Something 'popped' in shoulder
« on: February 07, 2009, 08:33:14 AM »
last night I'm doing heavy seated dumbbell presses at the end of my workout, stupidly.

In my last set, on my left delt, I heard a little 'pop' and I dropped the weight.

Today it's very stiff.  I still have full functional ability to move, but there is definitely this very odd, stiff pain in it.  I can still lift with it.  I moved 30 pound DBs over head with no problem.  So it's nothing torn (I don't think). 

I have health ins, but really don't want to go in right away.  If they put me in a sling, I can't play guitar, and that's my job.  So I really need this to heal ASAP.

Any thoughts/advice?  Ice for the first 24 horus, then heat?  What supplements (if any) will help the healing process?  A small bit of skelaxin or ibuprofin for the pain/muscle inflammation?  I'm praying it's just a small strain, but being precautious.  thanks

just leave it alone for a few weeks Rob, no overhead presses, benches or inclines and see if it gets better, also don't do any leg movements where you're holding a bar on your shoulders, stick to presses and extensions, don't put any stress on the shoulder whatsoever.

obv. find out what's happened first off. ibuprofen 2 evey four hours (advil over there right?) i'd suggest and if  it continues and it's a tendon/ligament snag the thing that made a huge difference (noticeably, within a week or so for my tendonitis) was cissus. i got the highest strength possible bulk powder, at the time it was something like 12% i think.  i've since seen it in 50% capsules...

Seriously,I would go a couple of days with minimal activity. Take some anti-inflamatory OTC meds. Then see how it feels. If it still hurts, go see a Doctor and get a medical diagnosis not  GB diagnosis.
