Hey NovaFreak,

Thought I'd chime in it's been about a month since you posted, but hopefully I can help. Your symptoms describes a tear to one of your rotator cuff muscles, specifically the supraspinatus. There may also be a possible impingement since you have some pain flexing your shoulder.  

If your shoulder is still in pain I'd refrain from any raising activities that would aggravate the problem. Let your shoulder heal for at least 3 weeks then start with light isometric raises with a therex band. Progress to heavier resistance and if pain comes back, immediately stop what you're doing and lower the tension/weight. Corticol steroid injections may alleviate some of the pain, but it won't solve your problem. Also use Ice to alleviate the inflammation/pain. Other than that, rest, and good nutrition should speed up recovery. 

Hope that helps!

What can I do for Q.L muscle that will not release? God does that ever make moving brutal

Hey Bcmass, 

I'm not a physio, but I am studying Athletic therapy and can somewhat chime in. Are you exerting a lot of pressure without first focusing on relaxing? Taking deep diaphragmatic breaths are key to getting the muscle in a more relaxed state which should release the muscle itself. There are a few stretches you could do and firm pressure points to target. But if you can't relax and take deep breaths the muscle won't release. 

BK quad stacker or the Baconator from Wendy's are my go to.

Not exactly the healthiest haha

Damn I have to try this. I have a bag of Bob's red mill oats just sitting around too. Does nutmeg make a huge difference? That's basically the only ingredient I don't have. Thanks for the recipe though!

Damn that's awesome. Just saw some almond flour go on sale at Costco too. Might have to pick some up now. Thanks for the tip!
