Torn Rotator

[NOS Powered]

I have pain in my shoulders but not sure if my rotator is torn? I can still lift weights over my head with no problem.

Any excercises I can do to help or should I just get surgery... or at least an MRI?

the very first thing to do is go to the doctor and get him to check your shoulder out,and he can decide whats up with it good luck

X2. See the Doctor. And you said "both" your shoulders??

I sat on my tear for way too many years until phy therapy wouldn't even help. I had a bankart lesion due to multiple dislocations. Got to the point were I couldn't even hold a gallon of water in my hand for over a min because the tear caused inflamation in my bicep and affected my grip.

Take it easy until you see the Doctor!

so true brother i had shoulder surgery last jan,i ahd 4 bone spurs removed and a little labrum tear,and it was a bitch to recover from,and im still recovering somewhat,i still cant powerlift,its never gonna be the same with my ROM but im just glad i didnt wait around to long or the spurs would have torn my rotator cuff eventually.....and in the process of rehabbing my bad shoulder,my good shoulder,i was relying on it to help the other one and i'll be damn if it now has an inflamed rotator cuff to lol,so im having to do certain things different until it heals,im just lucky i didnt tear it

Shoulder is a very complicated joint DO NOT wait.

Thanks for the advice.

Friend of mine actually went in for a shoulder repair and he let it go so long they didnt have enough tendon to use so they cut part of the muscle to relieve pain and just sewed him back up with nothing they can do about the rotator.

Yea both of mine are torn from waterskiing... boat yanked my arms out, I shouldnt have had my death grip on the line. haha

Thanks again...

Get diagnosed. that way you know. I had slap tear/supraspinatus surgery and I knew it was blown out, but you don't always know for sure.
