my shoulder hurts

[ThepoolGuy]

This really sucks! Any press exercise I do wreaks havoc on my right shoulder. Bench press, Incline press, Decline press, and Military press all make my shoulder feel like its on fire. It feels like a sharp pinch in the muscle when I press up. I can kind of do bench if I bring my grip in but it still bothers me. Any free weights like incline dumbbells ( which is my favorite lift of all time) is now out of the question. Are there any supplements I can take to help alleviate the pain? Any exercises I can do to maybe strengthen my shoulder so it wont hurt anymore?

is it the muscle itself or a joint or rotator cuff? where does it hurt? if it's a joint, use MSM gluccosamine and chond.

I believe its the muscle itself thats what it feels like. Its like a pinch on my outer delt not sure whats anterior or posterior. What is MSM and chond? Can you buy that stuff at the drug store?

Where Can you get this stuff? Is it OTC

 

[ThepoolGuy]

ice it, but you should go see doctor to make sure you do not have something seriously wrong with your shoulder. could be tendonitis or bursitis, but please see physician and find out for sure

feel better
