Hi I have pain in my shoulder when I do incline dumbbell press over head barbell press bench press. I have no idea what happened I was fine one week and the next when I went on to do chest/ triceps that's when i noticed the pain. Could anyone help me with this issue? Advice what I could do to fix it. Should I keep hitting the gym?

Take a week off from doing any movements that aggregate it. Ice. Ibuprofen. See how it feels in a week.

For now, cut out the over the head pressing movements all together for 2 weeks and pop some Aleve for 3 days .Roll the over head presses in and out of your work out. 6-8 weeks on and one week off.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions! :) ya it's actually been 3 weeks now since I first noticed it. It hasn't gotten any worse but doesn't seem to be getting any better. But ya I haven't been doing shoulders in the last 3 weeks and when I do bench press I do close grip bench press which doesn't seem to effect it. I haven't gone to see someone because I live in the middle of no where about 3-4 hours away from anything

Unless you get an MRI, it's really just a guessing game. I'd say rest it for a week or 2, if it doesn't fell better go see a specialist.

Mine ended up being
SLAP tear
Frayed biscep tendon
Liseons on rotor cuff
Tendinitis

Good luck, sounds exactly what i started with and it never went away, some days i got away lifting more than other days, but it always flared in some way which made me get checked

Usually what happens in that moment is u don't warm up enough and u end up hurting your rear delt. U most likely hirt it lowering the weight when your supporting muscles had control of the weight. Had a similar injury a couple weeks ago. Like assassin said without a mri u will likely not ever know exactly what it is.

Well it's been a few weeks or so since I posted this and hasn't gotten much better i can bench normally again tho. Still can't do over head presses that's when it hurts the most

So what can you do about your injury? Is there any way you can heal that? Or is it screwed up for good?
