Seeking wise posters for shoulder problems =]

Been there.

The shoulder is both a powerful joint and a vulnerable one.
First, any lack of synovial fluid will cause pain in the shoulder region.
Synovial fluid development can be promoted by taking fish oil supplements, or codliver oil.

Another issue may be the amount of Cartilage on the end of your bones. Tis can be depleted easily in boxing. Look into a product called MSM Tripleflex.

Weights can help. With good form and the correct excercise future dislocations can be prevented. These excercises are simple and only demanding in terms of patience.

Your technique must be addressed also. If your injuring yourself regularly performing a manouevre, something is wrong. You need to review your technique and repair whatever your malady is. Switch hitters often have problems with the shoulders, knees and hips as they jerk from position to position.
This should prevent future problems.

Sauna's a re a great way to relieve injury pain. I'd also recommend acupuncture.

I used to do weights quite alot but slipped and i cant say i ever had shoulder problems when i was doing the weights.. So this i can try.. At worse all it can do it keep me in better shape..And give me strength even if it doesnt solve the shoulder issue completely..

And fish oil is just a good idea anyway which i should stick with so sure i'll take your advice bro

Be well.

Whenever you feel up to doing the weights send me a pm and I'll let you know what I did to help.
Tkae care brud

Correct technique is vital when boxing and doing weights for the health of your shoulder if you have problems. Incorrect technique when benchpressing for example puts pressur on the ligaments in your shoulder and you can develope something an old gym instructor told me called loose shoulders, where the ligaments have been stretched making the joint more vulnerable to dislocation. I don't actually bother with heavy weights any more, but I do some strengthening using resistance bands and light weights. Strengthening the muscles around a joint will take a little of the burden off the ligaments themselves and usually helps, but you need to make sure you retain the suppleness of the muscles with stretching, otherwise they will become susceptible to injury themselves opening a whole new can of worms.

Could be 100 things...I doubt it is over extension if it is happening in both shoulders..

Could be from something in the back (Spinal area disc etc) or a pinched nerve you will be surprised how something compressed or out of place could effect you...

Were you ever a weight lifter? If so how long ago and if you were a weight lifter did you do any type of cardio that you used your arms in a fashion in which you used full rotation? If the shoulder is not used to the movement it may just be a strain and fixed by taking time off and doing shadow boxing with light weights (first without weight then try 1 or 2lb) so the shoulder can adjust to the variation of movement.

Do you streatch before sparring or hitting the bag? Not shadow box but streatch...not to say you do not know what you are doing because I have never seen you workout but some people do not understand the difference...

Are you warmed up fully before boxing?...Does it only happen when you throw certain punches? EG when you miss a hook/uppercut?...Ever had shoulder problems like this before?

Something easy to help narrow it down...When this happens how do you help the pain?...If you use heat/be-gay etc and it helps more then likely it is muscle or nerve problem...If they do not help there is a chance it has to do with the bones or shoulder sockets themselves...

Go to your doctor and explain the problem and if it is real sever request a ct or MRI so it does not spill over into everyday movement...

The shoulder is not a joint, there lies the problem.
