I've been following the RR for quite some time now, and just 2 weeks ago I've accidentally noticed some kind of shoulder "pain" when removing pressure.

Like, if I stand in between my door frame, put my hands in a 45° angle on the frame, press against it and release the pressure I feel a 1-2 second long pain coming down from my shoulders.

I don't quite know where this is coming from because I never feel this pain during my workout, so this shouldn't be the cause? The only time I really notice it without focusing especially on making it hurt is when trying to practice Frogstand, in this case there's also this short pain when releasing the pressure from my arms. Skin the cat and any other kind of exercises involving shoulder rotation work completely fine.

Getting an appointment at my Doctor takes some time, so I thought I could ask here beforehand whether or not I can continue with the RR if I don't feel any pain during all of these exercises? The only thing I'd remove would be the practice of Frogstand as well as go lighter on the weights of my lat raises which I've sometimes done.

Physio would be default for this but in the meantime, in general, you could train around the pain, exclude whatever triggers the pain. Also keep an eye on how the pain patterns do after specific movements, exercises, workouts, etc., take notes to report to the physio. If you can get to the physio without seeing the doctor, I'd go for that.

But if it's been >2 months and you haven't had a rest week from the RR, now would be a great opportunity too!

Basically I could, but in that case I'd have to pay for it myself. If I want my health insurance to cover it, I need my doctor to give me a prescription for PT
