Shoulder pain

Now, I am doing speed bench on Sunday and Heavy bench on Wednesday. Last time I did heavy bench, I pinched a nerve while doing a 1rm single. I iced it down, it was still a bit sore the next day, but gone by two days. I have now developed a bit of soreness in my shoulder joints. Not bad at all, but I can tell it isn't muscle soreness. I have complete range of motion, but the pain intensifies when I press on the bone in the middle of the joint. I have also developed a bit of soreness in the bone that sticks out slightly at the base of upper back and neck. This is relieved temporarily by massaging with my thumb. Any idea what the problem may be? It doesn't hurt bad at all, but on the other hand, I am somewhat afraid of going balls to the wall in the chance of perpetuating the problem.

Get me an MRI or diagnostic ultrasound and I could tell you more, but how accurate of a diagnosis do you think you will get over an internet forum without us seeing you move, etc...? -------------- Iron and chalk.
