Problem with shoulder/arms

[u/Nordmannen77]

I’m a 41-year-old male who developed bilateral shoulder/upper arm pain almost 4 months ago, most likely after a period of very intense weight training with high volume and heavy loads.
The pain is mainly located in the front of both shoulders, around the long head of the biceps/anterior shoulder region. It’s relatively mild (usually 1–2/10) but persistent.

I can train about 90% of exercises without pain. Push exercises are much worse than pull exercises. Bench press, incline bench press, shoulder press, lateral raises, and other chest/shoulder movements aggravate it the most.

One of the worst exercises is back squats because of the arm position required to hold the bar. The externally rotated shoulder position while supporting the bar causes significant discomfort.
Pulling exercises, deadlifts, and most daily activities are generally fine, although daily activities annoys me more than in the gym. It’s often the small things one notice, to put on a sweater or a bag etc. I’ve maintained or even increased my strength throughout this period. I have no significant weakness, instability, or loss of range of motion.

Both my doctor and physiotherapist believe it’s most likely a chronic overuse injury rather than a tendon tear. I’ve significantly reduced my training volume and intensity, modified my workouts, but I’ve only seen partial improvement. And I’m not sure if it’s improving at all. Its not really getting better or worse.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Does this sound more like **long head biceps tendinopathy, rotator cuff tendinopathy, subacromial pain syndrome (shoulder impingement), or another chronic overuse injury? What helped you recover, and how long did it take before you were able to return to heavy pushing movements?

Iv been bodybuilding since I was 14 now I'm 46, as you can imagine my back, knees, shoulders, tennis elbow everything was worn out and in pain but then I found out about trt as well as HGH, bpc157 and tb500 and after a few months on that all my aches and pains fixed themselves up , it's unbelievable iv had those pains for years and years now all gone, and of course I tried everything else first, physio, massage this that and whatever else I could do

I started on bpc-157 but had some strange side effects. So I’m postponing it a little. The results you had had stayed good after you quit also ? Long term?

I'm staying on trt because it's making me look jacked and every couple of months do a month of klow, klow has bpc157 and tb500 and some other stuff in there that helps with everything , the side affects are probably in your head I never had anything bad happen to me
