What Causes Pain In The Left Shoulder?

I injured my left shoulder while doing crossfit (kettlebell swings overhead) and although it started off as only painful if I applied pressure (attempted to lift something or push something) now there is a throbbing pain from that area of my shoulder. Thinking tendonitis or something wrong with my rotator cuff? Thoughts?

Hi,
Welcome to health care magic.
I understand your concrn.
Your symptoms suggest overstretching of some muscles/tendons forming rotator cuff of shoulder.
You should consult an orthopedic surgeon .. get investigations like MRI to detect exact cause followed by specific msnagement (antu inflammatory pills/steroid injection/physiotherapy or surgery in sime patients )
Till rhen you should give rest to the part/hot or cold packs or over the counter anti inflammatory pills ( like ibuprofen).
Thanks.
