Looks like I have a shoulder injury-advice please!!

[BigRedCat]

About 2 years ago I hurt my shoulder while lifting and it was basically just a nagging pain inside the shoulder that would hurt while doing presses. It started acting up again recently and so I looked into it online- then get this- yesterday after I had just been reading about rotator cuff injuries I hurt my other shoulder somehow while doing arms yesterday. What the hell! Now my right shoulder hurts like hell when I mimic the shoulder press movement. So...what can I do to fix this? I did a little searching and found some advice on exercises as well as advice to stop pressing temporarily- anything advice from those who have had shoulder injuries? I suppose I should stop presses and incline bench. Damn!! Help please!!

Fuck if I felt like reading a book, I wouldn't be on here. Those were some long ass posts. I've struggled with injuries for years now. What works for me is to work around the injury. If flat bench hurts my shoulder, I will do decline for awhile.

I just had AC surgery on my shoulder. Problems with the ac joint can be similar to a rotator cuff as far as symptoms go. Neither one is fun, but the ac joint takes less time to heal.

If that was for me, thanks but I have difficulty lifting just my arm to 90 degrees without severe pain. The doctor says I have to do that 3 times a day, 15-30 reps.

Lets just say that the last couple days have not been fun.

Thanks allot Champ! This shit is hurting like hell. I am iceing it when I get home. I must have done something to it last night when I did arms. Maybe when I was doing head crushers. Man, its like one injury after another- how am I supposed to get big with all this BS?!?! I still have bad pain from sciatica but I have learned to live with it. How ironic that my right shoulder gets fucked upi the day after I start looking into what could be wrong with my left shoulder. Must be bad karma from bad shit I did when I was young. haha.

do you know what the cause may be for this pain in your shoulders?

 

[BigRedCat]

Rotator Cuff problem. Must be from lifting too heavy on shoulder presses and incline presses. Its weird because the left shoulder has been hurting off and on for 2 years but never really all that painful and then yesterday- BAM! Now the other one hurts way worse. It is painful just to lift my above my shoulder height. I am gonna try ice and see what happens. I was doing heavy curls last night so maybe I aggravated it somehow.
