Sore shoulder

No haven't been to physio.

I have been doing lots of stretching and I find if I'm really strict on my form and don't try and go to heavy I can control the pain

Also I have been doing internal- external rotations before every work out, only light weight about 5 kg and about 20 reps. they are making it feel a lot stronger.

I just have to be really careful with front an lateral raises as these seem to cause the most pain ( not happy as I love those exercises ).

Thanks for the link though he made a lot of sense and have taken it all on board. I understand what he means by keeping shoulders back to take pressure off shoulders.

Thanks mate
 
I found when my shoulder was at its worse that I could still lift heavy on certain things. I couldn't dumbbell shoulder press (still can't) but could push press, couldn't dumbbell bench but could barbell bench fine, basically most things where I could use a bar, hence both arms at once, I could sort of ease the load on the sore shoulder a bit somehow. Go through the motions at home with a broom stick or similar and see what movements don't cause pain.
 
stop doing front and traditional lateral raises.


One other thing I found helpful was
L-Lateral raise and press.

It's amazing how good it feels today I think the stretching and the ext- int rotations have done wonders.i did shoulder work out yesterday

Yeah I just have to be careful when I'm lifting and I can avoid the pain. Doing those rotations is the go though
