Ever since I strained my right pec from incline benching 2 years ago it has never been the same. However, now the problem is on both sides and it does not seem to be caused by any pressing, but rather from a pulling on the arm in a downward or crossover motion.
Despite numerous back issues from deadlifts, this pec issue is actually the reason I haven't done deadlifts in almost a year. The weight pulling down on my pec causes a very painful deep strain to the pec. Originally on just the right side but now on the left too.
Not sure how else to describe it. Today playing football I caught the ball and someone tried ripping it out of my hands and I used to left arm to squeeze the ball against my chest and it happened again. Another example was sitting down and my laptop fell on my left side. I reached over with my right arm and pushed it against the chair to the side of me to prevent it from hitting the floor (so to the side and behind me) and again that crazy intense pec strain feeling.
Anyone have any idea what this is? It originally got bad from the deadlifts but now after not doing them for almost a year it's still happening in these weird situations. I am going to be taking 2 weeks off from the gym starting this weekend, but unlike some other nagging injuries this one does not seem like it would go away honestly.
Lastly, originally it seems just at the shoulder insertion area (maybe pec minor), and that's still how it is if pulling down like in a deadlift, but when it happens from my arm crossing over it's really the whole pec.
Any help is appreciated.
