Alright. So it is the beggining of the season, and I have ridden downhill a few times etc... I am trying to get my bunny hop height back after this winter, and I was out riding my hardtail.

I noticed when I bunny hop, my shoulder hurts a little towards the backside. It get progressivley more painful the longer I ride though. Does anyone know what is wrong? Anyone else have this problem? I think I could have possibly hurt it lifting (doing butterfly's) a while ago.

Thanks guys.

is it just muscle soreness/strain or could it be joint pain?
i'd be very careful if it seems like joint pain.
if you hurt your shoulders before you should take it easy
and do some recovery exercises (like small circle rotations in a fireman pull position).
don't let it get worse.

Yea, I think I am going to the doctors this wednesday. I just hate going to the doctors cause any time I do I get some type of surgery, or am told not to ride.

Well... I do that. It works for like 2 days of riding. But now that I have been riding so much and so often, and am beggining to ride harder, I am getting more sore. That does help though (icing/stretching/resting it).
