Shoulder Pain is Getting Worse

For the past six months, I have been having trouble with my left shoulder. It’s tight and painful. I try doing circular movements and pulling it back to see if it’s dislodged. Nothing.
Today, more than ever, it is really bothering me. I don’t know if it’s the way I was sleeping or what, but the pain is constant now. I know that I should head to the doctor, but I have to be suffering enough for me to go. I know that isn’t good, but that is how I’ve always been.
I went three weeks with pneumonia before I finally got pushed to go to the doctor. The doctor said that if I would have waited a few more days, I probably would have been hospitalized. Due to that, I coughed like a smoker for two years because my lungs were scarred.
Has anyone had similar issues with his/her shoulder? It started getting worse when I started actively running, but I don’t understand why that would be an issue. I guess maybe it’s time that I stop being such a wimp and head to the doctor’s.








Saying that it seemed to start when you started running suggests to me that it's likely that you can fix it with a regular daily yoga regimen. (my theory would be that you've been running either improperly, or improperly stretched, and have cramped a deep muscle, which is pulling from your shoulder and neck down through the opposite leg)
you may still want to check with a doctor if light stretching causes exceptional pain. the doc has one cool thing you don't have: xrays; and can tell if you have any more significant damage (torn ligaments, tendons, microfractures, etc)
I know that when I first started running, I wasn't doing it right, so you are probably right. Yoga is something that I want to get into, but every time I try it, I don't do it again. It's a little slow-paced for me, so I get bored. However, I know that it would help with issues like these.
You're right about the X-Ray. I unfortunately don't have one, so I need to get to the doctor. =)

..,there are lots of reason why a person is experiencing shoulder pain… how an someone know if having shoulder exercises is no longer needed…
my shoulder was fine untill a couple days ago when i played a baseball game and then my shoulder popped. It didnt dislocate. but it just popped, as if i cracked a knuckle. and now it hurts to throw or raise my arm.
