Hello,
I tried returning to gym 2 days ago and got my shoulder very painful until now.. (hurts to lift arm, hurts even if i dont move it)
The exercises i done and it felt painful: lat pulldown, cable rows, shoulder dumbbell press very light weight.
I got a bad history of problems at my right shoulder, : i tried to start training 2 years(!!!!) ago and left the gym because of the same problem.
Done xray, done ultrasound shoulder test, been through physical therapy a few times.
Been through personal trainer session and i was able to do pull ups with manageable soreness just one week ago.
Im a BEGINNER at bodybuilding.
Any advice would help me Because im getting desperate

Did the doctors say anything about what was going on? There are a myriad of issues that could be going on. First place is of course a medical professional. If they check you out and give you a green light then I would start looking at mobility and form issues. It’s very easy to think you are performing a lift/movement correctly because it LOOKS correct on the surface but in actuality there may be certain muscles being used in the incorrect position. I had a similar problem years ago. Don’t force a movement and risk further injury. As with anything, make sure you get a clean bill of health from your doc before trying something on your own to fix it.

Educate yourself on the shoulder. I went through a six month ordeal with an inflamed shoulder, until I sought help and got a thorough education on proper shoulder care. In my case, it was all my own doing, with really bad form. I found it important to continue strengthening the shoulder, but pay attention to the form. I did a few months of band work. And by paying attention to the shoulder positioning while pressing I was able to resume lifting, and the problem disappeared.
