Shoulder hurts and whole body is tense

Well the last few days my right shoulder started to hurt continuously and my body just felt all tense and not right. My right shoulder has it's own history though. About a year and a half ago when I was about 120 lbs my mom noticed a bump in my shoulder and we went to take an xray. It turned out to be an extra bone mass that could be cut out but there was a risk of losing an arm...i said **** it and didn't go for surgery since it didnt bother me that much then.  Now up up to 150-160 lbs and you can barely see it with all the muscle I put on, but lately it started to bother me a lot. Well maybe not that much, because right now it doesn't hurt at all. But yesterday it was killing me during my work out.  I decided to take a rest from working out for a week and just take it easy.

I would have it X-rayed again, and let the doctor know exactly what you are doing physically, maybe even consult a sports specialist. It could be that the additional mass that you have built up is trying to occupy the space reserved for it, the bone is in the way, and the pain is your body's way of telling you that you really should take a look at what is going on in there.

It seems to me that athletes often tend to screw themselves up far worse than less active people because of the preconceived notion that pain is your friend, and sometimes pain that should be addressed is simply dismissed out of hand until the damage is much greater.

hmm...you really got me thinking now...
