Best Shoulder Work Out Beside Military Press?

I hurt part of my shoulder/upper arm and the only time I feel the pain is
when I do the military presses.

Military Presses kick ass, I got big from it, but I can't do it no more until
I recover. What's the next best shoulder workout that really maximizes
the shoulders like the Military Presses? (I know about side raises and upright
rows, but don't think they maximize the shoulders like the Military Presses)
 
I don't know what or where you have hurt so proceed with caution here.
I like push press, basically a front barbell with assistance from the legs, find google videos for proper form and technique as not easy to describe in type.
Whether or not this is a viable exercise depends totally on your injury, so try it very light first. I have used it to get me through times with shoulder damage where it was the initial push off the chest that was an issue and controlling the bar for the descent helped. If this is not the same for you and attempting it light hurts abandon it immediately.
 
Anything that goes up and down like both of these presses are no good for the time being.
I have thought about trying push press for sometime and I can definitely give it a try
someday when I'm all healed.

It's a weird injury, I can do anything but specifically not shoulder press workouts

I plan to give the side raises, anterior raises a try, never did those, hopin' that they're
as effective as the military presses (as far as building big shoulders, because I'm not
lookin' for sculpted shoulders, just big strong shoulders that the military presses gave me)
 
Incline bench could be a good interim. Moving the incline as close to straight as you can tolerate without pain. This level should hopefully increase over time, if it is tendon, muscle or ligament. There is also the potential of partial shoulder press, if part of the movement is pain free, same again.
If this is the only movement that hurts however you may be looking at nerve damage or trapped nerve, which none of this will help. If this is the case find someone who can manipulate it out for you, good physio etc. If it has been there a while, you may be looking at a few trips to ensure it stays where it should be. Word of warning this process is not pleasant, and you will need to be relaxed to help them. The more muscular your shoulder the harder it is for physios to find the issue, so find a good one who is used to real sports people.
 
First of all I would like to suggest you that you need to pause at this stage. Pain in shoulder is very vulnerable and it may go worse if you continue. I guess you like to build your muscle on your shoulder. Which is very good but you need to know the proper way to build up your muscle. First of all I would like to show the exact way to do “Military Press” and then I would like to share my knowledge so that it would help you to get rid of shoulder pain.

The exact way to do “Military Press”: I believe you know that military Press is a monstrous training exercise. This is true that can add great size and definition to your shoulders. So it is very important to you to know the exact way to do it.

Basically you would set up your bar on a rack of some kind. If you are able to clean the weight from the floor, more power to you. It starts with the weight resting on your upper chest press the bar upwards, directly in front of your face to the point just before your elbows locks. While marinating control, bring the weight back down to the chest. Did you use your leg while doing this exercise? It is highly recommend to you that you shouldn’t. Never use your legs at all during this exercise.

Now just follow those steps those are given below. It would definitely help you to get rid of shoulder pain:
You need to perform this exercise in sitting position. Just place your left hand on your left leg next to your body. Place your right hand over your left shoulder, fingers over the back and then the palm in the front and firmly pull down on them and hold. After 30 seconds slowly lower your body forward and to the outside of your left leg, keeping your left arm fairly straight as you do. When you reach your lap remains there for another 10 seconds, release the pressure but rest there for another 30 seconds. Then reverse your hand positions and do your right side.

Keep in mind that if you want to get the best result then just relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling then remain this relaxed.
