shoulder pain when pushing
i had an MRI done a couple months ago and it reads They did see a mild bursitis, along with a small supraspinatus tendon injury (focal intrasubstance tear of 25% thickness”) with some inflammation along the bone. This is not a major injury. This is not a major injury. The anti-inflammatory medication medication and PT should help heal this quite well-doubt any need for injection or surgical intervention. I would pass this onto the Physical Therapist you see. Not sure when this injury happened but I remember waking up one morning with my shoulder under my chin and my face head first in the pillow. later on that day or the next, I was doing bench presses and felt pain within my shoulder. This has been going on five months and I have stopped bench pressing, I only stopped doing back exercises since last month and have started taking anti inflammatories last week with some rotator cuff exercises it seems like its helping… I still really don’t know what this injury is and would like to know what I can do to rehabilitate, if you can help me out I would be very thankful

My son injured his shoulder in much the same way, bench pressing. There are several questions I have Thank You! Joe Shusteric

Yes, you should not bring the bar down to your chest as this pushes the humerus into the anterior capsule of the shoulder joint, where 80% of dislocations occur. You should bring the bar down so that the humerus is parallel to the ground, or there is a 90deg angle at the elbow. He should not train in that movement for a while and allow his connective tissue to mend.
