Take time off first thing if you are experiencing any prolonged (over 4 days) soreness in the shoulder area. May be muscular and you will know if that is the problem cause within a week of downtime you will have no lingering pain unless you tore something huge (which would most likely hurt enough to see a dr asap). The ligaments themselves receive very little blood flow compared to muscles and thus they can take from 2 weeks (best scenario; stopping at that first weird twang)up to years (worst case scenario; chronic inflamation and lack of appropriate treatment and more over use). If opening a door knob sends a wave of pain down your shoulder its time to see the dr; failing that if you lack insurance take time off and do not stress the shoulder until you have at least 2 weeks of pain free daily activity under your belt. Good luck. By the way I suffered a shoulder injury and did not act appropriately as I continued climbing on it till I realized something bad had happened. I slacked on my physical therapy. End result a 1 month recovery turned into 16 months. Lesson learned

that webby has the sexiest damn shoulder
Imagine a news source actually reporting the news. I find it funny how the climbing community would rather plead ignorance then concede that there exists an undercurrent to our business. Thanks for the news updates guys, keep it coming! On another note who knew climbers in Bishop actually went to the Sads all you ever see is shots of the Buttermilks....thanks!!

Wow. Imagine that. DPM listened to your suggestion and you castrate them. I bet you were sweet and asked nice when you made your suggestion too. If this site sucks, why were you on it two days in a row?
Hey there "anonymous" we are just trying to bring you what you want! DPM is a small operation trying to bring you free climbing media. We thought since our industry is climbing, then the Mad Rock post was quite relevant. We are sorry you disagree.
haha you delete my comment and then one of my suggestions pop up the next day. deadpoint BLOWS!!!!!!! Any body interested in goooooood climbing news head on over to climbingnarc.com the only climbing news related site that is keeping it real!!!!
Shoulder injuries seem to be a common thing lately....anyone know the best way to prevent them, I am feeling pain near the socket when I raise my arm.
Not to be a an arrogant jerk, but how the hell can someone be rehabbing and pulling double-digits? Seriously it just is depressing what good genes will do. Oracle is what line?
