I was in the semi finals of my tournament today playing against the number 1 seed (I played number 4). We were warming up and I was fine until we hit a few serves. I could detect some pain but nothing too bad. I was able to do my full motion without it really getting in the way. As we progressed through the match, I was serving at 2-3 and my shoulder was absolutely killing me. I had to retire at 15-0. I feel like I could've won had I been 100%. I also forefeited my consolation match that was scheduled three hours later. I feel pain when I move my arm out and across my body or try to reach behind my back. Any clues on what this could be? Shoulder impingement?
This is the second tournament in a row I've had to forfeit due to injury (Last one was an ankle sprain, bad slide on clay). I have a few small weights (5 and 10 lbs) and some resistance bands in my possession. Once my shoulder gets better I would like to start training to increase my shoulder strength up to try to prevent this from happening again. I'm also up for chest and leg exercises. I'm in pretty good shape, 5'7" 140 lbs. If anyone has any specific exercises I could do, I'm listening. Having to quit sucks.
Best regards,
Paul.
