I could probably be considered in the "trained despite the injury and am now paying for it" category mentioned by Gin-Gin!!

Anyway.......maybe now is the time to practice other things to give your shoulder a break......like stance work, kicking.......this would enable you to give the arm a break, but still be training and improving on other things. Maybe even katas could be worked.......depends on what movements hurt the arm.

Just and idea....... :idunno:

i wont see my inst for about two weeks, im hopeing in that time my shoulder improves greatly. I do plan on talking to him about it because i dont want to make my shoulder worse but i dont want to totaly stop training either , i did that already for 3 moths and it didnt help
Shoulders work best when they continue range of motion. This is an ideal time to work your techniques slowly and with precision. Don't worry about speed or power. This will likely act as both Physical Therapy and may actually benefit your training on the whole.
