Greetings docs, I’ve been having a pain in the front of my right shoulder for a few months now, and it doesn’t seem like it’s going to go away on its own. Most of the time it’s a very low level, to the point that it’s not noticeable (1/10), but sometimes I’ll move the wrong way and there’s a twinge of moderately severe pain at a certain point in the ROM.
I can press down on the spot that hurts by digging my fingers in between the the front and side deltoids. It feels like the sore spot is where the ball of the shoulder slopes down into the shaft of the humerus.
Currently running the bridge 3.0. It doesn’t really bother me while lifting. I feel it somewhat while doing warmups but no pain during work sets.
A few weeks ago I was lying on my left side in bed with my right arm out perpendicular to my body. I lifted it and swung my arm down towards my hip, and as it passed about a 45° angle with my body I felt pain, which went away as I went further in the ROM. I went back and forth a couple times using the same ROM and it hurt in the same spot every time.
There are some other positions where rotating my humerus while holding my arm away from my body causes pain at a specific point as well, but not straight out in front or straight out to the side.
Whatever this problem is, would the shoulder rehab program fix it?
Dealing with persistent shoulder pain can be really tough, I totally get it. It sounds like you’ve been through a lot with this, and it’s frustrating when even simple movements trigger discomfort. It’s great that you’re proactive about seeking solutions and sharing your experience here.
I’ve had my fair share of shoulder issues too, so I can empathize with what you’re going through. While the Bridge 3.0 program might help, it’s wise to consult with a specialist like Dr. Kevin Kruse, especially given the specific nature of your pain.From what you’ve described, it seems like your condition might benefit from personalized attention and targeted rehabilitation techniques. Dr. Kruse’s expertise could provide valuable insights tailored to your situation, guiding you towards a more effective treatment plan.

Unfortunately we can’t provide a guarantee that someone will respond to a given training program, but based on what you are describing I think some dedicated/targeted rehab work to the area would be wise. We have a fair amount of free content discussing our general approach to rehab, but the the shoulder rehab template would be another good option. Finally, a consultation with our rehab team would be the best option to get individualized advice.
