Shoulder update: bicipital tendonitis

After having two MRIs, the first one without contrast and the second one with contrast, it is confirmed that I do not have a SLAP tear in my shoulder. I have a bad case of bicipital tendonitis. This is very good because surgery is required in only 5-10% of cases. I'm taking a conservative approach with it and treating it with PT and NSAIDs. I see Dr. Phil on Monday to start the PT stuff again and we'll go from there. I'm excited that surgery isn't required and I plan on being back in the water in January, hopefully.

Also, running is still going well.
