Hey everyone, looking for some advice.

I've been going to the gym for about a year now and recently switched from a PPL program to full body training. I was progressively overloading my barbell curls and went a little too heavy too fast.

My shoulder ended up subluxating three times during my sessions - it would partially slip out and go back in on its own. Visited an orthopedic doctor who recommended an MRI.

The MRI came back with the following findings:

- Suspected SLAP Lesion (small superior labral tear)

- Supraspinatus Tendinosis

- Shoulder Joint Effusion

- Subacromial Bursitis

- AC Joint Capsulitis

- Scapular Bone Contusion

I'm 20 years old and honestly pretty worried. The doctor mentioned physiotherapy as the first step but said surgery might be needed depending on how things progress.

Has anyone been through something similar? Did physiotherapy alone help or did you end up needing surgery? I'm really hoping to avoid surgery if possible.

Any advice or personal experience would mean a lot. Thank you.

It’s been almost a year and a half since I gave CFA Level I, and I recently started preparing for Level II.

I noticed that the LES portal layout has completely changed. Earlier, it was much better because I could see the difficulty level of the questions. If I got a difficult question wrong, I wasn’t too hard on myself.

Now I’ve finished only one module which is Term Structure and Interest Rate Dynamics from Fixed Income, and scored 83% on the practice questions. I know it’s probably naive of me to even ask such a silly question, but I’m wondering if that’s a good score.

I’m mainly confused because I can’t really tell whether I’m getting difficult questions wrong or the easier ones, which was much easier to understand with the previous LES layout.

Would appreciate some guidance. Tysm!
