Hi All,

I'm new to the forum and wondered if you could possibly offer me some advice.

About 4 weeks ago I was ten pin bowling and was bowling the balls quite fast (Being a bit silly really! after a few beers too many).

Anyway the next day I woke up with severe pain in my shoulder. I thought I had just pulled a muscle and continued to get on with my life for the next week. The pain eased off but after a session mowing the grass in the garden it came back worse than before. I decided to visit my GP who advised it was most likely a pulled muscle and prescribed me some Wikipedia reference-linkanti-inflammatory tablets and painkillers. I took these for a week and the pain slowly went away.

I have now stopped taking these and it is 4 weeks after the injury. I now only have a dull ache which is disappearing by the day but have all of a sudden developed a clunking of the shoulder which seems to happen when my arms are at rest by my side. If they move when my my side the clunk happens but only on the injured shoulder side.

Have you any ideas?

Before all this happened I was at the gym 3 times a week lifting weights but now i'm scared to go back until its fully healed incase I damage the shoulder more.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,

Rob
