Two days ago I tried to mix up my heavybag routine and decided to use the Bas Rutten boxing cd.

He would pretty much just call out combos for a 3 minute round.

The thing is, there were alot of lead rights, as many as 10 in a row!

I pretty damn sure i overexerted my right shoulder. Now i have a pinchy pain in my should and its killing me. I should have stepped in more with my rights, but i didnt and now im just hurting.

I still have full range in motion of the shoulder but it feel like a tight pinch deep within the shoulder.

Any of you guys experience this? how did you treat it? and how long did it last?

I would appreciate your comments or suggestions.

stretch it out a lot and give it some rest if needed

What kind of stretches should i do?

thanks for replying so quick.

I had the same problem when I started out. I was hitting the heavybag and all of the sudden it just kind of started hurting, I could still rotate my arm but it felt deep in my shoulder, I got a massage and she worked it out and never had a problem since.

google shoulder stretches for some... and putting warmth on your shoulder wouldn't hurt either.

Did she put alot of pressure on the shoulder? Did it instantly feel better?

lol, when i started using the bas rutten boxing workout cd, my left shoulder would hurt the most (obviously, the left is used more, for orthodox), but after 2 weeks or so, it wouldn't hurt anymore.

On this topic, I've been goin' harder on the bag lately, and I've been getting pains in my left forearm, it feels like it's originating in my elbow joint. Anyone else ever had this problem?

lol, Bas like to double up on everything, even triple up.

To many damn hooks back to back if you ask me.

Im an Ortho too, but my left hand is pretty damn strong since i like to focus on jabs and hooks.

I guess i have been neglecting my right hand and the cd really put it to work.

I use to have forearm pain, but i think it was because i wrapped to tight around the wrist and upper forearm and the fact that I clinched my fist all the time with out relaxing while not punching.

So the pain is starting from your elbow and traveling down to the forearm?

Is it like a muscle pain, or like a sharp pain?

well that's the thing, it's kinda weird, in the elbow it feels like joint pain, I guess. And then down the arm, it feels like BETWEEN my muscle and bone. And it only happen in my left arm...

Not too long ago there were a couple of days where my left shoulder was hurting so bad. I was in agony driving home. My body just wasnt used to throwing hard hooks to the bag over and over. Im good now though. I just used to ice, a lot of it, and now I do a lot of shoulder stretches.

Cool, im starting to feel somewhat better about this. I just woke up from a nap, but my shoulder is still killing me.:sad:

Your dead on, Im in agony too. I had to take some pain killers just to mask some of the pain.

I really hope this **** goes away.... :frown:
