Need help with shoulder injury


Recommended Posts

Ok, so here's the deal.

I went to the gym with my friend today, and we decided to do a little bit of grappling/sparring, basically I was sparring with gloves and avoiding his takedowns/semi throws. At one point he grabbed me and attempted a throw after which i was on my back and he fell on top of me putting a good amount of weight on my shoulder. At this point i heard somewhat of a crunch or popping sound sort of hard to describe (kind of like that of your neck cracking) and laid there for a second afraid of what just happened. On the outside my shoulder looks fine but there is a degree of pain I feel preventing me from completing certain motions.

Probably the most painful movement is when i have my arm directly along my side and then I move it outwards to the side until it eventually points up. The pain begins to hit sharply when my arm reaches about a 90 degree angle with my body, any higher i try to push it and it hurts quite a bit.

when I try to do a punch the pain starts to hit my when I'm almost at the point of full extension ( a little bit before).

these are the movements that hit me the hardest, although I can still feel it a bit as I'm sitting here typing, its just not nearly as bad.

My question:

This happened about an hour ago, what should i do to take care of it the best. What is it most likely (if more info is needed I will be glad to provide it). What can / will be the long-term effects, if any (oh dear i hope it doesn't prevent me from training and competing in kyokushin).

PLEASE, JUST ANY AND ALL INFO YOU CAN GIVE.

Best advise: Go see a doctor. Have them examine it, or get a physiologists to look at it. They will know a lot better than we can guess.

For the time being, rotate ice and warm compresses.

Well i have done something similar. I was doing some XMA or trying to do some and i dont really know what happened but i woke up the next day with an extreame amount of pain in my shoulder. So i rested it for about a week and stupidly i decided that i could punch. So i did a few straight leads and then 'pop' it cracked and went all warm inside. Hurt alot as well. Ever since it hasnt been the same i have had a weakness.

So my advice is make sure you give it a good few weeks because even though the pain has gone it doesnt mean it has fully healed

The key to everything is continuity achieved by discipline.
