Damn shoulder

[Mat Maddox]

Was just doing GM's and must have had my left arm in a weird position. when i came up my left shoulder hurt really bad, now i cant raise it to the front at all but to the side its ok?

To the doctors should i go?

Before you go to the doctor, you might just take a day or two or three and just give your shoulder some rest. Do the ice and ibuprofen thing and see if it gets better. If after you rest it and take care of it you still can't raise it to the front without it hurting, then go to the doctor. Maybe you just tweeked something and need to give it a little rest.

Cheers for the response Kristyn. After being at work this arvo it seems to have settled somewhat still quite sore but seems like it will get better and my arm wont drop off!

But yeah will take your advice and give it a rest.

Well, I'm glad to hear that your arm won't be falling off any time in the near future, that'd make training extremely difficult! Keep resting it and when I say resting, that means picking up stuff in the opposite hand and avoiding any big movements with that shoulder. And, more importantly, after you've given your shoulder the rest it needs, don't go hit it super hardcore and re-injure it. Ease back into the hardcore shoulder work, I know it'll be hard, but it's better that way.
