Found this video (and others in the playlist) after some failed PT for what was initially deemed tendonitis. I'm awaiting an MRI to confirm, but my PCP is now thinking it's a torn labrum. It all started when I foolishly spent an entire hour of my son's tennis team practice session working on my serve. Thank you for the great content you provide for us!

Just found your videos and they are well done. I injured my shoulder playing high school football, arm tackle and then another player was behind my should creating a fulcrum- remember it like it was yesterday. Don't recall what I did to get it better but wasn't really an issue for a long time except for range of motion- example, it was difficult to lay on my stomach with my hands under my head- caused pain in the left shoulder joint. Well as I've gotten older, almost 54, for about maybe the last 5-10 years, I would get sharp pain in weakness when doing something while the should is in a certain position- like pushing on a door, opening car door, lifting something. Ironically, I have been going to a trainer and exercising more the past 16 years. A couple years ago my wife and I started taking the BiFlex for joints and it seems to help. But my shoulder will be fine and then I'll do something to tweak it and then it's touchy for a few weeks or so. The pain and weakness are only momentary until my should drops- no pain otherwise at any time. The other week I reached out to pick up a glass of water and the weight of my arm was too much, my arm dropped, and I had to use my other arm. Any thoughts- sounds from what I have seen on YouTube- it may be a rear or top labrum tear. But again, I've been living with it- and like the old joke about the guy who went to the doctor for pain when he moved his arm a certain way- the doctor said "don't move your arm that way" lol, and that's what I've been doing. Sorry so long- thank you!

Hello Doc! Thanks for your videos! Really helpful and informative. Please comment on the use of Red Light Therapy? Is it effective in stopping the progression of OA? If yes, any tips about using it. God bless you, Doc 🙏🏻

I have a posterior labral tear, chondromalacia and tendonitis. I feel like when I move my arm, something is going to catch in the side deltoid when I move my arm in certain areas. When it does, i feel like if it gets catches in that area, then i won’t be able to move it again

Ijury happened 5 months ago now i dont feel any pain during my daily activities except when i do some odd movements of shoulder that time only i feel pain and that is very less.

Doc this question is for my knee, I lived in AZ for 14 years and had No steps. I now live where I have steps in Northern Ireland. My knees don't want to do the steps. How do I build up my knee leganmqents or what ever I need to be able to go up steps again. I do have arthritis in the knees but not to bad.

Im more confused then ever watching this. Is he suggesting having surgery or not ?
