Helloo,
đCT scan is not the right test for this type of pain; it mainly shows bones, not tendons or muscles.
CT findings (biceps groove fluid, soft-tissue swelling, osteopenia) suggest inflammation and disuse, not ânothing.â
Most likely causes: Rotator cuff tendinopathy/partial tear Biceps tendon inflammation Shoulder impingement Scapular (shoulder blade) imbalance
Pain improving with heat and running supports a chronic inflammatory/neuromuscular issue, not serious damage.
Do NOT restart gym workouts normally or push through pain.
đGet an MRI of the left shoulder Consult a sports medicine or shoulder orthopedic specialist Start guided physiotherapy (not random exercises)
This condition is treatable, even after 2 years, with the right diagnosis and rehab. Your pain is real, and recovery is still possible.
I trust this helps Thank you
