I injured my shoulder in the fall (Oct), the doc said it was partially seperated. He recommended rest and ibuprofen. I rested it all winter so far. I just tried some light bench press, but am having some pain. Can anyone recommend any exercises that will be easy on the shoulder?
 
o man

i seperated my shoulder too, i recommend a physical therapist

it was stupid of ur doctor to tell to to take the winter off, going on vacation from exercising for that long is bad, u should have been rehabing.
 
try and bring your elbows parallel to your body when you do bench. taking glucosamine, chondroitin, methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) should help improve your shoulder's condition. if it hurts more from doing bench that way, then switch back.

I have had some success using decline bench; the range of motion is limited, thus reducing the stress put on your shoulder. Also; try using chest press machines that have a fixed plane of motion to eliminate added shoulder stress.

I think you should swim, or try to run, something less intense, first. That will help with recuperation and build some strength that'll allow you to return to lifting later. Any lifting you do, obviously warm up well and i'd suggest, do higher reps with lower weights until you've recovered more fully.
 
May i ask what glucosamine, chondroitin, methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) does.
my friend has some problems with his leg and is taking glucosamine.
but the other 2, i wonder if it can help him

Glucosamine:is a building block for cartilage. that helps to repair and lubricate the cartilage around damaged joints.

Chondroitin sulfate:is one of the major constituents of cartilage. It to is a primary part of cartilage. it also allows other molecules to move through cartilage. promotes the healing of bone.

Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM):is found in the fluid and tissues of all living organisms and may provide raw materials the body needs in order to make cartilage in the first place.

so in a nutshell, it's the building blocks for joints. the most important one is glucosamine.
