Hi, could someone shed some light on this? I’m a 22-year-old man. I had shoulder impingement and bursitis in both shoulders and ended up having surgery on both — one 10 months ago and the other 6 months ago.
I do my physiotherapy exercises every day and strengthen the muscles at the gym, but I’m still struggling badly. I get pain from walking, sitting without back support or with my arms hanging down, and even from simply standing still. At this point, I basically can’t work and I’m starting to feel like I’m breaking down.
I recently had another MRI, and it showed that everything looks good apart from some remaining tendinosis.
Has anyone been in a similar situation? Did anything eventually help? And has anyone tried the “Wolverine” BPC-157 + TB-500 course, and did it actually help?
There aren’t many people in my country who I can consult about this, so I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone with a similar experience.

Hi everyone. I’m looking for experiences from people who had a similar shoulder recovery.
I’m a 22-year-old male. I had both shoulders operated on:
Right shoulder arthroscopy on October 8, 2025
Left shoulder arthroscopy on February 4, 2026
The procedures were:
subacromial decompression / acromioplasty
bursectomy
partial distal clavicle resection (AC joint decompression)
Before surgery I had shoulder impingement syndrome, subacromial bursitis, AC joint problems and tendon issues. After surgery I was told that tendinosis was still present.
I am now around 9 months after my first surgery and 5 months after my second one. I still have problems with both shoulders. They often feel hot, irritated and painful, with pressure and aching around the collarbone/AC joint area. Normal activities can trigger symptoms: sitting at a computer, walking a few kilometers, cleaning the house, lifting my arms above 90 degrees, or throwing a frisbee.
Since my first surgery I haven’t worked. Most of my days have been quite inactive (sitting or lying down), except for training. I’m wondering if the lack of daily movement could be slowing my recovery.
I completed shoulder rehabilitation in good clinics with experienced physiotherapists. I also see a biomechanics trainer once a month, and I follow a gym program created by a functional training coach, focused on strength, mobility and shoulder stability.
My MRI still shows tendon changes/tendinosis. Doctors gave different timelines: some said around 3 months for full loading, rehab specialists around 6 months, while another doctor said 12–16 months for full recovery.
Has anyone had a similar experience, especially after having both shoulders operated on? When did you start feeling noticeably better? What helped you the most — more daily movement, strengthening, rehab, returning to work, or something else?
I would really appreciate hearing your experiences.
