Anybody tear a rotator cuff before?
 

Sigh.... if you have, please tell me about it.

Thanks

I think Squirrel did. PM him.

James, i think you need to just get a Jazzy and be done with it

Might be a result from the car accident. Grrrrrrr

You can get a free Rascal!

Yep... depending on the severity of it, they can either do surgery or just stick to therapy. My doctor recommended therapy, and thats what I stuck with. He also said surgery wouldnt have been an option at the time, but it may be down the road, considering the type of work I do.

But i dunno how you would tear a rotator cuff during the accident... overuse of the muscles in your shoulders is what causes the most common rotator cuff tear.

Jame's needs a bubble to live in lol

Did you break yourself again? :shakes head:

What I think happened is he had both hands on the wheel as he expected impact, and tensed up. The tensing up and the sudden jerk forward and back may have caused the tear, probably pretty small. But as he continued to use the arm before it got too weak, he may have made it worse.

He's gotta go for an MRI to be sure, but that's what the orthopedist thinks right now.

tore both of my labrums and capsules, what ya need to know? lol

woot! I tore my upper and lower labrum, rotator cuff, fractured the humeral head, the socket, and glenoid too!

Just had reconstructive surgery on june 15th just got clearance to go back to work last week.

How does a guy in a wheel chair wreck his pitching arm? lol

My dad tore his. Hurt really bad for a few days, had to put it in a sling and be really careful for about 2 weeks, then the swelling went down and that was pretty much that. He is old and it isn't worth all the surgery and rehab to him since it didn't effect his golf swing. No, I'm not kidding. :roll:

tore mine... just finished physical therapy. it feels good but i don't have full confidence in it yet. its nothing to lose sleep over unless its really bad

Youll get the confidence back... same situation with mine, and hell, even the first 2 weeks going back to work after my arm injury i was very cautious about what i did... eventually it grows into ya and next thing you know it, your back to normal...

jesus christ, dont ever leave the house and live in a damn bubble for the rest of ur life.......

Damn looks like im doing all the moving now for you lol.......
