Okay, the title of this is slightly untrue It's actually my right side. I'm 99% sure I pulled a muscle during my workout this morning. I was doing some lateral raises, and the 8th rep of the set went okay--a little slow, but okay. I decided to try a 9th. That was a mistake. I felt a pinch, then pain. Now whenever I turn or tilt my head to the right, tilt my head back, or move my right arm much, I feel pain. And there's a lump on the back of my right shoulder. Judging on the location of the lump and what causes it to hurt, the damage seems to be in the trapezius.
...And I just found out that touching the lump causes extreme pain. I think I'll be stopping that for a while. Yes, I've taken some ibuprofen, but the pain still sucks. Good thing Tuesday is my off day for lifting anyway.
So yeah, if you see me, and I look like I'm in pain or crying or swearing silently, I probably am. Hopefully this clears up before the retreat this weekend.
