I get results back from MRI/Artrho later this week. Fingers crossed i'm lifting good again soon. Figures, right when I felt a good surge of gains coming. ahh, just motivates me even more now! ^^ thanks man! yeah, i’m super determined not to mess that up again. no more heavy incline db’s at the end of a workout, heh.

It doesn't sound so bad though, not like a tear or anything. So hopefully this is a good thing and you will come back stronger after some rest, and more importantly smarter having to learn how to take care of your shoulder better. Good luck man!

I had surgery on my shoulder in January--there was a bone spur on the underside of my acromion digging into my supraspinatus tendon. Luckily there was no tendon damage, per se, minus some swelling, but it did burst the bursa sac. The had to detach my right deltoid to get in there to grind down the spur and clean up all of the bursa fluid on the tendon. The muscle healed up fairly quickly (I was back in the gym, against doc's orders, within 5 weeks), but I'm still having some issues with tight tendons and some pain, especially when doing flat barbell bench. It used to hurt doing upright rows and incline bench...uprights still hurt, but the incline is feeling fine. Go figure. Anyhoo, just rest it for a couple of weeks, takes some Motrin to keep any swelling down (and keep it in your system), and see what happens. If the pain keeps nagging at you, I'd head in to see a doc...but man, MRI bills are not cheap...or surgery bills. Do anything you can to avoid surgery.

I think I've got some extra glutamine at home and will try adding some dosage. Thanks for the advice. I think I’ve got some extra glutamine at home and will try adding some dosage.
