hurt shoulder

stillkd Posts: 2 Joined: 2002/07/07	2002/07/22, 11:09 PM I just started getting back in shape 3 weeks ago, last week when I attempted a push-up of all things I fell flat on my face. My right shoulder had the worst pain I have ever felt in my life. I have still been doing my routines, but my shoulder seems to have limited movement and still hurts. My push-ups are now one handed. I have no idea when or how I might have hurt it, or what would help. Any suggestions would be great.

Limited movement should tell you, get it looked at! -------------- Ischjli "Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go." -- T. S. Elliot

He couldn't find any reason for pain, he recommended that I do extra stretches for my shoulder before doing anything. Still hurts like crazy, but I guess it is nothing major. thanks again.

I injured my shoulder about 2 years ago during a fall in martial arts training and because I was a stubborn chica and did not see the proper type of MD, for an entire year I was in pain. And occasionally, it comes back to bite me in the...y'know. Good luck and don't use the shoulder - either one, preferably since it's sorta connected and could cause neck problems as well (did w/me). -------------- from the lair of the Wolfe...
