I've been having an issue with the left shoulder for a couple months, towards the posterior and right beneath the acromion. Quite a few times a day my shoulder will catch or lock while I'm moving my arm and with significant pain, and there always seems to be a slight dull ache. I was hoping it was impingement or another calcium deposit like I've had before and figured I could just get some cortisone, but my orthopedist ordered an MRI and thinks it might be a torn labrum. I can still do most of my workout ( except overhead press) if I warm up that shoulder with band exercises first but I do have some weakness in it and some slight discomfort on incline and flat DB presses. Funny but side lateral raises don't seem to bother it either pain or strength-wise and chin ups either. Anyone had something similar that turned out to be something less serious than a tear? Could it still just be impingement? I should have asked while I was there but was too upset at the time.
