Shoulders hurting for 1yr, can't do pullup/pushup; doc said possible slap tear; doing rotation exercises 6mo; relieves pain, but hasn't healed?

Possible SLAP tear: if you are an avid weight lifter, you may have AC arthritis or distal clavicle osteolysis. SLAP tears in your age group usually are the result of trauma, whereas AC joint pain can be from repetitive weight lifting. If you want me to take a look, schedule a consult and I can provide some direction.
