The second question will reveal a lot, especially depending on how you answered the first question. Let's say you answered yes to the first question....well, the second is going to tell you most likely if the problem is muscle related or joint related. If your shoulder hurts when you move your shoulder it can either be attributed to the muscles that are working being in distress during the movement....or the joint itself being compressed or strained in some way during the movement. By removing the muscle contribution from the equation (by having someone else move the arm for you while you rest it) now you're trying to rule out the joint surfaces as the sole cause of pain.

Joint Pain Stiffness and Inflammation Treatment - What Is the Best Method? The second question will reveal a lot, especially depending on how you answered the first question. Let's say you answered yes to the first question....well, the second is going to tell you most likely if the problem is muscle related or joint related. If your shoulder hurts when you move your shoulder it can either be attributed to the muscles that are working being in distress during the movement....or the joint itself being compressed or strained in some way during the movement. By removing the muscle contribution from the equation (by having someone else move the arm for you while you rest it) now you're trying to rule out the joint surfaces as the sole cause of pain. If it hurts when your arm is moved by someone else then you've now confirmed that (with the muscles not involved) the joint surfaces are contributing to the pain and you might need to have an arthrogram or MRI to check for impingement issues, bone spurs, etc. If it didn't hurt when the arm was passively moved by someone else, you could comfortably look back to the muscles (rotator cuff, biceps tendon, etc) as the inflammatory suspect. In this case, the usual treatment is a few days away from the gym....or just avoiding the aggravating movement, ice after workouts and some anti-inflammatories.Finally...If the pain doesn't seem to subside and significant weakness sets in...then you've got to ask yourself one final question. The first is...is there pain AND weakness or just weakness? If you're looking at a potential rotator cuff tear the presence of pain would indicate a partial tear (due to the fibers that are still intact being asked to hold on for dear life pretty much) while the absence of pain would ironically usually indicate a complete tear (no pain nerve endings intact to elicit the pain). So am I advising you to become your own doctor or physical therapist every time your shoulder aches? No.But it does help to have a bit of an understanding of what you might want to be looking for as a potential cause, should your shoulder ever start to get in the way of effective training. Knowing how to troubleshoot the cause, while not curing the issue all the time, may at least help you to avoid doing something that will only hurt you more in the long run. And that folks, is where potential missed months of training become just missed workouts or exercises. More like tapping the brakes instead of slamming your foot on them on your road to new muscle growth. https://whatpeopleswant.com/the-quit-smoking-protocol-review/ https://doubtfreesupplements.com/cbd-oil-for-anxiety-review/ https://healthydietsupplement.com/trialix-review/
