Just like you and birds?

Bench was going great tonight; best weights I've pressed in weeks and all nice and low to the chest. Last set was 2 reps of 107.5kg. No shoulder pains. Then did close grip lat pulldown. Still all good. Then warm up on 60kg incline press and...f**k...my shoulder cracked the shits. Felt like I dislocated it or something. Couldn't even finish the set. Now can't move arm in certain ways (specifically above my neck and across my body) without it hurting.

Gonna book for scans tomorrow; looks like I'm deadlifting and squatting indefinitely.

Unlucky, but at least you know squats fix everything.

[Trozzle]

Fark that sucks dude! Not good to hear

That sucks.

Is it a pinching type of pain? Does it 'pop' when you move it high or across?

Hey look we're brothers

[Birds]

Yes it's pinching and if I can stand the pain of moving my arm high it does pop eventually. Can't even take my farkin T shirts off, it's ridiculous. Still can't believe a 60kg incline press did this...

Doc pressed on a few places and seems to think inflammation of the supraspinatus/bursa; prescribed anti-inflams. I reckon it's a tear/rupture though, so I insisted on an ultrasound referral. See what the imaging reveals I guess.

No good at all, fingers crossed it's not as bad as you think.

Sucks

Hopefully ultrasound will give you more information and you can get it sorted.

but your life isn't that bad

[Birds]

It is. If my life was my wife, I would f**k it.

should of insisted on an MRI referral.

Ultra sound will only show youve got an injury/fluid.

MRI will actually show length, extent of injury etc.

MRI will also set him back a shitload of money. Prior to healthcare reimbursements (which won't be much anyway), the MRI my mate got on his knee not too long ago here in ACT cost somewhere just over $500.

[Husky33]

$500 is not a shitload of money when it comes to your health.

Most people wouldn't think twice about spending $500 on their car.....your body is with you for the rest of your life

Oh I'm not saying it isn't worth it; merely saying that perhaps jumping straight to an MRI isn't necessarily the way to do it. I'd go with the ultrasound first up as it's probably close enough to free for there to be no real reason NOT to bother, and then depending on the results of the ultrasound you could push for the MRI.

With the shoulder it could be anything but it sounds similar to my injury which is bicep tendinitis - basically the tendon that runs from the bicep to the shoulder is enflamed and pinches and pops as it passes through the hole(?) causing the pain.

Physio, Voltaren, stretching and no chest work for 4-6 weeks cured it for me but then it came back again. And no overhead presses of any sort!

Good luck with whatever it is

[TTT]

Birds it sounds like you are definitely going to die.

Sorry to hear mate.

It's been fun.
