Q: I was doing chest yesterday, and was finishing up on my fourth set of Incline DB presses. I got to about my 7th or 8th rep, with a wide-armed path from start to finish along the range, and my buddy came up under my elbows and pushed in as I was pushing up. My shoulder felt like it was going to pop out of the socket, and then I actually felt a pop or a "give" of the shoulder and I immediately felt serious pain. It was all I could do not to drop the DB's onto my chest or lap. My left arm was immediately weak as hell and I couldn't grip very well. My strength came back after 10 minutes but when I went on to do other stuff, my range of motion just sucked and I was sore as hell. Should I get an x-ray?  It isn't back to normal even today.
