Weird shoulder pain - this maybe a bra issue - men beware

unhgoose

I just started T25, which is a lot of bouncing around and I'm getting a sharp pain diagonally down from where my neck meets my shoulder. I also get it sometimes on the second half of the run. Does anyone else have this problem?

I'm thinking my bras aren't doing their job or maybe it is pain from my bra? I am fairly busty - 32E and have some good quality sports bras: Enell, Moving Comfort and the high intensity Champions. And I get the pain no matter which one I wear. Maybe they are too stretched out?

When I'm running I can run through the pain, but with T25 it's been more intense and I've had to go down to the modifications, which help.

Anyone have any suggestions? Or had this happen to them?

I had the same problem and mine progressed to nerve tingling sensations. My doctor said it was my bra strap compressing the nerve there. I have been able to relieve it with resistance training for my arms and chest. I also found bras that are very low-cut in back do not compress the nerve (I am also very busty and very overweight right now).

eta: a new bra certainly won't hurt things, I found some on oldnavy.com that are really great- they offer great support and they are more affordable than most at about $25 each.
