Rear delt help, espeiclay my left injury

[TheTaxMan]

Hey guys

My delts need improving, which im working on, my rear delts are struggling like hell, no matter what back//shoulder machine or DB exercise i try or even cable i cant get growth.

My back in my opinion is good and thick but can i hell get the rear delt to get going, i mean its there a little but for a steroid user, imo its pretty fvcking pathetic

My right shoulded/delt and read delt can go for it in terms of lat raise, shoulder press, military press and some rear delt work

However my left fvcking burns with pain even with light weight.

I came off a bmx 6 years ago and landed on my left shoulder and my collar bone can permanently stick out unless i force it in, after my injury i was rushed through a busy hospital (NHS UK) and popped in a sling, i have a lump in my collar bone and permanent knots in my back like something is trying to compensate the left shoulder/rotator cuff

And when i train this left shoulder/rotator cuff its so painful with even light weight, extreme painful pump where i have to sit down and take the weight of my left arm and shoulder to ease the discomfort, my left romboids also knot because of it, sometimes
sleeping with my weight on this side is also uncomfortable

I also can get pops and clicks when training the left delt and left side of my back, it isnt painful but doesnt sound nice

I believe the hospital should have operated or plated and pinned this area but they were so busy they put me in a sling and sent me home

Its been 6 years or more and i dont really want to go back and get surgery and lose gym time but i also dont want to struggle with the pain of working delts (left side especialy)

Do i tough it up and keep training and putting up with the pain or request operation?

I've had rotator cup surgery on my delt(rear). Unfortunately you need to stop training and make an appointment with your pcp immediately and ask for a MRI(probably send you to a specialist{orthopedic}. This way your orthopedic can see if and what extent your damage is. You may/probably need surgery and the sooner the better! any more training could cause major irreversible damage and just make the surgery Worse and your recovery time longer. Rear is the worst of three general injuries in terms of recovery time.
You may get lucky and may only need rehab.

Popping sounds in joints is due to air bubbles inside the synovial fluid, usually completely normal.

If you want for your rear delts to pop you need to do lots of rowing movements and lower your bodyfat, they really only show with low body fat, unless you're a genetic freak
