Recently - as in last week, my shoulder has been popping at odd times, almost crunching inside. And when I just move it (sometimes) out or up, I get a grinding pain inside.
I've laid off the deltoids, traps, and lats until it goes away and have decided to see a doctor next week if it doesn't improve.
But how did you injure yourself? What exactly causes this labral tear? Did it come on suddenly, or was it gradual? Can you describe the pain?
I feel for ya, buddy! Take care of yourself, and we're praying for you!  |
I injured it doing a heavy bench press. I was able to work with 10lbs less no problems but when I went up, I could only get 2 reps. After I placed the bar back on the uprights my left shoulder felt as if it had pulled right in the front middle of the delt. My right shoulder felt like it was about to do the same, but it is very minor compared to the way my left feels.
I took over a month off and just did the rehab that I was prescribed but to no avail.
When I have my arm at a 90 degree bend like a pitcher throwing a ball, that kind of motion, the rotation, my shoulder hurts like mad, and pops and cracks. The motion from my arm upright to my arm going lateral with the ground then back up in a 90 degree where my upper arm is straight out to my left side with my elbow and upper arm straight up in the sky.
Its not a horrible pain, although it is uncomfortable. I seem to be able to do all my lifts except the bench going slightly heavier. I am able to do a really light bench no problems.
I have been reading on rotator cuff injuries and have been implementing those exercises hoping that I can create some stability around the injury since there is no rehab of the joint itself.
Thanks for all the prayers! I need all I can get right now.
Thanks,
