I believe the costal irritation might be caused by the compensatory movements that will have occurred over the last 18 months and that by now you will have to look at the whole body/ alignments/ loading in order to address the problem - not just the shoulder.
Am also wondering about the actual training that you, Jamesy, undergo. Who trains you? Who devised and amended your training programme? What are you training for and why do you want to bulk up?

Hi thanks again

i dieted for about 12wks to get fairly lean and then went about a bulk phase - this is when the injury first occured. 18 months on i've done bits in gym but never been able to go 'full metal'. I devised the plan myself with some help of a bodybuilder friend. Im nowehere near that, im about 20% BF but was hoping to just get some decent size to then cut down before summer

After the pred worked a couple months ago i have been seriously bulking, 6-8 meals a day and a lot of compound lifting. Was going great, adding 2Lbs a week but its still niggling and i need to fix it once and for all. So im now in 2nd week off the gym and will stay off for the reamaining 3 wks of pred.

The whole shoulder seems to aching, mainly just under collar bone. And also feels quite tight as if im not always getting a full lung of air.

Its really getting me down, i cant seem to shift it. Im now throwing literally everything i can at it in the hope somsthing will take the pain, dull aches and occassional shooting pain away
