Pic related, do I even have a front delt because that protrusion is bone?

AAAHHHHHHH What's wrong with your shoulder!?!?

Legit no idea, I can make it look normal by pulling back with my rear delt but then it sits a bit high. I legit feel like I'm missing a my front delt and that my side delt comes round behind the bone instead of over it?

Have you ever seen anyone about it? I mean it doesn't look normal. I'd have it checked out whether there's some actual condition or if you've just fucked it up over a period of time

Showed different but similar pic to girl I work with who is physiotherapist and she said it was internally rotated and that because she's noticed I've started lifting and carrying myself with good posture it should work itself over out over time. Have a doctors appt next week so I'll ask them then as well.

dude your arm is dislocated

source for further reading? and suggested fix?

I do agree it looks dislocated but
>If you’re unsure, have the victim touch the opposite shoulder with the fingers on his injured side. Someone with a shoulder dislocation won’t be able to do this. Of course, someone with a break or just a bruise may not be able to do this, either, but if the victim can do it, there’s no dislocation.

I can do that just fine

>women physiotherapists

Go see a real physiotherapist... That's not normal dude. It won't work itself out. In fact, I would go as far as to say that if you started lifting heavy with that a shoulder like that... You probably risk serious injury.


You may even need an x-ray.. Your shoulder nowhere near in line with your collar bone.

I hate to break it to you, but you may have been dropped as a baby and broke your shoulder and were never told about it.

she didn't tell you shit bro. ofc it's internally rotated. what you need to do is schedule an appt with a real therapist.

a red flag is clearly how it looks. but another is if you feel any discomfort or pain in that arm vs the other when doing your exercises.

judging by your pic here and your left arm in the pic, your overall posture does indeed look poor. however the problem you have isn't just your shoulder, because your whole body is being affected by it.

I can square my shoulder off and make it look normal. I do think it's just a really rounded shoulder from 4 years of shit posture while using a laptop?

I'm running GSLP and pushing myself quite hard but I don't have any pain in my shoudler? That pic I've picked is it looking it's worst, I'll try and find a 'normal' pic

> more normal pic

>normal shoulder side

Yeah try to find a normal pic... A lot of people spend a lot longer sitting hunched at screens all day and don't have shoulders like that.. I wouldn't rule out a surgical fix without seeing professionals first.

It legit looks like some of your muscle isn't attached properly, which is possible and fixable

>weird shoulder side

would rather not get surgery, that shit freaks me out. Had surgery 2x before for unrelated and both times they fucked it up. NHS may be free but it scares me now.

doesn't seem probable that this is from just having years of bad posture and sitting in front of the computer. but could be. i mean it definitely seems like your body has been compensating for things and this is how your right arm turned out. your right delt also looks clearly different. on the up most people might not notice the difference.

consider going to a physiotherapist as soon as you can. getting your body back into the alignment it should be in should be priority number 1. then lifting.

I have been working in a shop for near 4 years, during which all my typing on till has been done with my right arm, same with shelf stacking. Pretty much for 30 hrs a week the right arm has been used constantly and the left hasn't. Then in school/uni I would write with my right and just let my left sit.

I'll be at the GP next Tuesday and will see what they say.

Ex gf never noticed, while my phsyique is deffo nothing special, it's such a change to 1 year ago. Only people who ever noticed were some teens who (when i was cutting) were like ahhh 6 pack, ah well one of his pecs is bigger than the other.

I'm doing incline dumbbell shoulder press to try and balance them and I don't notice much difference.

If the difference is purely aesthetic I'm not too worried, just curious whether it will actually affect lifts? Only doing 0.75/1.5/2/2.5 pls

Is it worth doing the pull on the arm dislocation fix just to see what happens? Just do it gently?

I got the same thing but not as severe. It came from years of sleeping on my side with my arm at a fucked up angle. I had an x-ray done but they couldn't find anything. The doctor just recommended that i take it easy with lifting and said i should do cable exercises as a therapy. So far, it's helped a little but i still have pain on occasion. Just takes time to undo the damage

My right side looks similar to this. Where my back sticks out ridiculously.

AHHHHH! I'm a lifelong side sleeper. Although I obviously can't tell, I think that the weird shoulder is the top one whenever I sleep? I'm home gym (master race lol) so don't have cable machines. Personally I've never had pain from it...

can't be just aesthetic with the pics you've posted. something serious is up bro. if you for example played a sport it might fuck you over during that activity, not necessarily just from lifting. or you slip and fall when you are 50 years old and land on that arm, it might mess you up. or you get in a fight one day and throw that arm and it messes the shoulder up. just so many things but i do think your work is a main factor. however anyone else doing what you do with your lifestyle wouldn't necessarily experience this same thing.

:(
>sad reacts only

I'm a brit as well. GPs are extremely dumb. If it doesn't cause issues in every day life, they will send you away and say nothings wrong.

They'll literally ask you to move your arm about and then say it's fine... You need to see a specialist.

I went to the GP with what turned out to be a broken rib and was told it was anxiety pains and sent packing with a leaflet about handling stress.
