Can I also ask you: do you have pain or symptoms anywhere else in your body? And is there a physical aspect to what you do for work?

My hypothesis: You injured your shoulder. Then it got inflamed (please note - the inflammation is a secondary problem). Tried treatment, then got a Prednisone dose that was possibly strong enough to anesthetise the area. So the damage was still there but you couldn't feel it. At which stage you re-started your training (I hate to think what you mean with "pretty decent weight training"), which might/ will have caused further straining to the present injury and will have led to compensatory movements and overuse of other areas. Prednisone does not heal the actual injury! Your body told you something was wrong, e.g. pain, but you kept on training through the pain - and it does not appear as if you were guided by a Heath care Professional for your training. And this all went on for 18 months.


I'd say that one week of Prednisone and rest from training will not cut it.

Anyone else got any comments?

hi mate thanks again i really appreciate every reply

so i injured it in feb 2014. I had numerous mri's, xrays etc for about a year and all came back clear. Then i had the bone scan around June this yr which showed inflammation. Once i got that result i went on predisone and miraculasy within 2wks of taking it i was pain free for the first time. Then a 3 weeks later one night it came came back out the blue. My prob now is anti inflammatories arent getting rid and im totaly resting it - surely it would have made some difference by now.

My job is office based so not manual labour. And my gym work is just a hobby at lunch from work - im no bodybuilder or anything like that.

Im totally lost as to what to do as im under 3 specialists - chest, shoulder and rhuemitoid and none can pinpot this constantly aching under the colar bone and sharp pains around chest :-(
