Hoping for some insight on Trace tenosynovitis involving the fourth flexor tendons. Injury happened late April … tried brace for 9 weeks followed by physical therapy which honestly just made it worse. Just got a cortisone shot this past Monday … nearing 1 week of that and still having pain at a 2-3/10 scale. Need advice doctor says nothing more can be done but the shot and therapy …. Please comment if you’ve had this and what I can expect moving forward thank you.

More of just a programming question with progression. I typically do full body 3x per work. Warm up, some skill work on hand stands as well as handstand pushups, and then 2 push (vertical and horizontal) 2 pull, and 2 legs. My question is will the isometric holds and training for that replace the current working sets I do or will I add them to the routine as a 3rd push and 3rd pull exercise.

Thank you in advance!

Hi everyone,
I’m a 48-year-old cyclist. About a week ago, the day after a strength workout (plank shoulder taps, overhead press and bent-over rows), I developed pain on the upper inner border of my right shoulder blade.
Since then:
Pain radiates into my right triceps and sometimes my forearm.
Banded field goals relieve it temporarily, but it returns within 5–15 minutes of standing.
Supporting my right elbow or lying on my right side reduces the pain.
Massage helps temporarily.
I had multiple cervical disc bulges on an MRI in 2020 but haven’t had new imaging yet.
I don’t have obvious arm weakness or numbness.
Has anyone experienced something similar? Was it ultimately diagnosed as a rhomboid/levator scapulae issue, scapular dyskinesis, or cervical radiculopathy? What helped the most?

I’ve had an injury plaguing my forearms for a while now, where even after a good warmup and stretch, i will feel a shooting pain in between my radius and ulnar, not when i am gripping something, but rather whenever I release my arms from the grip. I don’t have any pain in my elbows or wrists, and it stays localized to the inside and the side opposite the palm of the forearm.
