You're right M9, I did suffer from this. Mine came on suddenly after climbing an overhanging crack route right at my limit when already tired from a week's climbing. I had bursitis and mild tendonitis on my dominant shoulder.

It took me a few months to recover with some setbacks due to climbing on it. I had to be super careful about not overextending my arm which brought it back on, or just generally doing too much with it. I had one cortisone injection which didn't really help. Mainly my recovery consisted of rest, lots of icing, lots of Voltaren and then once the inflammation was reduced lots of stretching. I was also instructed by my physio to do some strength training exercises for my rotator cuff and outwards rotation as I am weak there which could have led to the injury.

About 9 months on now I still get the occasional twinge (which reminds me I need to stretch more and keep up the exercises) but it's not a problem and I've been back to climbing at my limit for a few months.

Good luck.
