How To Treat Arm Pain Caused After Chest Exercise?
5 weeks ago my shoulder was sore after a light chest workout, felt like a small knot. I rested for a week and it was feeling better so I tried working out again but quickly found that my shoulder was still not right. I ave rested it, stretched it, iced it and it still is not right. I can raise my arm forward fine but have sharp pain lifting to my side or any kind of pressing motion.

cannot say in your particular case, but generally,it is a disorder of the tendons that attach the arm to the shoulder (rotator cuff) and this can be quite a problem that requires surgery to fix it up!. ALso, this makes the shoulder less stable and needs evaulation prior to excersize/physical therapy.
