Pain in the shoulder

ad

I was working out yesterday afternoon and out of the blue I started feeling a weird pain in my right shoulder. When I’m trying to elevate the arm in front of my eyes it’s really painful and I feel like someone is using needles against it. I lower the weight I was carrying and the pain continues. No lumb and nothing that can be noticed by looking or touching at it.

As the day before I pinned in this shoulder my question is if I got this pain due to a bad movement or excessive weight or if it can be a kind of retarded pip even thought I didn’t feel it the day I pinned. Any idea?

My advice is rest. Have 2 weeks off. I trained through a shoulder issue and it caused me severe shoulder and neck pain for 4 years,

Thank you for the comment. I rested shoulders since I wrote this message and the doctor asked me to take dexketoprofen. I feel much much better so hopefully in a week the issue will be solved.

Thanks for all the answers. Today the pain was much less but still painful. I’ll rest couple of days and will see if everything is better. I use a cream indicated to muscles pain and I hope it works. I think I can positively say it was nothing related to the injection, though.

Get a couple gel packs. Like 4 so you can ice it a lot. What I do is get my shirt wet on the shoulder and put the gel pack on it and it freezes down on my shirt and doesn’t fall off with tiny movements. That helps as much as anything in my considerable experience with bad shoulders. Surgery on both of them. RICE. Anti inflammatories strengthening exercises after a bit with band work. You need to calm the injury down and that is if it isn’t torn

It could still be pip. Everytime I had pip it was always fine right after injection and the day after. The 2nd after injection was when it actually became a pain.

Thanks for the head up. I never experienced such a pain the day after and I was a bit worry. Let’s see in some hours when I’d test the shoulder again.

At the very least you need to rest that shoulder.
If it doesn’t clear up in a couple days go see a Dr.

I may need to see a doctor. Couple months ago i started feeling a tearing pain but only when bench pressing when i lower the bar. Feels in the center of my shoulder joint. Then at night they throb causing loss of sleep. I took 2 weeks off and felt they healed till couple weeks i started back up and it all came back. I can fight through it and still get my workout in but very uncomfortable during and at night trying to sleep. Guess my pride dont want to rest longer than 2 weeks because i feel week and smaller. Debating whether to try a month rest or see doctor first.

Shoulder pain from injury, even if it is not torn can take over 6 months to get better. I’ve had a pop in mine and it hurt like hell. I was sure I tore it again, but my surgeon said that’s just the way shoulders are. They can take a long time to get better. I tweaked mine in mid January and it was bad and took till June before it was close to whatever is 100% for me and that’s with constant treatment. Ice tb 500 bpc 157 runs. Plus HGH the whole time. I think rest from the COVID shutdown helped too.

Try floor presses or dumbbell presses with a neutral grip.
Good be it time to heal. You’ll probably
grow from the different angle...

Its to do with your rotator cuff mate - you may have a tiny tear in it. I had that pain for 8 months nearly, sometimes I could not even get through the warmup session as my right shoulder would not lock out fully to rack the bar back in. I tried everything and in the end found that stopping deadlifts for 2 weeks (which aggravates the front cuffs massively) and taking tonnes of creatine actually fixed it!! No joke - I banged on about this loads at the time. I tried TB500 and BPC157 too but don't think I ran enough, hurt like hell when I injected it too. Rest it now mate and you may avoid needing surgery. Overhead presses, squats, everything.

All the constant pain did go away after the 2weeks rest but its like i never rested it now i started back up. I believe you are right and im going to have to rest it completely. Just hope i dont lose a lot of strength during the down time. At least its winter months. Thank you sir

If it were me I would take an aspirin, do a good medium heavy bench and chest session - nothing that is going to cause more injury then say to yourself you are going to rest it for 2 weeks. No gym. In the meantime take tonnes of BCAA's, creatine, glutamine, whey etc. Also take some good strength based orals such as adrol and dbol in the meantime. You could maybe try doing tricep exercises that avoid using the shoulders heavily such as pressdowns & extensions. Remember mate - loosing a little strength, maybe a weeks worth is much more preferable to causing a full on tear that requires surgery that you normally have to wait 3 months for, then waiting 6 months to let it fully heal afterwards. I have seen people go through this on other powerlifting sites and its one massive, depressing situation to be in. You'll also loose tonnes of bodyweight too from not being able to train pretty much anything for that time.

Prevention is Much better than the cure bud :-))
