I think I have torn rotator cuffs?!


Question: I think I have torn rotator cuffs?
My shoulders grind and pop like crazy. When I do a lot of work with my arms, they burn and ache like hell. I also can't hold my arms up for more than thirty seconds or so without being in pain.

Could this be torn rotator cuffs? Haven't been the to doctor yet, but have an appointment next week.

I'd really like to avoid surgery if possible. Can't afford to take time off work. I'm a full time college student and work at a horse stable 20+ hours a week. Parents live 1000+ miles away and I am trying to make enough money to pay bills, feed myself, my dog, and my horse.

Anyone had shoulder issues like this? How'd you deal with it?

Answers:

i hope you,re seeing an orthopedic surgeon. otherwise, you,re gonna get a referral. judging from your pain; i,d say you have some serious damage. if they are damaged; physical therapy can only do so much. the rest is repairable mechanical details. i had a similar issue with my left knee. to completely fix the problem; i had to get a total knee replacement.



rest it, take advil, a lot of advil or tylenol, dr will tell you how much, go to orthopedic guy, not a gp, go to physical therapy. it takes time
