Shoulder pains

BRADDY · 04-03-2006, 03:33 PM

About 5 weeks ago whilst training my back i injured my shoulder doing narrow grip pull downs.
as i went to do my first set my shoulder seemed to come out of its shocket (it didnt put but felt like it did)
the day after it wasnt that painfull but gave me some pain when moving and stretching it.
went to the doctors about 2 weeks later, got some anti- inflam which seemed to take about 90% of the pain away.
been slowly gettin back into the gym but still feeling the a slight plain when doing any pulling of stretching exercise. i cant seem to get rid of the pain on one side of the shoulder

any help

Cheers

The shoulders are a tricky joint. Unfortunately, shoulder injuries among weightlifters are quite prevalent. About 4 years ago I subluxed my left shoulder (I'm assuming this is what happened from your description). Whenever I would do any type of benching, my shoulder would actually sublux (partially dislocate) from the rear. Overall, it felt a whole lot more unstable than it had prior to the injury. In the end I had to see a physical therapist for a while to rehabilitate and strengthen the surrounding rotator cuff's muscles. All the time and effort I put into rehabilitating it was well worth it however. Stability is hardly a problem anymore and I can go Very heavy on bench with no worries or shoulder concerns.

If the pain is unbearable, I highly recommend Acupuncture. It is excellent for pain relief.

I think the moral of the story is that RC exercises are never a bad idea - I do them regularly despite having no (current) shoulder problems.
