for about the last 6 weeks I've had a reoccurring shoulder injury...
it started off when I was doing cable chest press and at upward angel, in a seated position...just a slight strain perhaps...in my front/anterior shoulder...wasn't getting any better, and I discovered I think I was sleeping on it and making it hard for it to recover...I avoided doing chest and shoulders for about a week plus, then started back very light, no problem, just slight soreness/strain...
the other day it was feeling almost 100 percent better so I decided to do inclide chest press with dumbbells...30's, 40's, 50's, and they all felt good so I went with the 60's
on the first rep I did and I felt a small pop...continued with the exercise, at the top it felt like I had no strength, so I did another and it didn't feel right, so I went ahead and did some more...
after that I stoped chest and just did some push ups (which felt pretty good, just very minor soreness)
it's a few days later and my shoulder feels very bruised/sore...hard to move in certain positions...
Should I go to an orthopedic surgeon to get it looked at??
or is it most likely just a strain and only time will heal it and a dr visit would be pointless...
any advice is appreciated...
