Pleased to here your getting better. 29 would be young to have a cuff tear. Tendintis is more likely. The other diagnosis to consider in a younger person i.e you is a biceps anchor lesion or anterior labral lesion. Diagnosed either with MRI or athroscopy
How bad is tendinitis? If I can live with the pain can I still be active? Or will it turn into something worse? I'm ready to do what it takes to get better. Hopefully Vickie will check in and give me some tips.
Tendinitis varies in its seriousness. It normally gets better with rest. Vickie may be able to advise you on exercises that depress the humeral head relative to the acromion (subscapularis, teres minor, lat dorsi) and also scapular stabilising exercise. These should help.
Vickie is on vacation with limited, dial-up only computer access. She PMed me last night and said it took her seven minutes to download the most recent thread! She'll be back on the 17th.
