About two months ago, I noticed a problem
with my deltoid muscle. It occurred one
night when I noticed a drastic amount of
pain in my left shoulder. It was
consistent with pain i've felt before with
a strained muscle, so I thought nothing of
it and just dealt with the pain. A couple
days later, I noticed that there was a
fleshy bump on my left deltoid, what I
assumed to be a muscle. It has been two
months, and it hasn't really subsided. I
questioned my physiotherapist, and he said
it was a muscle that has popped out to
overcompensate, or something to that
nature, i'm not to sure on the
terminology. He gave me some exercises
which didn't really help. I work out
regularly, and that only seemed to
strengthen the arm. Recently, however,
i've stopped working out, and it seems to
have decreased in size. On another note,
I was recently diagnosed to have a crooked
elbow, an injury that slightly pulled my
pectoral or my shoulder cuff and pinched
it, which hindered movement in that
shoulder. Curiously, after ridding myself
of the pinching, the deltoid muscle
appeared. I do not know if the two are
linked, but all I know is that I wish for
it to disappear so I can begin working out
again. The muscle only really pops out
when I flex my bicep and delt, but not
when I have my arm at a 90 degree angle
tucked against my side, as I found out
with my physiotherapist. I am looking
into get resistance cables to help with my
shoulder. Any other suggestions or
solutions will be greatly appreciated.
