I'm pretty sure I have some sort of rotator cuff injury. I thought it was a winged scapula but after stretching I ta week ago it now has a dull pain in most of the shoulder and a sharp constant pain more on my back/lower trap area. Trying to get an appointment/ shoulder doc atm but it wouldn't hurt to ask here what I should do to prevent further injury.
it also locks up and the trap cramps constantly, the entire arm goes numb depending on the position and if I raise it above my head it feels fine unless I flex the arm then it goes numb and tingles in the shoulder but I've ignored that; I've had all these symptoms except the pain for two years now but the pain hasn't been here until last week. I've been lifting with whatever this is and progressing pretty well. Can I still work chest and shoulders? What about squats, my gym doesn't have a safety bar and I get a lot of discomfort in the shoulder while squatting now
