoever told you to rest, immobilize, have better ergonomics, stop lifting, stretch and strengthen, take anti-inflammatories, etc, didn't know 'the secret'. If you had known that, you wouldn't have wasted time on therapies that weren't likely to work (or work for very long). 'How to' fix tendonitis would fall under a different title, that included something like 'how to' in the title, and would describe exactly how to effectively address those factors.

[@joelreis5366]

Was wondering why this video has so many dislikes. Took me 8 minutes to realize its just a sales pitch. Disappointing...

[@TendonitisExpert]

How does pointing to the product at the end invalidate and/or make the entire thing a sales pitch? This complaint shows up a lot. I presume because people expect an entire program for free, and don't want to know why they're in pain and are just looking for a fix...and expect the entire fix to be in an 8 minute video.

[@joelreis5366]

@@TendonitisExpert I saw 3 videos for info on this. Yours was the first. The other 2 had a better explanation and possible ways to fix it, which i tried and saw a bit of relief, without anyone trying to sell me anything. But hey good luck on your book sales.

[@TendonitisExpert]

If a bit of relief is what you're after, the free tips and tricks videos are great for that. I'm not trying to be sassy there....I'm trying to say that I sell a program that shows people how to reverse their tendonitis dynamic so they can get back to full function, and pain free activity. Most of my customers are people who have spent months and years and even decades on the free options...and the doctors and PT's etc. If you just have minor symptoms that haven't been around very long, then yeah I can see how one could expect a fix from free tips and tricks on youtube and how one could even be resentful that somebody would have the gall to charge for helpful information. But people with minor symptoms, as a general statement, will, farther down the line, be looking for a fix, and will have learned that this thing here, and that thing there, and everything else they've tried, hasn't fixed it. So a complete program that shows you how to reverse the multiple causes of the tendonitis pain causing dynamic will then look attractive. I hope you never get to the point where you need it.

As per the title, the video isn't about how to fix. It's about what to fix. Which is far more than your doctor will tell you. If you don't know what to fix, how can you select the right methods to fix? If a doctor tells you to rest and use anti-inflammatories, or get surgery, now you can apply the question: "Will that fix/address/reverse the three main factors that need to be addressed?" If not, then one might want to not waste time/money/effort on said methods.

[@yeseniarobles4289]

This video could have just be titled “causes of shoulder pain”, it’s extremely vague and only points out the obvious reasons as to why it hurts but never a “secret to fixing it” because most people suffering from this already know it’s either inflammation or tearing of muscle or ligaments causing tendonitis. Knowing why it hurts is one thing, knowing how to get rid of it is a different story.

[@TendonitisExpert]

1. " it’s extremely vague and only points out the obvious reasons as to why it hurts" I disagree. It tells you exactly why you hurt. The 'secret' is, if you don't address the reasons you're hurting, and adequately, you won't get the recovery you're looking for. 2. "most people suffering from this already know it’s either inflammation or tearing of muscle or ligaments causing tendonitis. That's why most people can't get results. It's not just inflammation, and there can be even disabling pain with zero tearing. Most people have pain but no actual injury. It's a matter of reduced ability to function, due to the three factors described in the video. ALL THREE, as the video says. Not just inflammation. So while most people may 'know' it's from inflammation or tearing, that's at best a third of the problem that needs to be effectively dealt with. 3. "Knowing why it hurts is one thing, knowing how to get rid of it is a different story." I agree partly. Knowing why is EVERYTHING. Address the why(s) and the problem reverses itself. As that has some complication to it, that's what my program is for. But far too many people spend months and years suffering and trying various treatments because they don't know that the tendonitis dynamic is made up of the three factors in the video, so they agree to treatments that don't adequately address all three (or usually, even one of the factors).

[@yeseniarobles4289]

TendonitisExpert the pain came AFTER the injury not before, so saying you have to get rid of inflammation in order to heal tendonitis is kinda like saying you need to get rid of your hair loss in order to get rid of cancer. The inflammation isn’t going to go away until you tackle the main problem that caused the inflammation in the first place which in this case we are specifically talking about tendonitis. Inflammation from diet usually targets your organs first and then it keeps spreading out until eventually your body builds massive amounts of uric acid, but that inflammation is mainly due to a backed up lymphatic system but clogged lymphs don’t cause tendonitis.

[@TendonitisExpert]

1. "saying you have to get rid of inflammation in order to heal tendonitis is kinda like saying you need to get rid of your hair loss in order to get rid of cancer" That is not even close to being correct. 2. What injury, specifically? 3. Inflammation is just one of three primary factors. All three work together to make things worse. Making any one factor better helps the other two improve (all three must be dealt with.

[@timcastle938]

Sorry, but not much "secret" info here. With 32 years of massage experience here I have seen hundreds and hundreds of this issue. If you have inflammation ice it, if micro tears, are the issue you have scar tissue, all"healing" of torn tissues results in scars. Often the scar tissues creates multidirectional force , picture a tendon running from head to toe,with scar tissue running from hip to hip creating a force that somewhat prevents the tendon from moving properly along the line of force applied during contraction. Find a LMT with lots of knowledge and expertise with transverse friction massage. It's not pleasent for the recipient, but it works. 3 secrets, lol. 1. Ice the treatment area till it's numb. Careful of ice burn. No ice on bare skin. 2. Transverse friction. If your LMT doesn't know what that is, find another,they will position your forearm into your low back which will open the joint allowing palpation to find the hottest spot. Once that is found, a braced fingertip is used to strum across the scar breaking it loose, don't panic it's on a microscopic level. Like strumming guitar strings. The first treatment is about 30 seconds, trust me it's going to hurt. Each treatment after will be progressively longer up to five minutes of constant friction.3. after each and every treatment re ice the area. Let the area come back to normal temp. When ready do gentle and slow range of motion. This allows the broken free scar tissue to realign with the force lines.This treatment takes time, multiple factors effect healing, scar density,extent of initial trauma,etc,etc. As far as nutrition, simple. GARBAGE in GARBAGE out!

[@TendonitisExpert]

Direct work on the tendon is/can be great as a recovery technique. Unfortunately it ignores all the causes of microtears. Gargabe in garbage out is true. But when eating a garbage free diet, adequate nutrition (across the board) is a requisite for proper muscle function (and everything else function).

I put up with shoulder pain on both sides for 15yrs! Quick answer for anyone who might feel pain like i did.....it was my sleeping position. I love to sleep on my tummy with both arms bent up and above both sides of my head and that right there was the problem. When i started trialing laying on my sides only, it took roughly 3 weeks for the sharp tear pains to almost go away and about 12 months for it to fully heal. Yeah i know it's hard to break a bad habbit but everytime i woke up during the night and caught myself laying on my belly again i would quickly lay on my side, it was pretty easy to teach myself to break the habbit eventually just dont give up.

Hi there :) It doesn't seem to me that you know as much about tendinitis as you're claiming. From what I can tell, your credentials don't qualify you as an expert. You've spoken in vague generalities in order to appeal to intuition and sell a product, and you've intentionally (I think) used language ("secrets") to make it sound as though you know something the rest of us don't. It's the exact same language used on infomercials. I'm in agreement with you that our healthcare system has failed many, but to claim that you're an expert because you can say "tight muscles cause problems" and that you treat the root cause of the problem instead of symptoms, is comical. How could you prove such a thing? Again, why don't you share some peer-reviewed papers with the rest of us in healthcare that are ignorant to your profound wisdom.

[@jmysflix]

Thanks for the explanation. So a painful shoulder, tightness and pain (including sudden surges) in the upper arm, restricted movement (two months so far) is likely to be tendonitis ?

[@TendonitisExpert]

That's tough to answer, but if there's tightness and pain, there is a tendonitis dynamic (tightness, inflammation, lack of nutrition). There's variations of that, (frozen shoulder, or inflammed bursa, etc) and I don't know your history of activity/injury/etc, but in general, if there's no obvious traumatic cause, the tendonitis dynamic is the first mechanic I'd look at.

Shoulder tendinitis is caused by Rounded Shoulders, your shoulders are not aligned properly when doing things that involve lifting things over your head, or even just above your shoulders. To fix this, you must stretch the front part of your shoulders and your chest area, and strengthen the back part of your shoulders.

[@TendonitisExpert]

How long ago was that? Back to full training? Stretching etc is great. If it takes care of the pain/problem great. Next level, if it makes symptoms go away whenever the symptoms return, great. Nexts level, if/when stretching no longer works, then it's high time for a new game plan.

thanks for this. ive been diagnosed with rotator cff tendonitis and was explained this. but my tightness is on the upper pecs shoulders. sometimes neck and shoulder blade region. currently going thru PT, will be having my neck and traps undergo tens and ultrasound and deep tissue massage. i was working out 3x a week, overloaded my weights the last three weeks and started to feel strained on my left elbow (diagnosed with tennis elbow) and then shoulder and upper pec strains. i was lifting heavy on skullcrushers and shoulder presses and dummbell rows for back. sleeping on my back can be a pain sometimes because my supraspinatus area would ache. i will headed to your site to find out more on how i can avoid rotator cuff tendonitis. you are a lifesaver doc. love what you do. recommending this channel to friends who weightlift. any foods that can help with nutrition insufficiency?

[@TendonitisExpert]

Sorry, there's no magic bullet. No magic pill. One has to (if one wants to get rid of the problem) spend at least a couple minutes learning about the problem, then another couple minutes (at least) to learn about how to fix the problem, and then AT LEAST a couple minutes doing enough of the right things to reverse the causes of the problem.

[@gabrielbertocco1804]

Thank you very much

[@wallyworld6249]

Bought your book on the shoulder and really appreciate the psychological aspect stressing the importance of actually doing the work to recover. The techniques are very well-defined and explained for the average person to understand. I've injured my shoulder from over swimming and have been doing light weight training strengthening exercises for the past 4 months but the pain would always return. I continue to swim with a modified technique. After one day up following your instruction I do notice an improvement although I would say there's a slight increase in pain infrequently but in general it feels better. I do have a question that I hope you will answer regarding continuing my lightweight training. I'm performing various exercises using 3 lb weights that are generally not causing pain. Thank you very much and God bless you

[@TendonitisExpert]

Thanks for the good words. Glad you're doing the work, that's how you get results. What's your question?

[@robertheinig7189]

You didn't tell what to do to fix IT. You only explained what the underlying symptons are. I found this useless other than a link to your web site!

[@TendonitisExpert]

I'm confused by your comment. The video doesn't talk about underlying syptoms at all. It talks about the causes of tendonitis-related shoulder pain, the same caues that keep the pain in place over time, the same causes that can/do make it worse over time.

[@KneelB4NoMan]

Ok, u either DIDN’T cover any exercises to do, or I missed it cuz u put me to sleep with ur rambling. Which was it? 😳

[@TendonitisExpert]

Exercises are very unlikely to fix shoulder tendonitis, which is why you didn't see any in the video. If you're looking for exercises, I'm not your guy.

[@gabosamm]

The most useful video so far:(

[@Dan-ch8kv]

You didn't give any solutions at all. You only pointed out the problems/causes. This isn't helpful.

[@TendonitisExpert]

Do you really think it's not helpful to understand the actual causes of a problem? If so, then how can you assess whether any proposed solution has a chance of working or not?

[@Dan-ch8kv]

I didn't say that. I said you didn't give any solutions. Knowing the cause and giving a solution to fix it are two different things. Appreciate the reply BTW.

[@TendonitisExpert]

You said "You only pointed out the problems/causes. This isn't helpful." I'm just point out that it is incredibly helpful. Doctors etc hand out all sorts of solutions that generally aren't helpful at all. Granted, I'm biased, I work with the people that have done what their doctors and PT's have told them for months and years but still have pain. "Knowing the cause and giving a solution to fix it are two different things." I very much agree with you on that. And, when one knows the causes of tendonitis, and then a doctor prescribes rest or anti-inflammatories or surgery, one can do the math and determine that those things ignore the causes entirely and may not be the best direction of treatment. When one doesn't know the causes, then all one can do is try the next thing the doctor/PT/etc tell them to do.

[@modifieddavid]

Really it’s quite simple if you take into account the causes he says. For example he brings into account the lats and pectoral muscles. Tight chest? That’s easy do pectoral stretches. He points out tightness towards the neck, so stretch the traps. Going back to the lats think about tissue quality. Foam rolling etc. Be proactive with the information given.

[@paddy9588]

Are the reasons for inflammation the same as for shoulder impingement? Every arm movement creates a clicking noise in my joint and I’m pretty sure the pain in the middle of my deltoid comes from that

[@TendonitisExpert]

Basically yes. Tightness causes compression. Tightness and compression cause inflammation. All of the above eats up nutrition.

[@ayoubtalib4782]

Thank you.

[@michellesmith7747]

Thank you for this. I was just diagnosed with shoulder tendinitis but the only recommendation he gave was a cortisone shot. However, he also said that I am very loose jointed. Me shoulders pop (slightly) out of joint. Unfortunately, when they pop back into place I have excruciating pain, like a nerve was pinched. So, could this still be tendinitis with such loose joints? Also, my pain is not in one area. Always changes depending on what I'm doing. Thanks for any clarification.

[@TendonitisExpert]

If you have legitimately loose joints, that means that the ligaments have stretched or you are hypermobile(...which means your ligaments are naturally a little long and don't hold joints as snug/secure as one might want them to). That's a one way trip, no reversing it, short of strengthening the muscles around the joint so they can do a better job of holding the joint as securely as they can. If you dislocate easily, that's not tendonitis per se, but you will have all three factors of the dynamic: too tight muscle and connective tissue, inflammation process, and nutritional lack. " Always changes depending on what I'm doing. " Say more about that.

[@davetyndall]

I feel like you could have been a bit clearer from the start that this video is actually a sales pitch, not a video that is going to help people fix their problem. It presents no solutions. It just categorises possible solutions.

[@TendonitisExpert]

No, it tells you what any 'solution' has to effectively address if it's going to be an effective solution. So what if you watch a video and it tells you to rest and stretch. Yay a solution! But it won't work. And you just wasted time resting and stretching because you overlooked the info in this video.

Outstanding video! Right now i have pain which most likely is in the biceps long head tendon. It is not on the shoulder, but its below it, I would say its from the middle of the biceps up to where the ball bone of the shoulder starts. Any recommendations? Maybe i need more strenght on some small muscles in the area?

[@TendonitisExpert]

Thanks! Definitely do some strengthening if you like. If it works, great (it sometimes does....but 'weakness' has to actually be the problem). In my experience, mostly/usually the problem is 'tightness', which inhibits a muscles ability to work properly/adequately...and making a poorly functioning muscle work harder isn't a great strategy. Or at least, sure probably some muscles need to become stronger, but definitely too tight muscles need to be restored to full function.

[@nonsensemancer]

I have the exact same issue and am currently looking for a solution. Do you weight lift? I think I got mine from going to heavy without proper recovery. I can't bench press anymore without the area you described flaring up.

Tendonitis dynamic strongly in place in the shoulder/upper arm. Bursitis is a symptom of a tendonitis dynamic.

[@thomasLG2]

General practitioners won't tell you much because GP are "generalists" and its not their job to be a specialist in musclo-skeletal issues. They're more like infectious disease specialists and gatekeepers of emergencies . PT is good but PT is what it is : Kinesiotherapy ( ie : treating by movement ) their job is to re-educate you, they aren't taught about nutrition. Really the best thing you can do is seeing an osteopath : those guys are specialists of the articulations and muscles equilibrium, if something is causing it they will manually fix it and give you advises on nutrition / massage you can do. Generally speaking if you can seeing first and osteopath and then a physical therapist to re-educate your shoulder is the best. PS : you could *technically* see a rheumatologist but since they aren't manual therapists as well they just might give you the usual xray/ultrasound/mri then painkiller bullshit.

[@162534283746]

You should probably remove the word "fixing" from the video title, since the entire video was dedicated to complaining about doctors' shortcomings with regards to treatment, rather than how to fix or treat shoulder issues as the title implies. There's no fix, help, or treat advice anywhere on this, just a critique of those who don't fix, help, or treat. The words that come to my mind are "irony" and "clickbait".

1. "You should probably remove the word "fixing" from the video title, since the entire video was dedicated to complaining about doctors' shortcomings with regards to treatment, rather than how to fix or treat shoulder issues as the title implies. ....just a critique of those who don't fix, help, or treat." Wow. You rely heavily on massive exaggeration. Or you're just lying to be dramatic. I can't really tell. 2. The title is 'what's the secret to fixing shoulder tendonitis'. It is not titled 'how to fix shoulder tendonitis'. Thus, it doesn't describe how to fix, it describes what needs to be effectively addressed that the usual methods ignore (yes, the methods doctor employ partially and completely ignore the factors that cause tendonitis). Oops, I just spend my ENTIRE reply complaining about doctors' shortcomings.

[@162534283746]

@@TendonitisExpert Maybe you should read comments from others, also using the word clickbait, before being defensive. I'm not the only one who watched this video and had that thought. Changing the title to something more appropriate would spare you the trouble of talking to liars - er, exaggeraters - like me in the future, but I guess you'd rather have the clicks. You identify 3 things (tightness, inflammation, and nutritional deficiencies) but don't offer any solutions to any of those problems, let alone all 3 (isn't the word "fixing" somewhere in the title?). For example, you mention that pain can be exacerbated by the lats and pecs being larger than the delts, but mention no solutions (Should I have them surgically reduced? Get a bodybuilding coach and develop canonball deltoids?). You repeatedly mention nutritional deficiencies, but identify none of them ... I understand that you want to make a profit, but this video is nothing but an 8 minute advertisement. If you get defensive when people call it what it is, perhaps you should try being a little more honest about it from the very beginning. If you're going to call me a liar, perhaps you should stand in front of a mirror first. This video is nothing but an infomercial.

I read all comments. Fun fact: f I changed the title to something more 'appropriate' some people would still complain about something. People like to complain. So what if it's an 8 minute advertisement. It fulfills on the title, and tells you the secret to fixing shoulder tendonitis, which is that you have to effectively address the three factors (that common treatment methods partially or completely ignore, which is why people that tried all those prescriptions from their doctors etc are here on youtube watching these videos).

I am very interested in your approach to curing tendonitis. I personally am a bodybuilder who is dealing with bicep tendonitis that I would describe to be on the advanced side. I stopped all working out for approx. 6 months to come back to pain persisting with in the second workout. Curious what your outlook is on my personal situation...

[@TendonitisExpert]

Yep...rest doesn't work. At all. See: www.TendonitisExpert.com/rest.html As a general rule, my outlook is 'it's 100% reversible'. Minimally 90% reversible. If you actually have a rip or tear that changes the conversation some, but if you don't, then you have pain with no damage, and that's reversible. Takes some time and effort of course..but basically your body isn't working correctly (and now is stuck in 'can't work correctly' mode). It's just a matter of getting it working correctly again.

Can i ask you something bro you seem to know many things everytime im doing any kind of pushing movements at the gym my shoulders make many popping sounds but i dont feel any pain is this bad?

[@Thearnoldxu]

No, it’s normal. Everyone’s shoulder joints are not perfectly fitted. It’s just some movement

[@AnkurVashishtha01]

The shoulders are the most unstable joint as they have the most range of motion (ROM). If it makes sound, it means, it is not stable and will wear and tear more quickly if you play any sport which requires a lot of overhead motion. Better start shoulder stabilization exercises.

[@TendonitisExpert]

Hmm, my response disppeared, sorry. I don't know if it's bad or not. It just all depends on your scenario. How much popping? How long has this been going on? Same? Worse? Are you a hyper mobile, very mobile, normal mobile, not very mobile person? I'd need more info to have any kind of opinion. Having said that, popping in general isn't great and it's certainly not ideal, but it's not necessarily problematic. Again, it just all depends on your specific scenario, how active you are/want to be, etc.

Is heat or cold best for this ? I have to pick my arm up off the bed in the morning with other hand .

[@TendonitisExpert]

Cold. (flushes fluid out, then you take the cold off, and the body pushes more fluid in to 'warm' it up). Heavy ice pack (as big and heavy as possible). 2 minutes on, minimally 2-5 minutes off. repeat. Repeat as many times as you're motivated to do. The more the better. Move it around. (Heat is maybe good first thing in the morning just to help 'warm' it up and get things going, but finish on cold, always.) For instance, wake up, hit the shower, do hot cold hot cold hot cold hot cold always finish on cold. Do you have an actual rip/tear injury? (You can have even disabling pain without any rip/tear).

Stretching is only 'the secret' when stretching will fix the problem. If stretching worked for everybody all the time, everybody would just stretch and ta da I'd be out of business. That's great your symptoms are down/gone. If you stop stretching, I'm curious how long the symptoms stay away. It's not a good/bad thing, it's just a measure of how well your body is working/functioning.

I felt all the pressure go into my shoulder. Immediately pain followed after that and now it hurts whenever I move. My arm gets cold or tingles at times

[@TendonitisExpert]

Probably muscles are stuck in contraction (not relaxing while you sleep, etc,) and thus compressing the nerve. Pec major/minor, scalenes, anything else right in there but those are the big ones. Possibly you have a small shoulder dislocation or equivalent....not likely but certainly possible.

I also have a popping shoulder and this popping increases specifically the next day after my chest and sometimes shoulder workout, it also pains during certain movements. Can you suggest something specific for this. I am visiting a physio regularly for the shoulder strengthning sessions but I would love to hear your suggestions.

[@TendonitisExpert]

Is the popping new or has your shoulder always popped? What specifically are you doing in PT?

[@RahulSingh-mb3no]

@@TendonitisExpert it always used to pop during certain movements.... And the popping increases after a chest workout (sometimes shoulder workout too). Also sometimes, along with the popping there is a pain and I feet that the movement is not very smooth...... Also my phisio sessions include some very light dumbbell raises(side, front and diagonal), raises while laying down, light shrugs, some resistance band stretches and some against-the-wall presses.

[@TendonitisExpert]

Possibly you naturally have some degree of loose ligaments so the shoulder isn't being held in socket optimally/correctly. How flexible are you? Are you hypermobile at all? More likely though, the muscle and connective tissue around the shoulder is too tight (and all that comes with that) so the tendons and/or joint can't smoothly move through their regular groove/range of motion and have to 'pop' over something to get where you want to go. I forgot to ask, is it a joint popping or a tendon popping/making the popping sensation?

[@RahulSingh-mb3no]

@@TendonitisExpert I think it's the joint which is popping.... Though I don't know exactly the difference between a joint popping and a tendon popping. I think it's a joint popping. Also I do not feel a issue with the flexibility but while doing some of the stretchings I feel pain in my affected shoulder but thats not a very severe pain. And I am not hypermobile. Also over the years I have witnessed that my left arm (as my left shoulder is affected) is relatively very weak as compared to my right arm. Specially during bench presses if I go beyond 70-80 pounds, my shoulder hurts really bad when the barbell in down near my chest.

[@TendonitisExpert]

As a general statement then, one or more structure is too tight (and thus not able to produce as much work/strength as it should), and then other things have to compensate, and they get too tight. Then it hurts to bench etc, and then the muscles are compressing the joint so it has to 'pop' to get through a restricted range of motion. That sounds worse than it is, maybe, but ultimately when you sucessfully loosen structures (which lengthens them and stops the compressing etc) the pain and popping will go away.
