muscle problem

Hi i was bench pressing 5-6 weeks ago and weight fell to one side and pulled my shoulder. i went to the hospitol and nothing was broken next day bruising went half way down my arm. after 2-3 weeks pain did ease i have a lump sticking out on joint from upper pec to front deltoid and i have a dip in my pec i can do most light weight exercises now but cant even hold dumbells out to do a dumbell press or flys. do you think it will heel on its own? or should i see doctor.

ok i have no idea whether or not anyone here can help me but i cant find any other forums that seem related to this. Since last night at around 2:30 am i have been having these slow pulsing pains in my shoulders it doesnt hurt that bad but the pain is getting very irritating. Last night it was just the left shoulder right now it is switching between them and sometimes for a second or two the pain moves to my biceps. Please tell me anything u can

I seen this problem before. First make note if the weight caused any cuts or grazes. If this happened, you may have an infection and this needs to be looked at. If this didn't happen and you have swelling hasn't gone away, it may be fluid or could be internal leakage of blood. Go to a doctor and ask for an X-Ray of the whole area. Tell him what has happened.
I am concerned because you say there has been a lump there for some time. Get it checked out asap by a professional and advise them of the exact case.

God Bless.

If you are still having problems, see an orthopedist rather than your regular doc and get an xray.  Xrays taken in a clinic or hospital are read by radiologists who primarily look for fractures.  Orthopedists look for muscle abnormalities that may go undiagnosed by a radiologist.
