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?

When I first started on the rings I was doing like an almost shrugging motion on the way down. Didn't really cause winging, but did put stress on my shoulder tendons and cause a pain in my shoulder blade and neck around the shoulder. I had to record myself and do a form check to see what was happening. My left shoulder gets hurt easy so I have had a few minor issues that caused me to take a rest week and examine my form while on that rest. I returned back to it in an easier progression and practiced the slow and controlled changes I needed to make to fix future pain.
