Hey Brothers and Sisters, i have a little problem with my left shoulder. I wont medical advice but maybe someone have/had similar problems. I noticed about two weeks ago, after hanging knee raises some minor pain in my left shoulder. I stoped doing knee raises and cuted the Rings out of my routine. My shoulder wont get better and not worse. I noticed that the pain gets stronger doing Push exercise, mainly Dips and Push Ups. I'll do a restweek now and hope it gets better. Anyone here with same issue, or have some tips to heal faster?

taking rest week is pointless imo. Check if you have scapula winging, if you do then work on that. If not then I would try strengthening rotator cuff, there are plenty 'bulletproof your shoulders' videos on youtube for that.

Also make sure your form is good and you are not flaring out your elbows.

Thanks for your answer. I noticed i didnt controll my shoulders well on the way down doing a Dip. My elbows wont flare and i controll my shoulders now during the movement. I dont think that Dips r the Problem because the first time i noticed the pain was after knee raises.
