For the last 6 months I've had some pain in my right shoulder. I would just work through the pain while avoiding certain movements that are hard on the shoulder (such as flat barbell bench, flyes, and btn presses) and the pain wasn't getting any better, but it wasnt getting worse either. The pain was mild (like a 3-4 on a 10 scale). I decided to take 2 weeks off from any lifting 2 months ago to see if the pain would go away. My shoulder felt better after the two week lay off but as soon as I went back to lifting the pain came back.
So I continued to take time off from any upper body movements (its been 2 months now) and my shoulder feels worse now then it did when I was still working out and just pushing through the pain. I've seen an orthopedic surgeon and he did some tests and said hes 99% sure my rotator cuff is not torn and wont need surgery. I've also had ART done by my chiro but it didnt help.
Any ideas on what might be the issue? Do you think I should just go back to working out and just push through it like I was before? Any other advice??
I lost 20 lbs and got softer in the last 2 months so I'd like to start lifting again so I can gain back all the size I've lost.
