My guess, based on what you said, is long head of the biceps. Do you have poor posture, or any muscle imbalances (anterior/posterior), or any prior injury history? What you can do right now is self massage your other shoulder with your other hand. Also, loosen up the biceps on the arm in the bent arm position (relaxed biceps). So lie down and relax your arm in the bent position and use your other hand to work on the biceps, and shoulder...

no diagnosis, but just a note on pain: 1) never move into pain - 2) if there's pain - and this has sort of been suggested: a) reduce the range of motion (made it smaller) b) reduce the load. If combinations of load/ROM reductions don't help, then consider an alternative movement and get your movement assessed formally to see what might be happening. best mc

The chronic back pain has gone away. But the tightness in my hamstrings sometimes returns if I pick something of the ground with a round back and slightly strain my back. I usually notice my hams have tightened after something like this. This tightness actually compounds the problem as its easier to strain my back with tight hams. The things that have helped me a lot are pilates and any exercise which strengthens the hams. But still its very...

Based on my exp unless you strengthen and shoulder area it will happen as soon as you start lifting. Try this a) Practice setting up...

I did lunges this last week and my legs were absolutely killing me. So maybe...

Amen brother, thanks for the help this far. I guess the last thing I could ask would be, what exactly should I tell my doc? Or basically discuss what we've talked about on here and he pretty much will know how to proceed. I am assuming that on this upcoming checkup I will be asking to get referred to a shoulder specialist? Thanks again.

wtf, the percocet does NOTHING.

Keloid scars are a pain. Unfortunately, surgically removing them just causes an even bigger keloid scar so that's not an option. And doing anything to aggravate them will just cause it to grow. Don't try to break it up with massage. Your only real option is to stick with the steroid injections and hope it shrinks with those I'm afraid.
