Shoulder rotator Pain

[hehasrisen]

When i started lifting I always tried doing the most weight i could’ve done and because of that i tried to do 30lbs on shoulder press and my right shoulder just gave out and bent backwards i luckily dropped the weight fast but i had the pain for a few days and it left. Now i can comfortably do 40lb shoulder press but ever since that day i always experienced pain in my shoulder when doing presses and espcially when doing lateral raises. Everyday tasks like shaking a bottle also cause this pain l. Does anyone know what it is or if i should just rest my shoulder? i want to know how serious this injury is as it’s been persistent for about 4 months now

@hehasrisen Rest it and see a Dr and physiotherapist. A messed up shoulder is one of the hardest injuries to overcome.

@hehasrisen I'm no doctor or physical therapist, but I am a certified personal trainer. Sounds like you could have strained the muscles of the rotator cuff or even the delt itself. Could also be the bicep tendon giving you an issue. First of all, lighten the load on your overhead press and delt raise movements or discontinue them until you start to find some relief. Second, if the muscle is overactive, you could benefit from massage therapy or some self-myofascial release. Try to use a massage ball or a theracane tool on the areas you feel discomfort. These techniques will usually help you gain mobility back and lessen or eliminate the pain you experience while lifting or just completing simple tasks.
