    Out of curiosity, how many reps/sets are you doing? I'm wondering if you might be going gung ho, volume-wise.

    Can you post a video, no weight or a weight that doesn't cause pain? Ideally you would post a squat that makes you hurt but this doesn't sound like DOMS so don't want you getting hurt making a video.

    Typically 3 sets of 8 reps. And I’m lifting very light!! I did 30lbs Tuesday and am hobbling around in pain. I mean, I can lift way more than that over my head!

    I could, but I’ll have to wait until this pain passes!

    If this isn’t DOMS, what’s the next step? Do I try to see a physical therapist?

    I'd start with a general doctor. Mention the sensitivity to touch - that can be neurological. :+1:

    Okey dokey. Yeah, I'd see a doctor.
