What is Causing Your Shoulder Pain? Tests You Can Do Yourself, Plus Self Treatment (Updated)

Hmm, the tests only work for impingement, not for other issues with the shoulder.

why does mine hurt like crazy, then other times no pain. wierd?

You guys are the best. You helped me so much after a car accident and with all of your stuff. So positive and super helpful. THANK YOU. Bob - I hope you are doing great

I can't even lift my arm to try the impingement tests.

Yep, i have an impingement, big time! Thank you.

Best video so far on the topic. Thanks Bob and Brad.

Excellent video

none of them hurts, but my front shoulder hurts when i pull up my pants

Can I do strength training if I got shoulder impringment

Thank you guys.

So. Apparently i have a neck problem.

Bicep pain

Shoulder injury has taken my life and identity. Lost 60 lb of muscle and no means to get diagnosed or corrected... and none of these seem to match it. No weakness points but all of them kind of hurt an equally small amount but can't do anything more than daily activities which are generally not an issue... until a bad time period kicks in. LOTS of loud popping but don't think it's dislocation

I remember bob from the little rascals.

How annoying are these pair

Left side of neck shoulder and bicep. Driving me nuts.!!!!!

I love these guys !!!’

Damn all three are positive

Pretty sure I have an impingement. Y’all fixed my Achilles tendonitis so I’m counting on y’all to fix my shoulder. Y’all are amazing!

Gentlemen, Thank you! 🙌

Defo the best of the net, first you guys helped with my bicept pain, the pain is gone now thanks to your therapy now im 85% sure i have a impediment, 15% think it could be a collar bone thing..

the meta homophobic jokes , really helps me trust the practitioner 😢

Thanks so much. This finally helped me solve my problem. For 2 months I was suffering and the medication and physiotherapy wasn't helping either. Wish i saw this earlier.

Good stuff,.. Had trouble periodically with my shoulder for years cause of football, boxing, mma, etc... This was good, plus,... You guys are just funny and a blast to listen to, thanks!

Great video. I always thought it was my rotator cuff but looks like its just an impingement.

Why didnt u cover labrum tear

I cant tell. Is it a sharp pain??? My shoulders been sore for 2 days so its hard to identify any other pains besides the constant one

Bob and Brad, as always, I always refer to your videos first. My right shoulder popped out a few weeks ago and has been hurting since. About 10 years ago, I had an injury to the shoulder, and all the sports medicine surgeon could do was clean the shoulder out.
The shoulder has been weak and hurting, and I failed the impingement tests. I will try the exercises you showed. Thank you!

Thank you for the video! I definitely have the impingement problem. It has bothered me for quite awhile, now I finally know what it is!

👌👌👌

I had a shoulder reversal surgery on my right shoulder since I could not raise either arm. Now after 4 months I still cannot raise either arm. I have been in therapy since surgery, but I cannot raise my right arm higher than vertical. Laying flat I can raise it over my head. Doctor tells me it takes 9 to 12 months. I seem to be stuck at that level for the last month. Any suggestions? I am very discouraged by now.

I pass these tests, but I can barely put my hand to my ear when my elbow is in front. No problem doing it with my elbow out to the side. I don't know what this is.

Impingement, no doubt. Man this sucks!

the tests in this vid did not give me pain but l have in shoulder pain....so seems not a complete pain test in this vid , like it came strong when sitting down on sofa and putting hand down first and put weight on it. biking gives pain .

Hi had a fall trying to feed a horse over a fence I fell backwards but on my left arm Which was straight along body line I feel also my right arm is having tingling feels and feels pressure when chainring gears In my car I do not know which is the best exercise for this situation. Thank you ma

Big thank you for Bob and Brad, i've tried it and it works for me :) , subscribed ;)

I wrenched my right shoulder as I fell on my left arm, fracturing the left radial head. My right shoulder hurts more despite having more movement than the left. I have doused my shoulder in Olbas oil, night & day & taken naproxen 3 times a day but the pain is worse. Googled various sites that show examination to diagnose problem but none have described how I get the most pain. If my right arm is bent at the elbow & held close to my body if I move it outwards like a birds wing I get pain across the top of my arm. It’s also painful when laying down & also “catches” sometimes causing pain. I’m at my wits end. Any ideas?

Can a brain tumor on the head of the neck cause shoulder and arm pain ?

You guys are truly legit! I tried your exercises for impingement from a diff video and it helped me tremendously!!! Educative w/humor ❣️

You guys are very interesting! Where are the others 😂, everyone I’ve met from physio, sports physio, gp dont have a fraction of your knowledge. For example, not knowing how to use a TENS or when to use it

Ok, back scratcher worked for my painful arc!

Thanks!

My left shoulder hurt so bad for 2 weeks couldn’t sleep and I stumbled on your videos and tried the stretches oh boy it started to feel better within days thanks and keep it up

Just reaching over to may left shoulder causing already pain on my right shoulder, is this impingement? I think I got it when doing pull ups.

Bob aur Brad ve both most famous... physiotherapist internet par 😃

Great stretch’s

All tests were negative but my shoulder is so sore 🤔 feels like i was training really hard for lot of hours. When i try to do some shoulder trainings even with very light weight or bench press pain is very intense. What else it might be? P.s i was training in gym+swimming 1 hour for past 3 months 3 times per week

What if when you do the straight arm test and you have painful snapping on the way down?
