    Shoulder Sore. Bath and Stretch, or leave it the hell alone?

    Hiya Guys,

    Hey hey, 2nd thread now.

    Left shoulder sore from last night's weights. It was a lot worse yesterday, but is now freeing up.

    Should I leave it the hell alone to sort itself out? Or can I do something like a hot bath, then gentle stretches?

    I've got a Game tommorow nite and need to be mobile by then.
    Some advice would be appreciated!


    Cheers
    Martin

    Dont lift anything heavy with that shoulder (obviously) and just take it easy. When I had shoulder trouble, I just put some icy hot on it for a few days, and when I was watching tv I put some ice on it. Dont be too rough in the game I would say, is it a bad pain or just like a sore feel?

    If it's actual muscle soreness, than there are all kinds of methods you can use to enhance recovery. Check out this list:

    If it's an injury, and you are therefore experiencing pain, then you should consider seeing a doctor.

    Hiya Guys,

    Last nites dancing went fine. Didn't do the big lady lifts or drops, but all the smaller stuff - shoulder held up well. Today - shoulder feels fine. No twang went swing arms around etc.


    Age old question:

    Weights 2 times a week.
    Last session - sore shoulder

    Tonight - do I go easy - to avoid an injury????


    Please advise
    Martin

    PS:
    Tonight is Dead lifts, DB overhead presses, abs

    hiya Myk,

    Oh man... Thats harsh!.... I'm not saying I'm a weights addict now - but I do want to keep at it.

    How do guys better themselves if they back off at the 1st discomfort!??! As i said - the age old question... should one train on a sore muscle....!???

    How about - if I forget the DB overhead presses this week - and conc on Deadlift and Abs? Is that a possiblity?

    Also, is there any correlation between muscle strains and sores - and the amount of weight you push? eg. would lower weights and more reps be a better option on a sore muscle? Or is there no reall difference? either yopu execise a muscle - or not at all!

    Martin

    im not a doctor, but if i have a joint pain I will rest intill its better, i dopnt see the logic in aggravating an injury. if its just soreness from working out, you should rest untill the muscle is completely healed anyway. so rest!
