Torn rotator cuff?

[Roadtrip]

Quick update... Two+ weeks and pretty much the same condition for the shoulder. Doc wanted me on the meds and if that didn't work, off to ortho, so I've got an appointment tomorrow. We'll see what they say.

Glad I found this thread. I crashed 10 miles into a 200 mile ride 2 weeks ago (yes I finished) and my shoulder MRI is Monday. :eyeroll:

Shannon let us know what they say.

I am having the same kind of pain. I can not even lift my arm over my head. I think mine occurred while using loppers to cut large branches while reaching up.

Oh boy. Sending healing thoughts to all three of you, rotator cuff injuries are bad news.

Ask about the modified headstand move (it's done against a wall, no balance required) that was in the news last month, maybe.

The scapula in the same shoulder is in a bunch of pieces, but healed up great. This hurts w/ twisting movement - seatbelt, driving (arcing the arm over the wheel to turn), closing car door, shirts on and off. Luckily doesn't hurt while riding. I don't think mines bad, but we will see Monday.

MP -

Could be what I did - partially separated ac joint. PT and a long time, and I was fine (I have done this to both shoulders in 2 crashes a year apart). Lifting weight away from my body (putting dishes up, shifting a stick shift, etc) were the hardest things.

Hoping the MRI says things will heal fast!

Had my appointment today with the Ortho. Did X-rays in office and he ordered a MRI. He thinks it's highly likely a torn Labrum, not the rotator cuff, so will know for certain after the MRI... Now just waiting for the imaging place to call and set it up.
