shoulder pain

[tommy22587]

my left shoulder click and pops every time i rotate my shoulder, it hurts when i do chest and shoulder's and pull overs, sometimes when i do tris.... i also cant flex my left trap at all... its been like this for a while, and ideas?

oh please let me know if theres anything else u need to know

[Dinosaur]

when u say is there anything i can do?
what is your point, u mean as far as supps or workout?

i have the same problem in my shoulder, where i hear the click but i manage to find a technique that works good for me right now.

sounds like poss slight tear on rotator cuff, rest it, if you don't and get a complete tear you'll need surgery and won't be lifting for 6 mths+

what i meant was like what should i do to make the pain go away.


and i did stop lifting for just about 5 or 6 months b/c i broke my arch bone in my foot so i couldnt do any lifting, it did start feeling good then once i startd to lift again it startd hurting all over... and i startd out real light

well in my case i have changed my excercice routine, for my shoulders i switched from barbell to dumbells i felt much much better, little clicks not as much as the barbell use though, i use the machines more often cause of the controlled movement and support they give me.
u can try this stuff c if that helps.
r u taking anything for ur shoulder as far as supps or meds?

yeah i use dbell more then b4 now... but no matter what it just hruts a lot, i think im going to make apt for a mritomorrow i my doc already told me to get one, i had one takn a while ago from a diff doc, maybe this one will be able to tell... yeah he has me on some pill that is saposed to bring the swelling down. i dont remember the name, it starts a n lol

all good advice

try rotator exercises for warmup, they will do 2 things, 1st warm and loosen up the rotator, and 2 when done appropriately and long enough will actually add tremendous strength to excercises utilizing the rotator cuff.

my advise is only based on your description, if this continues i would see a doc

Sometimes we need to swallow the pride and take some time off, but remember we always come back stronger and hungrier.

good luck bro
