I’ve been out with a shoulder injury for 3 weeks now.
Went to doc the day after i got hurt and he said it was a slight strain and to lay off a week. X-ray’s were negative
Went back to him today and he said he doesn’t know and is scheduling an MRI for me.
Anyone have a partial rotator cuff tear? Basically, it’s healed up to the point where it doesn’t hurt if i move it around in cirlces or up and down.
However, it hurts when i put my elbows back during bottom of pushups andpresses (no weights, just ****in around at home tryin to see if it still hurts)
ils_kupcha, I’ve had two partially detached rotator cuff muscles and had to have surgery to resect (reattach) them. It hurt to sleep on my shoulder; couldn’t sleep on my left side, and I was not able to do bench press type movements.
The MRI was able to determine that I had impingement syndrome, but was not able to detect that I had partially detached RC muscles.
Before you have surgery, get an assessment by a good physical therapist. I’m rehabbing my other shoulder (impingement syndrome). Surgery on this shoulder will not be necessary. I’m getting good results quickly and am pain free.
