Try Rolfing first Bro - breaks up scar tissue - if that doesn't work then the knife. I'm not a big fan of it either

I went to the doc about mine.....after ulta sound and MRI he determined I have an impingement. So does anyone know what the best way to overcome this? Is surgery the only option? I can't lift anymore....it really sucks.

I'll look into it Bro but I believe surgery is the only option if you truly have an impingment.

They are full of it. My doc told me I would be playing golf again in six weeks. He just wanted me under the knife. I was not able to set foot in the gym for almost a year. I had enough trouble with it, so I stayed out a little longer to make damn sure that it was ready before I went back. I started with really light stuff, and spent a couple of months going three days a week...2 sets of 15 with every exercise.
It took me forever to rehab. I did all of the pt they asked me to do...but it still took forever. My problem was compounded by an easily dislocated shoulder and some messed up biceps tendons. He just trimmed the frayed tendons, and created scar tissue on the inside of the front of my shoulder. As the scar tissue healed, it tightened up my shoulder joint. This was a huge help to me, but a source of some real pain during rehab.

They say 6 weeks...count on 6 months.
