shoulder injury again...

After performing last rep of seated dumbbell shoulder press, during rotating downwards dumbbell to side of hips (may be due to muscle fatigue, it is somehow uncontrolled), a shoulder subluxation happened on my left shoulder.

A shoulder subluxation is a temporary, partial dislocation of the shoulder joint. The shoulder is a ball and socket joint. The ball of the upper arm bone (humerus) is held into the socket (glenoid) of the shoulder blade (scapula) by a group of ligaments.

I could feel that my left shoulder had gone "in and out of joint" and a sound of bone rubbing was clearly heard, followed by pain and numbness in my shoulder.

Since shoulders are always recruited in upper body workouts and further exercise will definitely worsen my shoulder injury, it's time to focus on lower body workout and cardio exercises...

After my shoulder recovers
- my injured shoulder has full range of motion without pain
- my injured shoulder has regained normal strength compared to the uninjured shoulder,
my top priority will be to strengthen my rotator cuff (internal & external) muscles, bcoz strong rotator cuff help prevent shoulder injuries.
