That sucks man, nothing worst than an injury. Shoulders in my opion are one of the worst (right sentinal) they effect so much of the workout. The good thing is that you can still workout, just not as heavy. Hopefully it dosn't take long... R U going to get treatment ?

I might be joining you. I thought my rotator was fucked as well (back from 5x5) then I thought it was better.Then it got bad again from doing heavy presses.
So I found out it's my AC joint. I'm being treated and it shouldn't take long to get back....mornings are the worst (tight as fuck). I'm getting ultra sound done (helps with inflamation) and electro shock (helps with pain).also band exercises. Hopefully it doesn't take long.

I'm gonna stick it out for a bit and see how it gets. If it gets worse or doesn't get better after a bit of time then I'll get it treated. Being a student I have no money and need beer, so treatment will only drain my beer fund

I did an HST workout today and the only time I felt discomfort was in the shoulder presses. Other than that I should be good for a run of HST.

The worse part is that I didn't fuck it up during a workout. I kinda just woke up one day and it was fucked. I definitely didn't sleep on it or something gay like that

I had physio for a torn quad last year and insurance covered most of the physio. I ended up paying 15 dollars for a 35 dollar session. But I had over 10 sessions. If I played a varsity sport it would be free

I remember looking into it before and for some reason OHIP wasn't an option. which is fucking gay.

Kane, don't waste your time if you cannot go 100% balls to the wall. At least the doctor can figure out what is going on, and give you a half assed timetable. And doctor's always overshoot the healing process, so you know you could cut the time in half.

Also make sure you complain about pain. Reward yourself with some Vicodin.

That's not how it always works, bro. I want everyone to listen to this because so many just don't seem to get it. I've had injuries, we've all had injuries. Most people seem to think that their injury is either a direct result of ONE gym session or they just don't know what the fuck happend. Well, MOST shoulder injury's are chronic overuse injuries. It's a slow process of wear and tear until a point is reached where it blows a gasket or at least becomes more appearent.

Like the others said a correct diagnosis is very important. Shoulder problems don't tend to go away on their on. And if you insist on thinking it is some kind of acute injury, once it gets better you are likely to go back and fuck it up all over again. But make no bones about it. It's not like you're an old man with deteriorating joints. It didn't just happen. It was things that you did.

^^What I should have said was that I couldn't recall a definite moment or action that caused the injury

On a more positive note I'll be seeing the doctor asap about this.
I was planning on seeing him anyway because of all your advice, but recent events have sped up my decision.

Here's why:

*Warning this is a drinking story, not for the faint of heart*

So me and some buddies head to the bar last night, its kind of like coyote ugly, lots of girls dancing while guys stand around and get shittered. We show up, drunk of course, and the bar is dead. So we start ordering shots and beers and get drunkerer (). So we're pretty mashed by about midnight (got there at 11:30) and I hear these two guys behind me whispering. So I hear them say "Let's beat up this guy tonight cuz he looks pretty big". So I turn around and its these two fags in full american eagle and abercrombie and fitch gear obviously attempting to add 10lbs to their boney ass frames by wearing clothing that is about 10 sizes to small. I go and tell my buddies that 2 guys wanna beat me up and just to watch that I don't get bottled or some shit from behind. So it is now about 1:30 and this blonde chick comes up to me and starts grabbing my ass and grinding against me. Now normally this would be ok, but she was a ditch pig. So this broad asks if she wants to go home with me, I say "sorry sweetheart I have a gf" (which is a big lie, woops). To cover for my story I turn around and whisper to this brunette to play along and I say she's my gf (I ended up getting her number shortly after too, so cha-ching). NOW comes the good part, said swamp donkey runs over to dipshit 1 & 2 and tells them the story about how I shot her down. So she's crying and these two guys are making their way over. I nudge my buddy and tell him shit is going down so he's ready to go. Now these guys are right in my face yelling at me and before I know it my buddy is in the middle trying to defuse the situation. Dipshit 1 starts swingin for the fences and I eat 2 fists before I get a hold of the motherfucker. My buddy is trying to take care of Dipshit 2 while I pound the fuck out of Dipshit 1. Before I know it the whole bar has erupted into a brawl and my buddy gets hit in the head and dipshit 2 is en route to kick my ass. (This part may seem unbelievable but is 100% true) As dipshit 2 comes at me he throws a right hook, I dodged it and hit him with a Rock Bottom!! Dipshit 1 & 2 are out of commision, but apparently they have a friend, dipshit 3, and he starts swinging away. So we're exchanging shots and I've got a hold on his shirt just trying to feed him haymakers. The bouncers have finally made it through the crowd and there are 3 of em trying to pull me off this guy...Eventually I get pulled off and me and my buddies get tossed, so we're sitting in a snowbank outside the bar, bleeding and spitting everywhere, clothing torn half off and laughing our asses off. Cops never got called for some reason, probably because there was a small army of underagers in the bar

So between all the punches I threw, the Rock Bottom!, and holding onto that guy with the polish death grip (almost all done with my right/strong arm)....My shoulder is fucked. I'll be seeking medical attention asap.
