Where do you feel the pain most?(front, top, side, back) RC is made up of 4 muscles so depending on which one is injured determines stretches/exercises.


I would say the front, towards the top. Not the best picture but if you took this dudes thumb placement, that's about where it is If I dig into it/press on it it is very sensitive.

I would avoid working out while it is acutely injured,


I'm going to change things up for sure. I thought it was better than it was but since I've been back in the gym, I've increased the weight I'm working out with and the heavier I go I'm realizing it's making it worse and probably hadn't healed at all.

Very much could be tendonitis of long head of bicep which runs in front of shoulder. Would try to keep elbow bent and all weight below shoulder height while acutely injured. Make sure your peri-scapular muscles are strong and your shoulder blade is moving like its supposed to(should be moving symmetrical with contralateral side) Our bicep likes to pick up the slack of weak scapular muscles and ends up getting overworked/aggravated.
