so i think the reason i really cant strengthen is bc this area is chronically inflamed somewhere. not the front so much but all around the shoulders. however if i use those godawful arm machines any real strengthening it spreads to my entire ribcage.

has anyone with shoulder probs experienced this? should i just ask for a cortisone shot, then strengthen until shot wears off and hope its not still there?

i have no muscle in my back. grr.

or another name for this is snapping scapula syndrome? either way im scared to move my shoulders. theyre very noisy

im wondering if thisll show up in an mri, probably not
