Best of luck friend, mars. |
Some of us know exactly what we are talking about, some have not got a clue. Suffice to say that if you go to your GP with this problem, they will only give you the advice they were taught to give, avoid the activity that caused the problem in the first place. Normally, I'd be against this if the doc were telling you to stop training, but keep it in context & avoid flat benching & the docs advice, purely by accident, will be sound.
Your quack generally does not care a jot about your ability to perform at a higher level than the accepted norm, so will not have the time or knowledge to deal with these injuries (and rightly so, they are there to help cure sick people), & so will invariably just refer you to an NHS physio which will take ages. When you finally get to the physio, you'll either be ok by then, or the physio, scared to death of getting sued, will tell you to stop training. It's a vicious circle. Always better to put your hand in your pocket & go to see a sports physio/chiro or whatrever you need under the circumstances.
You are highly likely to have strained one of the R.C muscles (supraspinatus most commonly, though others can be affected) which act to maintain a correct sub acromial space & stabilise the joint under load.
Once again, another recorded kill for the flat bench. I'm growing weary of giving this advice, but unless you need it for competition,
STOP IT.
