I did somethin' wicked to my shoulder rolling last week and I'm in pain. When it happened I heard a pop and tear in my shoudler and experienced pain, but not mind numbing pain. By the end of class I decided to tkae the rest of the night off and let it rest.
The next day it was worse, and while I’ve been attempting to let it rest and get better I decided on Friday that come Monday I was going to have to see a doctor. Unfortunately they won’t be able to get me in until the 25th of this month, so here’s my question, What can I do about my shoulder?
I don’t knwo about these type of injuries, is it torn? What do they do if it is torn? What happens if nothing is done to it by the 25th? At that point do I just see how long it takes to heal naturally?
Well it is probably torn, ripped, or pulled and that could of been done to the muscle, ligaments, or tendons. Depending on which of the 3 and how bad it is will determine how long to heal, i say 1 to 3 weeks until your back to normal. Doctor is probably not needed unless you tore it off of the bone, which you wouldn’t be able to move your shoulder at all.
ICE ICE ICE and dont train, take it easy and sleep on the opposite side of your body. I am quite familar with injuries seeing I have had 5 surgeries and have had bones broken for over a few years… Good luck and sleep, it is like muscle recovery, the more sleep the vetter it will heal.
That sounds similar to what I experienced when I separated my shoulder a few years ago.
I would rest a few days, then try lifting with very light weight. If it’s uncomfortable even in the slightest, just hold off on lifting upper body until the 25th.
That’s what I would do (actually what I did when I banged my shoulder up), but I’m not a doctor.
Use your head, listen to your body, and do not push yourself until you’ve seen a doc.
