Whats Wrong With My Shoulder??

[phillycheese92]

So i know its impossible to get a really accurate diagnosis withoug an MRI, but im hoping someone here will be able to give me some guidance:

So at the end of this summer i hit my new PR on bench with 5 reps of 245. Since then ive been on a downward slope. My bench has been getting worse and worse by week, and my left shoulder has been feeling sketchy.

I say sketchy because there isnt really a specific pain besides a general soreness/stiffness throughout the left side of my upperback/ lat area. My shoulder has been rather stiff and has been cracking alot.
Last week when i struggled to put up 225 for 2 reps i decided to start doing some shoulder rehab exercises.

Thats when i really noticed the problem. All the various cable exercises i was doing i was literally able to do less than half the weight for my left shoulder than my right.

This has me seriously worried.. Has anyone else had a similar experience/ know what to do about it? Will the rehab bring it back up to pace?

Thanks for reading/any advice you guys can give

Edit: i was thinking that it might be muscle knotting under my left shoulder blade.. Would that make sense?

If only shoulders were that simple

The muscle knot may have been formed by improper form while lifting, or Overstimulation.
To treat the muscle knot, simply roll the tennis ball—pressed either to the wall or the floor one side, and your body on the other—over your muscle. You can use two tennis balls, a lacrosse ball, or a smaller ball (like a racquet ball) if you want to go firmer or deeper. You can put the ball into a sock so it’s easier to hold onto and you won’t need to chase it down in case it drops.
Use a deep stroking massage, not static pressure
Do the massage stroke slowly
Use six to twelve strokes per knot
Work each muscle knot 2-3x per day until the pain goes away
