Really f'd my shoulder up doing incline dumbell press 4 weeks ago.. After a shitty warmup due to gym being overcrowded with dipshits I proceed to go into my first working set with 85lbr's
On the first negative rep I hear an audible pop/joint crack in my right shoulder.. (My shoulders are Infact a little loose and crack sometimes or if I press my hands like I'm praying they'll crack) Took the rest of the week doing heavier than normal on all other body parts cause I was so angry my shoulder got injured, was supposed to start a cycle on jan 1
Ended up injuring my right bi doing alternating curls with 65lb db's the day after the shoulder.. Dr appt booked with one of the well known orthos with a 3 week wait..fast forward to the appt I lifted 2 times within the time uptill the appt thinking I would b healed up (still hurt but probably redamaging the injuries)
FINALLY THE DR APPT!
go in and the dr feels my shoulders says they are loose common with weightlfters.. does the push tests side to side up and down with only pain pushing down on his hand when my arm was extended.. Says I probably had a "minor dislocation " an the labrum or rotator is sore from the popping in and out.. I then said I wasn't comfortable and wanted an X-ray to make sure no partial or SLAP tears .. Says the X-ray was fine but saw cartilage fragments.. Bicep diagnosed with torn muscle fibers and no tendon damage, Didn't really get a confirmed diagnosis or anything on my shoulder but was told take another 3 weeks off.. I really dont know but hope it heals by then.. wanted advice from you guys here.. Do I do my own PT? Or do I just let it rest. I've been doing 3-4 sets 12 reps of side abductions and some broom stretching
Really mentally not in a good place from this, it's been a bad past month and the no gym thing is really taking its toll.. Any advice would be greatly appreciated brothas
