Chatgpt seems to say it's pretty serious.. Chatgt is making me think that the tendon with the biggest tear is only holding on by a thread. Any opinions? I have an appointment with my family doctor this week who ordered the MRI.. Im guessing I will be sent to see a orthopedic surgeon to see what they say..

I'm a bit worried because I'm still lifting heavy.. 100lbs dumbells for incline press/flat press etc.. I don't do anymore shoulder presses.. I'm worried I'm going to tear what's left of that tendon. But on the other hand, I have no idea how long my shoulder has had these tears?? So maybe I'm fine?

I get bouts of nasty shoulder pain.. Sometimes it lasts months or years.. RIght now, I don't have much shoulder pain compared to usual.. But I usually get shit sleep because I wake up with bad shoulder pain or I toss and turn because of the pain. I also wonder what the other shoulder is like inside.. The other one hurts lots, but not as much or often as the one in my MRI.


Part of me wants to try a long heavy dose of BCP to see if the tendons can heal? I am wrong to consider this?

My dislocated bicep tendon causes me fuck tons of pain... I know this one happened about a year ago.. I can rmember the day I was doing biceps and I could feel it clicking and pain.. I've been to chiro and physio many times about it and I kept telling them its the bicep tendon and it feels like someone is strumming it lie a guitar when I use it.. They all said it was likely just irratated and it woudl go away...


Off topic.. I've been going to doctors abotu this shoulder for an honest 8 year.. they all told me the same thing, try resting, try phsio, try ice, try heat etc.. None would refer me until my new family doctor.. Guy didn't batt an eye when I told him my shoulder gives me lots of issues.. before I finished explaining the pain, he had already started typing the MRI referal.

There is a lot going on there such that the whole of the problem may well be greater than the sum of the parts. Me saying anything diagnosisy (lol) more than my bet/guess coming up would be deeeeep into the bro science so I wont.
But just for shits and giggles if I had to bet 10 bucks I would throw it down on "at some point will be told things like 'your just gonna have to take it easy from now on' and 'you know your not a kid anymore' "

Pretty familiar with all the words due mostly to my own adventures, here is a really good site you can learn a lot from, good pics and shit of all kinds of shoulder stuff iirc
And sorry @Sorbate I really should have thought to send you this link a while back too (or did I? FML)
