An Actual Shoulder Diagnosis
Rip,
I know you occasionally get people post in here about medical issues and you get frustrated because the diagnosis is garbled or third hand.
Attached is the actual diagnosis of my shoulder issue from a recent MRI.
I'm guessing your recommendation would be no benching, and just presses and chins? FWIW I can press OK up to 50kg, but anything above that starts to hurt. Also, push-pressing where my should "dips" into my socket before pressing up is painful as well.
Thanks for your help.

Yeah, I'd train it, and let the pain be your guide. It will need to be fixed eventually.

It is important that you understand a very important distinction: this is a radiological finding. This is not a diagnosis. A proper diagnosis needs to incorporate a competent subjective and objective exam, with discrete physical exam findings that are then supported by advanced imaging and / or diagnostic testing.Originally Posted by gadders

Fixed as in surgery?

Will, I think he's in the UK. A proper diagnosis may not be available to him.

I was just diagnosed with a 7mm partial tear of the supraspinatus (age 49). Saw the doc, had the MRI. I've decided to train and attempt to rehab through the summer. If it ain't feeling better (manageable) by Christmas, I'm getting the surgery. Surprisingly, my doc is trying to steer me away from surgery. Rip, how long should one train before seeking a surgical solution (especially at an advanced age)? This thing is testing my patience....

By "partial tear" do you mean a partial-thickness tear?
