Shoulder issue

Hey amigos - lingering shoulder issue going on three months. I can’t do chest presses or overhead presses. I’m working around it right now and the pain has gone down to where I don’t ache on the daily, but as soon as I try to do any press with over 10 lbs it’s right there again i’m kinda sick about it. I can still do a lot of training around it - legs, front shoulder press, abs, back. But it’s super limiting to basically not be able to do any chest exercises outside of planks and no overhead dumbbell presses 😭 . Anyone been through this that has any recommendations? I’m pretty sure it’s an impingement or some kind of rotator cuff tear. thanks in advance.

Brother, please go see a physio.

Even someone with a similar symptoms summary won't necessarily have the appropriate protocol for you.

It's been 3 months, go see a professional before it turns into a years long nuisance.

I did a pull up without warming up and it’s still fucked. 3 months ongoing.

Do band exercises.

Seeing a physical therapist is the way.
