    rotator cuff question

    My rotator cuff (i think it's my rotator cuff at least, its like inside my right shoulder) has been hurting since yesterday because the day before i did power cleans and militarys and obviously did something wrong. It only hurts if i do certain things, like today i benched and it wasnt a problem, but if i do lateral or forward raising motions and overhead pressing motions it hurts. What can i do to make it heal up? Preferably in the least time possible.

    If you want a real diagnosis, see an orthopedic doc.

    If you want a guess by myself, we can do that..

    1. Google a pic and mark where it hurts

    2. Which shoulder articulations hurt?
    http://www.exrx.net/Articulations/Shoulder.html

    3. Acute or chronic?

    4. Any previous injury history?

    5. How's your posture?

    6. What is your current workout routine for that bodypart?

    7. Check the tissue quality of the surrounding muscles. Which ones are tight? Which ones are tender? Is there any swelling?

    8. Any other information I should be aware of or that comes to mind that may help?

    Initial impressions -- Could be RC... could also be like impingement or AC joint..

    For now if it's soft tissue you can: REST, take anti-inflammatory like fish oil (3-5g EPA+DHA), self massage 3-5x per day of 10-15 minutes each trying to loosen up tender/tight/painful spots, possibly some light stretching and keeping it moving/loose. Compression and possibly ice if there's swelling.
    No post is professional medical, nutrition or training info!

    1) It kinda hurts inside my shoulder, if i press on it it doesnt hurt but if i move it it does.
    2) Corabrachialis, infraspinatus maybe im not sure.
    3) Dunno whats the difference between the two.
    4) Well before christmas it was hurtin a bit but after 2 days it went away.
    5) Kinda rounded shoulders but upright and i am making it better.
    6) Well im doing starting strength, so standing military presses (which felt really unconfortable in my shoulder), bench presses (which i did today and didnt hurt, but my friend loaded too much weight on one side and i did an unbalanced set by mistake, which probably didnt help) and maybe power cleans.
    7) Everything seems ok, it just hurts when i do certain movements.
    8) None that comes to mind right now.
