Is this serious shoulder injury?

[Elusus]

Last week, the night of the day after I did my chest workout, and a few hours after Brazilian jiu-jitsu.. when I was trying to sleep, I realized I couldn't sleep on my side where my shoulder was hurting me, it was really painful..

When I benched the day before I didn't feel any pain, and made sure I kept my elbows tucted in.. didn't feel any pain after BJJ, just got me that night..

I can raise my arm easily as if doing a lateral or front raise, it hurts when I bring my arm across and hold it to my chest or when I try to sleep on that side.. I've gone to BJJ twice since then and it hasn't been a problem while rolling but its still there..

My press day is in two days, anyone have any idea what type of injury this could be?

I've had the same thing happen. It could just be your size. Once you start putting on some mass you have a lot of weight pressing against the joint when you sleep.

Be safe... go to a doctor and get it checked out.

I had similar symtoms when I strained my bicep tendon. I would see a doc if it does not go away in a couple of days.
