Hello,
I need help to find exercise for my injured shoulder since doctor told me don't climb anymore.
Actually I injured my shoulder 3 years ago while repeating one dynamic move.
My last week MRI says
Subacromial-subdeltoid and coracoid Bursa minimal effusion .

I am wondering is that the bursitis? And anybody have advice for it.

Thanks

I have bursitis in the same spot. Though, I don't know if its as bad as yours. Definitely listen to your doctor or get another professional opinion.

Ive been told to lay off until the immediate cause for inflammation backs off, and then balance massage with strengthening the muscles around it.

I have basically focused heavily on form while climbing and using my muscles more efficiently.

It still makes noise, but it's much stronger and less bothersome in general.

Look up YTWL exercises.

Stick with resistance bands for bicep and tricep exercises. You can do them at your desk, etc. Also make sure you are stretching post exercise and some gentle massage helps keep fluid moving in and out of the affected area - be careful to much massage will inflame again. just some gentle circles.

good luck

I'm not a medical professional, but the comments, "Subacromial-subdeltoid and coracoid Bursa minimal effusion," don't sound too alarming.

Were you told you have bursitis? A physical therapist would be your best bet for suggesting exercises.

Thank you for all advices. Btw my shoulder is not bad. I can climb.
@FrankPS thank you., yes you are right. I am not bursitis, actually doctor didn't tell anything, only that don't climb. that's why I am wondering. Maybe someone tell me meaning of MRI result then I can make exercise for it.
Thank you again for quick replies.

I think you need to find another doctor.
