Injury???

[ripvanwinkle]

Hey fellas, quick question. I was training chest this am and at the very end of the work out I felt a sharp pain in my R shoulder. I wan't even lifting anything heavy!! I have close to full range of motion, but when I put my hand on my hip and pull forward (lat spead position) I get the shooting pain in the top of the shoulder joint. Any ideas, advise??? It doesn't hurt when at rest.

Rotator cuff?

Just from what you describe, and without being able to see or examine this, it sounds like you might have sustained an injury to the rotator cuff. Specifically, I'd suspect the supraspinatus muscle, based upon your description.

I'd STRONGLY recommend you go and have this evaluated by a Sport's Medicine M.D.

I hope I'm wrong...

like dad

Sounds like dad is right, def sounds like a cuff issue, hopefully just pinched if anything. Dont play around go see an orthopedic let him take an xray and see whats what. You could take NSAIDS in the meantime. 800mg Ibuprofen

Thanks for the advise. See MD on Tues. Feeling a little better, worse in the am. Lifted light on Fri, little discomfort. I hope all comes out well.
