    when you do your presses is there more severe pain from barbell or dumbbell presses? Also what did your dr's treatments consist of?

    best thing i did was drop bench for a while and stick to dumbells, more freedom of movement and better stretch.

    depends on the injury i guess but if you have to bench use a power benching technique(i drop my elbows in towards my sides), just seems to ease mine anyway.
