Shoulder pain, tendinitis or something else?!

Shoulder pain, tendinitis or something else?

For 5 months now i haven't been able to train using bench press and shoulder press at the gym.

After seeing different doctors one told me to see an orthopedic surgeon - who said i had tendinitis and administered a cortisone injection.

For the last few days i have felt better, however i still cannot do certain movements such as mentioned above.

Orthopedic surgeon did not give me any info about rest or physiotherapy. He just said "come back in a months time.

Question: What should i do - and has anyone experienced the exact same problems? Intense pain for benching and pressing.

Thanks

Oh my god, I have the same problem. Its been going on for about 4 months and we haven't tried the cortisone treatments yet but getting close. Right now I'm on a med pack of prednizone and that seems to be working to get the inflammation down in the shoulder so I can get a better range of movement but who knows if it will come back. Physical therapy might be in the future for you, my doctor wants to try it before we go the cortisone route. Good Luck
