anterior deltiod pain

[SSW]

I'm having shoulder pain in what feels like the anterior deltiod. It's been lasting a few months in the right, now starting in the left. The pain is especially bad if I catch a snatch slightly forward, and have to pull it back to a better balanced position. (please don't say "quit catching it forward" I'm working on that). also lots of pain in external rotation, like holding the bar on a back squat. And at top of jerk.

thoughts? ideas for recovery?

thanks.

I suspect it could be related to the bicep tendons, since its short head runs under the anterior deltoid. I guess it is an impingement, but don´t take it for granted. Do you have pain flexing the shoulder of the affected side with the elbow bent (bringing the forarm in front of you)? I am asking this because I have had a similar problem.
