> Pain is in the mind. There can be pain where there is no physical problem, and there can be no pain where there is a serious problem My left shoulder was mostly unusable after a subaccromial decompression surgery that was meant to make the shoulder less-unusable. Doctors told me to see PT, PT had me do the same waste-of-time banded pull aparts and subscap work. Imaging suggested there wasn't a structural problem and PT never really listened to anything I had to say. So, as do most, I stopped going. Eventually I got tired of being immobilized and I just started doing what I wanted to do. I lifted weights and just clenched my teeth during the periods of extreme pain during various movements. Lo and behold, the issue was mostly related to lots of muscles being very weak from the changes in movement patterns to accommodate the extreme pain. None of the PTs allowed me to do any movements other than rotator cuff band work. Bench pressing for 2 weeks had me largely out of pain. The state of doctors/phsyiotherapists/physical therapy is a joke. At this point I would consult a bullshit crossfit box owner before going to a doctor for movement deficiencies.
