Hello Everyone,
I'm 31-5'8-172. I've been lifting 3 years problem free, until recently.
For the past 8 weeks or so, I have had this nagging soreness in my left(head of the shoulder-as in when you look at the shoulder from the side, the muscle that looks like..a ball, and it's slightly lower than center) It's not pain, just sore at various times. I have full rotational movement 360 forward and backward, as well as full lateral movement, sometimes theres soreness, other times theres not.(My workout reps for the past 8 weeks have been:10-8-6-5-5-5-3-3-3. for all body parts, which are worked once a week).
I'm not reckless in the gym, no swaying or jerking. When I'm at the gym, the ego stay's outside, as I use strict form, which I believe has helped keep me injury free, of course, until now.
I know the best idea would be to get an opinion from a physician, but, due to down sizing of the company I worked for, I've been laid-off, and do not have the luxury of health insurance at this time. Any thoughts on this issue to help me get a grasp on what could possibly be going on would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You,
Sphere

Thanks P-funk,
My 16 weeks of lifting are up next week, then I take a week off, maybe I'll take it a little early to see what happens. With the ice, how long after my workout would you recommend icing? and for how long?
Thank You.
imedieatly after your work out. Ice for about 20min.
