Georgie,

You are a f**king mess my man. Actually i just hurt my right shoulder a week ago today doing seated presses with dumbell 120's. I felt fine until the next morning and i couldnt put my right arm above my head. It still hurts, but i think its going to heal just fine. When i was younger i had a nagging rotator cuff problem, but it just eventually went away on its own. Best of luck to you. Be sure to post up when you find something that works for your injured shoulder!!

Georgie, you have some serious bad luck bro. Did you have a shoulder injury? I did, and physio helped immensly. Before any upper body workout now, I have to warm up my rotator for 30 mins prior, or it feels like my shoulder is going to dislocate on the spot. Its a sick feeling. I do get pain when going heavy.

Quad, what are these shoulder pains you speak of? Got a link to a picture of one?

I feel your pain. I am getting into sick shape again (let myself go). Now my left bicep is fucked. DR said "take six weeks off from the gym... If it still hurts come back". I am not DR but what I think he said was "Give me $160 bucks for 5 minutes of my time then go fuck yourself"... The outer head doesn't even work any more and he said there is no problem. It even hurts to move my arm typing and shit like that. I get a burning sensation too (first time for that above the waist... LOL).
No way I can take 6 weeks off!

im so fusterated!! i cant do dick w/out being in agony. chest workouts forget it INTENSE PAIN shoulders forget that too, back nope...the sad truth is that i went to one of the best orthropedic surgeons in my state he took x-rays and did some physical tests on my shoulders....he said i was fine and all i needed to do was stretch from now on....wtf!!! on a scale of 1-10 my pain is about 8 on off training days and 12 post training. im not looking to score a script for percs im in real pain. i dont know what the fuck to do now. the pain is a stabbing/burning pain.

i def need a 2nd opinion. but who? what kind of doc?

how are your lifts? besides the pain are you losing strength?

Yep...get an MRI, if THAT comes back negative (I doubt it will) then just take some time away from the gym.

My guess: Impingement syndrome...basically there's a shitload of inflammation in there, compressing everything...nerves, tendons, ligaments, etc...Maybe some bursitis or tendonitis causing it.

The shoulder is a very complex joint, if anything goes wrong in there, it usually effects everything else in the area...sounds like exactly what's going on here. Hit up an MRI and see what you find...take a look at the films, if the head of the humerus is white, that means it came out of the joint at one point, and you may actually need surgery.

An mri is magnetic resonance imaging. An xray motly sees bone, and can hint at collections of fluid (such as blood). Of course, excepting gross trauma this is probably not meaningful. Your doctor, not knowing you from adam, wanted to rule out fracture, tumor etc. A ct scan just takes multiple xrays, so it really also sees bone and blood, but 3d. Not very helpful. MRIs look at soft tissue: ligaments, etc. Your rotator cuff, in simplest terms, is a stabilizing cuff of muscle and ligament in a circle around your shoulder. If a ligament or muscle attachment is torn, MRI would show that and the damage would have to be repaired under laproscopic surgery (i.e. tie the ligament back to where it belongs etc). However, a gross tear is pretty unlikely if you have no memory of a big. painful rip. More than likely, the MRI will show a little darkening of some constituents of the rotator cuff, inflammation of the RC. The treatment would be rest with no lifting and anti-inlammatories (naprosen, ibuprofen, etc) as mentioned above. So the MRI would probably not be well-covered right now, and you probably would get told to try rest and anti-inflammatories anyway. I'd probably do that first (I've had plenty of RC problems myself over the years, mostly from wrestling not bbing). If no relief, then maybe spring for an MRI, or get one as it would be a little more "medically necessary" at that point.

You did not mention if you are taking anything. Winny in particular can create crippling rotator cuff problems (and knee problems) in susceptible individuals, it has to do with depletion of the synovial fluid (fluid in the joint capsule).

Also, you need to consider seriously looking at your training. I saw your other thread where you are getting advice for a comp BB; this is good. Most shoulder problems I see in BBers is caused by improper benching, flaring the elbows out as you lower the weight eccentrically, which opens the rotator cuff at the same time as it is subjected to maximum weight and stretch -- a recipe for disaster. Pressing behind the neck is another cause, but a lot of people know this now, so you don't see this so much. I strongly suspect your training could be more rotator cuff friendly. Dips are a big problem in some individuals, but even with my shoulder problems I do weighted dips fine. I would say look at your benching first, this is often the culprit. Interestingly, fixing your form at first lowers your weight, then you sail up. A lot of shoulder-flarers have this wall at 275lbs they can't pass . . . Be careful with dumbbell presses too, and remember where the barbell would stop, stretch a little past that (that's why people do dbs after all . . .) but not too far. You might try joint supps etc, as some swear by them (even fellow orthopods).

I am not an orthopod, so I can't swear by this. But this is my 2c. Maybe an orthopod or chiro might chip in.

Hey Bro, I had the same problem and I am attacking it on two fronts before I spend to much on expensive Docs. This is such a common problem among lifters that there has been extensive writing on this topic. My armchair advise is to immediately buy this book:

1)The 7-minute Rotator Cuff Solution (for shoulder pain and rehab) cost on amazon is $165 but at www.healthforlife.com its only $19.99. (No, I'm not affiliated with any companies or Drs. listed)

2) Find an ART (Alternate Release Technique) specialist (founder was Dr. Leahy) in your area and start treatment. For the first 5 weeks go twice a week (this is a must).

Read the post below:

This will help you. Your problem is probably fixable but it will take some rehab. Good luck
