problems with my shoulder

[frank fitness IFB]

hey buds, I am 40 years old man and 5 months ago I went back to the gym , I don't train for body building purposes but to stay in shape .
for some reason the last 5 days I have extreme pain on my front part of my left shoulder , but I feel the pain just when I raise my arm and when I put it down pain disappear, any idea what it could be? thank you.

You don't say what you think caused the problem. It sounds like the front or anterior deltoid muscle or you've irritated a rotator cuff. Common exercises to cause the problem are presses inc bench press.

I would have it looked at so you know how to treat it. Shoulder injuries are very common.
