Lead shoulder pain

[USAWrestler]

So I recently decided to get back into boxing and have run into a problem. After a few rounds on the heavy bag or even any drill involving keeping my hands up for an extended period of time I find my lead shoulder(left shoulder in this case) slowly starts hurting more and more. If I rest for a bit it continues and gradually dies off after like 5-10 minutes.

I've thought of things like lack of stretching, weak rotator cuff, etc.

Anyone else out here have a similar issue or know anyone who does? Any other ideas on how to prevent it?

Thanks!

Have you recently dislocated your shoulder?

I have the same issue. My shoulder is a mix of swollen tendons (due to training) and not enough stretching. I found that stretching A LOT and ice help with the issue. If it hurts to a point that your crying there is definitely something else going on.

I would also suggest rotator cuff exercises with a 5 lbs weight to help strengthen the tendons.

Hope this helps!

Nope, every now and again it gives me trouble though.

If you are older, and it is sharp pain, it could be some nerve impingement. I'm sure that's what you want to hear... :redface:

You may have torn it, I had to get surgery on my lead shoulder because I tore the anterior labrum in boxing.

I also tore my labrum in jiu jitsu then aggravated it by boxing. Get it checked out ASAP

does it feel like the joint? not the muscle?
