Shoulder pain, around the cuff. Any help?
I have pain (not too bad) in the right shoulder. Annoying pain. I believe it could be rotator cuff related, and there is some soreness. I have had a shoulder cuff injury there before but it cleared up. This was years ago though and i've been fine since. I have noticed the last6 months that after working out my upper half (shoulders and pecs) my right shoulder is a lot higher than the left. It takes effort and time (about an hour) for them to level out again. I am not sure why I let this go but there you go.
What does this indicate?
Also this is around the time I started squats. Could it be squat related? Nerves etc?
Oh and my right side has always been weaker than my left.
Thanks.

First, there's no way for any of us to diagnose what's wrong. However, as someone who has had a surgical repair of the rotator cuff, I might be able to provide some insight into what you're experiencing. The rotator cuff is a somewhat complicated bundle of four muscles, tendons and ligaments, of which any one, can be injured. And, I don't think performing squats would cause it. Weakness may indicate nerve involvement. One thing I would suggest is to grab a handheld mirror and position yourself with your back facing a larger wall mirror. Take a look at your upper back in the handheld mirror. Do you see anything out of the ordinary? Do you notice any atrophy? Particularly around the shoulder blade? If you answered yes, I'd have the shoulder evaluated.
