no strength in shoulder, but no pain as well

Hi Guys,

getting desperate with this one...

Symptoms: Right shoulder is weak, no strength in it at all, there is no pain. I am so weak in the arm, doing a push up is nearly impossible....

Exercise: i attend gym approximately 5 times a week, breaking my sessions up into arms, shoulders, legs, rest, chest, back, rest. I play volleyball 3 times a week.

Anything bring it on? i dont recall anything bringing this on, no dislocation no sudden pain, just all of a sudden cant lift any weight with right arm, my tricep seems particularly weak....for some reason

note. i am super flexiable....have been doing exercises with rubber band and light weights to assist strengthening

any thought at all guys?

if you need more info please ask :)

thanks again!

I'm not a physio but it sounds like you have shoulder instability in the right shoulder. I'd suggest that you go and see a physio to see if they can diagnose what's going on. They will also be able to suggest what exercises you should be doing and a graded program to help get your strength up.

You may be noticing that one of the reasons why you are not getting stronger is that you are strengthening your shoulder in a different range. There are some great shoulder physio's around in Sydney. The guys out at the North Sydney sports medicine and physiotherapy clinic are awesome. There is also another place which is in Sydney called the shoulder injury clinic.
