Suggest Remedy For Pain And Soreness In Shoulder
I was lifting weights on the bench press yesterday and lost my balance and had to have help getting the bar up. When I tried to put the bar back up on the rack, I got one end of it up and couldn t get the other end up and had to be helped. My shoulder was sore afterwards and I ignored it and finished my lifting, with someone spotting me. Well since last night, my shoulder on the side I needed help getting the bar up, is very sore and tender to the touch. I m able to move my shoulder every direction, but it is very painful. When I don t move it for a while and then move it, it is very sore. Is it broken/separated/dislocated? What should I do?

Hi,
It seems to be ligament injury, apply a shoulder immobilizer for 10 days, don't lift weights, apply ice pack, take over the counter painkillers and if not relieved in 10 days get your MRI scan done to know the exact cause.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
