Anyone here have shoulder instability? Went and saw dr today and he said that I have some torn ligaments around the ball of the shoulder which is allowing the ball to dislocate temporarily out of the socket a few times a day. Holy shit when it pops out that hurts like a son of a whore. Anyone dealt with this?what helped it?
I'm going to post what you already really know...
Some exercise(s) in your training was causing the impingement (obviously).
What is impingement? Two surfaces rubbing on one another.
Or it could be just too much intense activity.
Too much volume can irritate the joint, causing inflammation and swelling of tissues which results in impingement.
Once the tissues are irritated further activity only exacerbates the problem.
Likely this problem has been coming on for awhile and now has reached a head.
This is a pretty intense workout you did involving the shoulder joint:
I was doing pull ups supersetted with rear delt
And NGB supersetted with crucifix laterals, 10 sets of each so 40 sets nothing out of the ordinary and there was no pain or discomfort while doing this workout but later that night it was brutal and started slipping that was around 2 weeks ago now. I’m guessing it happened during NGB as I always do constant tension style as many as I can do then I rest pause as many as I can on chest each rep for a few seconds and I was doing this then the final rep I could only get halfway up so my buddy came over and pulled it off my chest. You can self heal but it will take time, months.
Shoulder surgeries are risky.
Surgeons like to perform surgery so they usually advise it.
Any surgery is risky. Surgeons screw up more often that we like to think, infection is possible, etc.
Unfortunately, like back surgery (even worse) it is often unsuccessful.
It's not easy to take extended time off from training which involves the shoulder but it's often the only remedy.
Rehab therapy during the healing process often only irritates the tissues and further inhibits healing.
With these in mind what is the cure?
Answer:
Stop training the injured area until no pain. Arm training involves the shoulder joint so it's an irritant also.
After no pain resume activity but very lightly until the connective tissues are toughened.
Beware of physical therapy. It can just irritate the joint.
The hardest part of this is the mental part. You have to stop training the area until healed and it will be at least several months or more.
Could take up to a year in fact.
Review your workout below from 12/6/22.
Do you seen what might have resulted in inflammation of your shoulder joint?
Alternate db curls 45x30,50x25,55x20,60x17,65x14,70x12,75x10,80x6,85x3.
Superset
Overhead db extensions 60x30,70x25,80x20,90x17,100x14,110x11,120x8,130x6,140x4.
Weighted dips bw+90lbs 6 sets 10-20.
Superset
Chins 6 sets bw 12-6It really isn't anything bad but over time and if you tweak it wrong somewhere, sometimes it can compound and then you have a real problem, which is where you are now.
Get well. Be smart about it. Heal up.
It sucks.
