Thread: Hello all Deltoid pain question

Hello all, Great forum! I did some searching but I cant find my answer.

A few months ago while I was doing a clean and jerk I felt pain in my outer side of my right deltoid. I decided not to finish working out and rest for a few days.
Few days have stretched to few weeks and now a few months have gone by and the pain is still there and I was pretty much scared of working out. Sometimes the pain can keep me up all night as I cannot find a position that I can sleep in without pain.

A few days ago I decided to try putting a hot towel on my deltoid for about 10 minutes followed by a good strong massage from my wife on the effected area, I was able to bench press and do some lighter cleans but I took it easy.
A few days later I warmed up but did not do the hot towel and massage and the pain was very intense so I stopped, used the hot towel again and the massage and I was able to do bench presses and shoulder presses with mild pain.
Should I see a specialist about this at this point? And what kind of specialist should I see? I do not have insurance and will be paying cash so I dont want to waste my money going to the wrong doctors.

Thanks you all, glad to have joined this forum.
