Tore my rotator cuff

[RobertMewler]

I'm not sure how badly since I'm not a fag and won't go see a doctor or get an MRI for it. Hurts like a motherfucker and I can't raise my left arm without excruciating pain (can only bend it at the elbow to do minimal stuff). Is massage, rest, and icing it gonna help it heal over time? I tore it when lifting heavy pots and pans at a weird angle.

You should ice it now. Probably nothing, but if it sucks for a couple days, you should go in to avoid possible surgery

Depends how bad the tear is. If you insist on not getting it checked out, keep moving it delicately through your range of motion, you don’t want scar tissue to build up.

May as well get an MRI so you know how bad it is, doesn’t mean you have to have surgery.

I’ve torn both of mine in the past. The right one was worse. It does eventually heal as long as you accept you need to stop using it. Best advice is to try not to make any sudden movements but gently keep it moving and ice it when you’re home.

The severity of the tear will make all the difference though. When my eldest was 3 she suddenly pulled my hand to get my attention and I almost cried. I couldn’t believe how much it hurt. The left one wasn’t close to being that bad, although I was much younger then too.

my medical advice? stop tearing your rotator cuff

 

[DeadWithoutMyDavid]

I will send you a list of seven rare herbs you should gather at night and then ground into a smelly poultice.

Nice soliciting medical advice from literal faggots, stupid.

Don't panic. You can still make dinner with the good arm.

Mix it with green first!

Friend of mine got surgery on his about 15 years ago. Its never bothered him since then. Surgery sucks though, and can be expensive.

I thought I tore my rotator cuff when I was 17 playing football and never did anything about it for years. By 27 it was so bad I could no longer lift both arms in unison to catch a football(I was playing semi pro), so I got an MRI. Turned out that my rotator cuff was fine. It was instead a badly torn labrum. If I had gotten the surgery sooner I would've been ok, but I waited too long and now I'm constantly feeling the signs of a stroke down my left arm.


Be a faggot and go to the doctor...

You waited 10 years maybe op should wait 10 days before doing anything maybe

 

[RobertMewler]

Fawk. Well, I'll wait a few days before I decide about seeing a doctor. Same injury happened to hubby and he said it took six months for him to get back to normal (didn't see a doctor about it).

I tore my rotator cuff 3 years ago...and it still is fucked up. Still sometimes wake up in the middle of the night in crazy amount of pain. Nothing worked to heal it. The difference between getting injured in your 20's and your 30's is huge. I pray I die before I get to 40.

Even a small tear/strain hurts like a motherfucker, but if you felt it pop it ain't gonna get better without surgery or that magic infant foreskin juice Peyton Manning takes. And Fuhrer won't be happy when his birthday rolls around next year and you can't do the salute.

 

[Snake]

You should rehab it ASAP. Anyone I've known that didn't treat it in some form had shit linger for years from it. Let the pain calm down and start strengthening it.

I felt the pop. Nooooooo!!!!

Hubby just ordered me to see the doctor as soon as possible so that's that.
