I take some of the stuff in the "inconclusive" category for MSK issues just in case it might make a difference. Note that sometimes the evidence isn't "strong" simply because it hasn't been studied that much, or because the power of a study was reduced by poor design. That isn't the same thing as "this thing doesn't work at all and never will".

I take

You may note for my request from citations that I was in fact NOT indicating a particular trust in people on MFP. Could be considered quite the opposite, as it goes .
Studies which I can read myself to understand their credibility, more so.
Being NHS, doctors also have to consider cost and may not have my interests in a quicker recovery at a heart over being able to spend time and money that may 'deserve' it more.

As before, my shoulder really isn't THAT bad - it doesn't cause me any problems and is even ok doing indoor bouldering (rock climbing), cavasing and so on. However do want to get to a place I can get back to doing weights without making it worse.
