I’ve been dealing with tendinitis in my shoulder; Doctor says it’s my bicep tendon. Anyone know some good exercises for it?

Hello Kyle,

I hope you are able to see your doctor for a definite diagnosis and a referral to a good physical therapist. Best of luck to you.

I agree with Stephen. Check back with your physician on any recommended course of action (i.e. exercises) and request a referral to a physical therapist.

I have had that before as well. Working hard on shoulder flexibility and changing my program helped a lot.

Hi Kyle,

me one more time. I had two shoulder surgeries for impingement syndrome, and what you are describing in terms of exercises that are hurting sounds exactly like what I went through. It was a weakness (not a tear) of my rotator cuffs, and if I had known then what I know now, I may have prevented the surgeries by going to physical therapy and taking their advice VERY SERIOUSLY.

Please go back to the doctor ASAP. Let him decide whether or not an MRI is in order, and as he already suggested physical therapy, please go. Once shoulders are where yours seem to be they do not get better by themselves. Ice and laying off are good steps in the right direction, though.

Thanks for your responses. My doctor suggested it but didn’t require it. So i’ve just been laying off or it and icing it. But Susan i’m thinking my situation might be kinda like yours because my shoulder feels fine while doing bicep curls and i have full range of movement in my shoulder so i don’t suspect rotator cuff. but anything involving my pectoralis such as bench press, cable fly’s, Incline chest press or even lateral raise gives me some discomfort and dull pain with soreness the next day or even that night even at low weight barring exercise. So i’m just now discovering this as i’ve been laying off the weights. So i’m thinking an MRI is the way to go.

thanks all,
