Joe Wicks has revealed that he needs further tests on shoulder cyst.
The famous fitness star took to Instagram on Sunday where he revealed in a video that the medical investigations are needed to ensure it’s nothing ‘naughty.’
Joe, 38, who has already undergone an MRI scan on his problematic left shoulder, explained that he’s been suffering with pain in the area for more than a year.
The fed up influencer told his followers that he has ‘small little tears’ in his rotator cuff muscles, and needs to get further checks done on his ‘clicking’ scapula.
Joe admitted that the ongoing pain he’s been enduring has been ‘getting him down’ and is ‘affecting his mood.’
The Bodycoach expert revealed: ‘Little update on my shoulder injury. It’s been clicking for a year now. It feels weak. It doesn’t feel right.’
Joe then revealed doctors wanted to carry out further tests on his shoulder, explaining: ‘I had an MRI and I’ve got a couple of little tears, small little tears in my rotator cuff muscles.
‘Also at the back on my scapula I’ve got a boney cyst so I’m going to have a couple of tests when I get back to make sure it’s nothing naughty.’
He confessed: ‘It’s getting me down man, just having that pain when you wake up, injury, just like having that pain when you wake up it’s aching, it’s affecting my training, it affects my mood. I love exercise so it’s really limiting.’
Joe said he’s trying not to make it an excuse to do no exercise, feel sorry for himself and eat c**p food, adding: ‘You’ve got to try and work around it.’
According to NHS: ‘Bone cysts are fluid-filled holes that form in bones. They mainly affect children and teenagers.
‘They’re not usually serious, but they sometimes need to be treated with surgery.
‘Bone cysts do not always cause symptoms. Sometimes they’re found after they cause a fracture, or if you have an X-ray for another reason.
‘They often get better on their own, especially in children and teenagers.
‘The main treatments are: draining the fluid with a needle and injecting medicine into the bone to help it heal, or cutting or scraping out the cyst.
‘The exact cause of bone cysts is unknown. They’re not cancer and do not spread to other parts of the body.’
