    Default 25M clavicle locking out during incline bench/ bench

    I'm relatively weak, but not new to lifting. I'm 6ft 155 lbs. and 3 years ago i could bench 225lbs. now i cant bench 65. Ive seen 3 specialists/orthopedic surgeons for this and they ended up performing surgery on my shoulder and 6 months out it hasnt changed a thing.

    I don't know if anyone has had this issue but im going to give every single detail possible. When I bench (same form as when i did 225) during the entire process my right clavicle feels like its dislocated. It doesnt really "hurt" moreso than it just feels wrong and physically makes it impossible to move the weight (especially incline position like literally impossible where i can try as hard as possible but cant push up 65lbs).

    They performed surgery they thought it was my bicep insertion into my shoulder and cut that plus i had a small slap tear they repaired. now that im back in the gym its no different.

    Other symptoms i have that i think are correlated to it is if i do a chin tuck against a wall then breathe in deeply into my stomach i get a massive nerve cluster pain in that collarbone through the shoulder into the elbow, i am incapable of fully breathing in in that position due to pain. If I am in a chin tuck and press my left ear to my left shoulder, i get tightness in the shoulder, but shooting burning pain up my neck up to right behind my right ear/jaw. This started around the time i had an issue with my right molar, i havent been able to chew on my right side of my mouth for 1.5 years at this point, probably irrelevent but i wanted to mention everything.

    I've done surgeries, PT(4 different specialists over 18 months), and they all just keep telling me its my shoulder and that it wont get better which makes no sense cause i never had this issue this isnt something i was born with, its getting increasingly frustrating being tossed around and told the same thing over and over and now they want me to get another surgery but once again for my shoulder when my shoulder doesnt even hurt!
