Getting ready for a show and now my shoulder is screwed....

[zephyr22]

Ok heres the scenario. About 6-8 months ago my right shoulder started to hurt a little bit. I went to my doc had x-rays and was put on Motrin. Im an RN so i know to always first go to the doc. My shoulder continued to hurt right at the end of the clavicle where the bump of the clavice protrudes upward. Now the SOB is killing daily. I have a show in Sept and Ive just started getting stronger and now its to the point cant do crap with it. Anyone here had this problem or any advice???? Im 24yrs old been training 9years and was a national level powerlifter in my teens but never had a shoulder prob till now.

I nearly tore off my infraspantus and went through a MULTITUDE of different treatments (over SEVERAL YEARS). I finally found an orthopedist that wanted to go into my shoulder to "clean" it up by using a "scope." Once in there, he had to cut me open to repair the damage that he found.

I have a pretty large, long scar right where you described

Have you seen a sports physiotherapist?
You could have a soft tissue problem, bursitis, tendonitis, etc.
Might save you having to have surgery if it's something a sports masseuse could help you deal with.
Good luck.

Can you just do light weights/high reps until your show!
