Shoulder + Leg Pain - 1/18/2008 12:37:08 PM

Hey all,

I have a messed up history here. 1 yr 10 mths ago I busted something in my right shoulder on bench press. 1yr 5 mths ago I busted my left leg (tibion bone area), unsure how, I just got the pain one day...

Until this day, both are killing me. They only kill me when I put strain on them (ie weight lifting). My leg kills when I do squatting movements so i'm unable to do squats, lunges, etc. My shoulder kills when doing any chest excercise. Kills a bit on some shoulder and a bit when doing heavy tricep pull downs.

I'm currently hitting the gym but I don't do any excercises which I feel pain on both parts and I do light weights (have been since the injuries except for the mths off I took to relax/repair which I lifted nothing or did anything physical)

I've done ultrasound and xray testing for both many times and the results were fine, no problems. I took many months off physical activity and it hasn't healed. I've done excercises to repair rotators, etc, nothing. I've done physio/rehab (one normal, 2 sports physio) over the period of a few mths for both the leg and shoulder and no one has been able to resolve the problems. I've also done accupuncture by two different people.

The last physio I went to advised to visit an Orthopedic Surgeon.

I recently got my MRI done for the shoulder and they dont see anything wrong. All it says is tendiniosis. I visited the surgeon with my results from ultrasound, xrays and mri, and this guy states that surgery is not needed on both the leg and shoulder and that I should stop lifting and nothing can be done.

I told him to do something about it and he referred me to another orthopedic surgeon.

Basically i've been running around for almost 2 yrs, spent a crap load of money and time and nothing is resolved.

I have no where else to go but here, possibly someone has some insight on a similar injury that they experienced and overcame..

Thanks

Do these area's hurt that bad even when you do extremly light wieght? say for bench you just do the bar(45 lb's) Where in the shoulder is the pain? back front middle? does it pop? Does it still retain all of its range of motion without pain?

where exactly is the pain in your tibia bone?

Thanks for the response,

It doesn't hurt when doing extremely light weight. It starts to hurt when doing about 80lbs bench...(before the injury, I was doing about 190lbs). Flies hurt with very light weights (20lbs). I feel the pain mostly on the front of my shoulder. Nothing pops.

Here is pretty much where it hurts:

Its right below the knee cap. I was told its the area where the tissue and bone meet on the leg. When I run my finger on the bone, I feel a little bump and it hurts right above this bump. I was told you cannot do surgery in this area unless they break the bones and put screws in the leg...

There are so many possible reason's for this.

Tendonitis just means there is inflamation, but the cause is what someone should have discerned.
Unfortunately too few actually do that type of diagnois.

Homestly, until someone can identify the structures, and cause of said structures on the problem, it is hard for me to offer any reasonable advice.

There is a chemical reason for this in your body.
That must be found and alleviated.
The calcifications need to subside.

Balance your diet, all fresh, whole foods (organic if possible).
No supplements. Go 6 weeks and see if you can detect any improvement

All the best to you!
