Shoulder

About 8 years ago I was doing dumbell shoulder presses and something in my left shoulder gave and I basically ended up dropping a 55lb dumbell on my head. Surprisingly that didn't hurt too bad. It felt sort of like it dislocated but only momentarily.

Fast forward, now it hurts. It's not noticable in typical situations but It's more noticable now when I do shoulder and chest excercises. I also feel it when I raise my arm straight over my head. It's pretty much just annoying at this point and I can't do some of the excercises I used to do.

 

the shoulder or the head?

 

head didn't hurt, shoulder hurt

 

rotator cuff maybe. go see dr. duffy. he is a good rehab guy.

 

Where exactly does it hurt in your shoulder…side or front?

Pain when raising your arm over your head is a classic sign of a rotator cuff problem. My guess is you’ve got an inflamed tendon.

 

I'd say side. Though it's tought to pinpoint

 

If you had a doctor and actually saw one, they might order an MRI or therapy or give you some anti-inflamms for that.

 

I'm slow but I will get there

 

You will have more pain on a consistent basis as you get older. Learn to like it and save yourself the copayment.

 

im dealing with some tendonitis in my left arm right now. my bench was up to 300 too. im still working pretty hard just avoiding the super heavy stuff but you're right, its always something. somebeach
