Well, they didn't say anything about any tears. But all they did was take an x-ray and pull, push, and prod the shoulder area. No real diagnosis. He just said come back if it gets worse. It's starting to get worse. Not much worse, but little by little it gets more and more sore.
I'm a bit concerned that these situations are getting better as I get stronger overall. I'm doing a lot of military presses with dumbbells, chest presses with dumbbells, rows, dips, and close grip pull downs. I've gotten stronger on each of those exercises over the past 12 weeks, but the dysfunction doesn't seem to be getting any better. I guess I thought that if I was stronger the issues would lessen. Instead they seem to be the same or slightly worse. Perhaps I'm just furthering an existing imbalance? Do I stop training that area?
I guess I'm going to have to pony up the dough to see a physical therapist. Hopefully their answer to me won't be, "stop lifting weights."
