How can I tell if I have damaged shoulder cartilage?!
Question:
How can I tell if I have damaged shoulder cartilage?
I landed awkwardly on my shoulder playing soccer.
I have restricted movement and lots of grinding.
How do I know its muscular damage and not a cartilage issue
Answers:
If you had muscular issues you would have the feeling like your arm and shoulder area is weak and you are unable to move it. In your case that doesnt sound like the problem. You may have dislocated your shoulder or have something else wrong with your shoulder that you should have it checked out by an orthopedic doctor. It is possible that you may need surgery, or if it isnt that bad you may just need some simple therapy. either way good luck. and hang in there
