Take some type of joint fuel, which you should have been taking from the begining.
Glucosimine, or any other type of joint add will help, also up your water intake.

try glucosamine. works for me. I have dilocated my sholder around 12 times. takes about a month to start working. hit a gram a day

My lifting partner has shoulder problems. He benches about a 430 on a good peak. I had him narrow his grip so that his thumbs are shoulder width for his bench press, incline press, and military press. The pain is just about gone now.

MBaraso is right you should be drinking 1 gallon of water a day. If you are eating a low carb diet this could be one of the causes also. When you are lifting heavy or powerlifting your protein and carbs ratio should be 50/50. I made a mistake by cutting carbs for a bench contest and my forarms, elbows, and shoulders hurt like hell. After the contest I started to eat normal again and the problem cleared up in less than a week. All of these replies in this thread will help you with your shoulder pain so you can continue your hardcore training.

Good Luck With It

I've had shoulder issues for months on both shoulders. To add some advise, be VERY careful. I've had to take several months off from the gym, or it was surgery for me. I'd say try not to lift so hard. That was the biggest cause for my injury. Stay away from lifts that use your shoulders and for me, I have to stay away from benching alltogether!
