I've started lifting in April and recently been diagnosed with bursitis on my right shoulder (via MRI).
Does this indicate that I'm doing something wrong on the bench and/or overhead press? I've searched the forum but couldn't really find your opinion on this topic - i.e., what causes it and how to deal with it.
My doctor said that my humerus was elevated by too strong delts and too tight back muscles (that can't do their job). Now I should roll around on a Lacross Ball to loosen my back, and stop pressing. I guess thats not what your advice would be at all.
Do you have any general thoughts on this?
I'm happy to give you more information if needed.
Thank you!
BR,
Phil
