Accepted Answer

Stretch?: With the information given, the first suggestion is stretching. You can use a broom handle and your good arm to push the stiff shoulder to a comfortable limit and hold it.

Failing this see your primary provider or a sports specialist.

my right shoulder muscle is painful what could be the cause ?

Accepted Answer

Shoulder: Usually if it is one sided shoulder pain either a mild strain of the muscle and tendon can occur or if you lie on that side while sleeping for a long period, there is mild strain.

If not, see your doctor.

Question 10

would pushups helo strenthen my shoulder muscles around the rotator cuff?

Accepted Answer

Suggestion: Assuming that you suffer from anterior dislocations, where the humeral head moves out the front of the socket, i would recommend you look at the thrower's 10 program. Concentrate on the exercises for shoulder... If you are doing to do push-ups avoid going deeper than 90 degrees at the elbow since this will put your shoulder in a vulnerable position for dislocation. Avoid tricep dips for sure!
