A member asked:
I got a sub cutaneous bruise on my shoulder muscle while doing inclined bench press a few days back. can i continue exercising?

Yes: If you have a small bruise and full range of motion in your shoulder joint without any pain, there is no reason why you should stop exercising. If you have trouble moving the arm then avoid exercises and get an X Ray or Ultrasound done

Yes: once swelling and bruising subside and pain gone- if still painful then get evaluated
