So unfortunately I’ve got some kind of injury. It’s in the anterior deltoid area and now push exercises seem to aggravate it. It is something that I felt slight discomfort with even before I started lifting again. Only thing I could attribute it to is the years of sleeping on that side. I started lifting and did what I could and took it easy on incline and OHP. Flat press was never too much of an issue and in fact got to the point to where I could press 100lb dumbbells for reps. One push day however I went a little to hard with inclines and I felt like I exacerbated the issue so I took a few days(not enough apparently) off of press exercises. I then came back and like an idiot went pretty hard on chest thinking I was ok. Back to heavy ass dumbbell press. Ego lifting like a dummy. Any who I felt a (not)funny noise, could have been a crinkle noise or some kind of tear noise. Not 100% sure. Now lifting my left arm above 90 degrees in the front hurts. Lateral raise seems ok and I still have no issues with pull exercises except for heavy curls probably because my form sucks and my shoulders get involved. Will tighten those up obviously.
Gonna get a doctors appointment but with my insurance I have to see my GP first and take it from there. Not super skied about that because I know how long that process can be even before I get a referral to a specialist.
Praying to god it’s not my rotator cuff, but that’s what seems like the culprit unfortunately.
Any insight or experience would be greatly appreciated as I am absolutely devastated right now as I was making great progress and lifting has made a huge improvement on my mental health.
