i have read many articles on rotator cuff injurioes but my injury doesnt affect me with overhead pressing at all

i think it may be a shoulder impingement syndrome

it has stopped me doing pull ups (i tried them again tonight and got the shooting pain in my right front delt) and last summer i was struggling with the range of motion (when i was doing boxing training and 4 days of weights a week)

i keep putting off going to a physio for a number of reasons

1) i dont know how you do it, do you just walk in?
2) i dont want them to have to operate as it means getting work off both jobs (the doors i wouldnt get paid for time off at)
3) i dont know if i have a doctor
4) i enjoy lifting

does anyone have any ideas?

Call a physio and make an appointment. £30 to £40 depending on where you live.

Get a diagnosis, and go from their

well if i have been accpeted at the doctor i rang up (i went down, filled in a form and they said they would ring me but never did) there is a physio part next door
so this may be handy

if i went through my (nhs) doctor would it still be £30-£40?

No that should be free - you may just have to wait a few weeks.

Have you tried the basics? - Rest,ice/heat,massage,anti inflammatories,supplementation(glucosamine/fish oil/cissus)

Your injury doesn't sound too bad as you have a decent range of motion and are able to perform the majority of exercises,try the above and obviously do not perform any exercise that aggravates the problem.

Still contact a physio for an exact diagnosis and remedial exercises.If you go down the NHS route,prepare for a long wait.

ive tried rest as in having months off doing chins, 1arm db rows and dips, which were the exercises that buggered it up

i am now able to do dips but not chins and im doing bb rows instead of db ones

but i havnt had rest from the whole weightlifting routine

yeah i suspect it isnt THAT bad as i can do overhead presses, ive read that this is the first thing to go in rotator cuff or impingement problems along with benching

im hopefully just getting over what you have, search the internet for a glenoid labral tear.

i was operated on 5 weeks ago, waited 18 months for the operation.

hoping to make a return to the gym soon.

im glad that you are getting over it fella
however i will not be impressed if that is what i have :(

just done a bit of research, the symptoms seem to be included in that, rotator cuff tears and impingement syndromes
so it could be any of the three :(

im back at work now so i will look into it
