shoulder injury

[test/tren/eq]

Ok, I have no idea what I did to my shoulder and I don't know how to heal it. My shoulder will only hurt on pressing movements and sometimes on squats while supporting the bar. Usually it only hurts at the beginning and as I get warmed up the pain goes away somewhat. It seems to be better than it was before but it's still bothering me.

It hurts when doing incline with the bar, but once I'm warmed and going heavier it doesn't hurt as bad. Then I move to dumbells on the flat bench and I don't really get any pain but can feel it when getting it started or as I go heavier. I can't do decline presses as it hurts the worst doing those, and the dips hurt too aren't as bad as decline presses. Thats where it hurts on my chest days. When I do shoulders, it only hurts on the military press on the first few sets but I can still feel it a little towards the ends if I go down too far.

I don't know if it a rotator cuff or not but it hurts like right at the ball of my shoulder and will sometimes go about half way down my arm between my shoulder and elbow. I was considering doing a cycle in a few months and adding deca to see if that will help it. Ive already tried taking time off and I haven't worked my shoulders out in almost a month

It sounds a lot like what i have right now which is a sprained AC Joint. It can easily happen due to heavy barbell presses. Using barbells put your shoulder joints in an irregularly strained position. It places a lot of stress on your AC Joint. If you want to know what im talking about take your finger and run it along yuor clavicle (collar bone) towards your shoulder. Right where the joint inserts into your femur (upper arm bone) you may feel a little lump. That is the sprain.
If this is a sprain of your AC joint What i would sugggest is this- because it has worked wonders: Go to a physiotherapist/Chiropractor and request treatment starting FIRST with acupuncture, THEN A.R.T. Active recovery techniques- They will put you through a series of stretches that will open up the joint to begin allowing it to heal. Although i dont think it will ever FULLY heal, you can keep the pain down. Also, DONT do Barbell excercises for chest for the next few months, stick with dumbbells. Let me know what the prognosis is
