I get a pain in my shoulder after doing bench presses/shoulder presses and various upper back exercises. Anything i could do to prevent pain after these? My right shoulder never hurts afterwards.

take a break from lifting thats probaly your rotator cuff and you can really screw it up
go see a sports doctor…
The pain could be a number of things, minor and nothing to worry about to something that could eventually be severe…
Both of my shoulders are very weak and injured, and will be for life, but I am no doctor, so i suggest you go see one, just to be on the safe side…
Uh oh! You may be on the way toward a rotator cuff injury. You should go to the doctor for that. I know you are asking about prevention….but you should seek professional medical advice.
just do exercises on your right shoulder or you can do shoulder exercises before and after you weiht lift. Such as rotating your shoulders round and round.
You must have strained a muscle, perhaps you should lay off the weights until you get your Dr’s advice?
Possible muscle tear/strain and associated inflammation atound the joint. Take a few weeks off those exercises that involve your shoulder. Then ease back into it with lower weights.
Homeopathy :-
ARNICA 200C + RHUS TOX 200C + BRYONIA 200C together Thrice a day on the first day half hour before meals and from the second day just once half hour before going for a workout till cure and then just stop.Report back with your progress after three days.
Take care and God Bless !
my advice is: take a rest for couple weeks… and don’t forget to warm up
Always listen to your body. If it hurts STOP. You need to see your doctor, before you really hurt yourself. That isnt a "normal" pain, so have it checked out.
No pain no gain.
There could be a ton of reasons why your shoulder hurts. Double check your technique to make sure it is proper then check with your physician. It could be anything from a pulled muscle to arthritis to improper technique to rotator cuff damage. the cause of the pain will determine the treatment.
My guess is you likely have an injury to that area, either to the rotator cuff or you’ve strained a ligament. You might want to see a doctor and then they can tell you what to do to stop it from continuing.
