two years ago, I was diagnosed with a shoulder injury to my right shoulder. An MRI revealed that I had a torn supra-spanatis tendon another tendon that was partially torn, labrum tears and other. Two different surgeons told me that I needed surgery. I decided to wait fir awhile to see if there may be something I could do to improve matters. I discovered a book written by a retired orthopedist surgeon named John Kirsch titled “Shoulder pain, solution and prevention.”. I set about following the process suggested by his book and my shoulder began to improve. I also discovered a great sports medicine doctor named Jeffrey Peng who provided me with a group of exercises designed to improve both strength and range of motion. By following those guidelines, I was able to avoid surgery and my shoulder has regained full function. I’m back to doing my full session of body weight exercises including full pushups. I would strongly recommend these sources. if you are dealing with shoulder pain and injury.
As a retired physician myself, I tried rolfing last year and within a few sessions, mobility was restored and pain gone. My therapist was an older women who had trained with Ida Rolf herself. Sessions are a bit painful and you have to relax your mind and exhale through the pain. More information at https://rolf.org/news_manager.php?page=30927
One thing I know about injuries, the way most people eat prevents healing. They eat foods that don't nourish the joints and ligaments...and most chiropractors don't tell their patients to avoid foods, which prevent adjustments from holding. Processed foods have no nutrients, but they take a lot of effort and energy in being digested. It is difficult for the body to heal, when it is not receiving the nourishment it needs. People should avoid grains,,,read Dangerous Grains by James Braly M.D. and Ron Hoggan M.A. It states 200 diseases are created by eating grains. I wound up with arthritis from them.. Most health problems stem from eating the wrong foods for one's body...and doctors don't study nutrition in medical school. I did 30 years of nutritional consultations and found every person was unique; and needed specific foods depending on the state of the organs and one's genetic background.
I had torn rotator cup going on two years. In fact, it was very hard to get comfortable in any position when I sleep from the pain from numerous injuries. Ultra Spike Protein detox did the trick for me. I can sleep in any position now. I plop in bed like a little kid. Thanks Dr. Mc.
I took a fall ice-skating, not terrible, but yanked my arm trying to hold onto the side. I gave it 2 months to get better. I thought resting, icing would help but it got worse. After getting to the point I was miserable, I went to the Dr. and an ultrasound revealed a partial tear of my supraspinatus, and tendinosis of both the biceps and infraspinatus tendons. They told me I had an encapsulated shoulder.
I was told to try physical therapy first. After going twice a week for 2 weeks, I had the best day I could remember in months. They did gentle massage to the muscles and knots and were very careful not to cause me any pain. At first they had me do very simple resistant exercises as I could hardly move my arm - like slowly pressing my fist into a wall (elbow at 90°), then pressing my forearm outwards into the wall and then inwards. They told me never go beyond 40% pain wise. They adjusted my exercises as things got easier and backed off if I was hurting when I got home.
I'm almost 3 months in to physical therapy and my forward and side range of motion are 90% there. The toughest one is getting my arm behind my back like I used to, but I'm about halfway there. I have nothing but praise for physical therapists. No surgery, no shots, just exercises there and at home. I go to ASIS Physical Therapy in San Diego if that helps anyone.
I wonder about statins’ effect on shoulders? I’ve seen it in 3 older males in my pretty small circle, now. My husband tried statins but soon felt as though a ‘car tire’ around his neck was suppressing both shoulders. He quit them - that resolved. The local pharmacist also said statins suppressed both shoulders - he switched to another type of cholesterol lowering drug - it resolved. And, possibly my BIL, who was taking statins ‘faithfully’, and is currently scheduling shoulder replacement - stopped his statin 5 days ago, and noticed less pain and more motion - this morning. He also recently used a few doses of DMSO cream, so I’m not positive which to credit - or both. 🤷♀️
Do you have any research using BPC-157 once frozen shoulder presents? I’ve used it for tennis elbow and a badly strained delt muscle. Symptoms gone within 3 days.
It wouldn’t hurt to consult a well know shoulder injury expert in Sports Injury.
Dr. Tal S. David in San Diego. He has been a vital help to my husband and has seen him through 3 injuries with no repercussions.
Highly recommended! In addition to his private practice, he is the Head Team Physician for the San Diego Chargers NFL football team and Medical Director for the San Diego Gulls AHL hockey team-so he and sees about everything!
DMSO!

IR guided steroid injection can be very effective if conservative management doesn't work.
