Hi there
I've got a question regarding this pain I get whenever I gym my shoulders. I feel it on shoulder joint (like where my arm connects to my shoulder) and I only feel it on my right side. I only feel it when I exercise my shoulders at gym but I also feel it a bit when I do Dumbell Chest Presses.
It first started about 6 months ago. I stopped gymming then for 6 months for other reasons and now I'm back at gym and the pain is back.
Can you help me?
Regards
Lior

Sorry to hear about your problem. Before we can really help you, we need some more information about your injury.
1. What does the pain feel like, sharp / burning / constant ache
2. How long does the pain take to settle? Does it go away straight away following the activity, or does it linger for a few hours / days.
3. Are you doing a dumbell presses lying down? or military style seated? And what other activities (at gym or during the day) aggravate your pain?
4. Can you be more specific at your location of the pain. Is it on the front / side / back / top? try and give be as specific as you can.
5. Some quick tests
- Pain when you bring your arms to 90 degrees to the side holding a light weight? (few kgs) ? turn your thumbs down as far as you can, then back up as far as you can. ? does the pain change?
- Try the same test forwards, again alternating the position of your thumbs
- Put your hand behind your back, push hard into a wall. any pain?
- Can you touch the pain? Does pressing it make the pain change? Worse / Better?
If you can answer some of these questions it will help in diagnosing (although it will likely take a few more questions to narrow things down). :)
Hi physioP
1. It is a sharp pain
2. The pain goes away straight after I stop
3. I do my dumbell presses lying down. I also feel the pain when I do a seated dumbell shoulder press
4. It is in the front. If you lift your arm 90 degrees up, there is a "dent" right in between your arm and shoulder, that is where the pain is. It is almost like the pain is in the socket where my arm meets my shoulder
5. After lifting my arm 90 degrees with a lightweight, i do feel like the pain but it does not change wen I rotate my thumbs. Same result forwards. Pressing against the pain makes it worse.
Thank you for helping me out
I feel similar joint pain in my shoulders when I play cricket. I will take rest to recover from the pain
I felt this pain about 6 months ago as well. I only get it when I gymQuote:

I will advise you to don't discontinue gym. If you discontinue and again start, you will again feel the pain.
Thanks for the advice, Ill try it out and let you know what happebsQuote:

Could you try to tighten the muscle behind your shoulder before you lift your arm ( with light weight first)? or use the other hand hold the head of your arm ( where you arm meet the socket). let us know if this helps.
Hay mate,
