>Go to physical therapy for ten weeks over the summer for a torn labrum in left shoulder
>Finish up a few weeks ago
>Last week random clicks start happening in right shoulder while doing regular shit not lifting but no pain
>Fast forward to this week the clicks are non stop and it hurts all the time
How fucking over is it for my right shoulder bros? This shit is beyond demoralizing. My good arm now feels like my right arm use to. I still am doing my therapy. I did it today and it just ended with pain in the HEALTHY ARM. Fuck this fuckin bs .how do i have such fucked joints bros
Im gonna keep at my health and not let it get me down
did you work both arms during PT? Also ask the physio if you're still attending
Sebastian Campbell
Yeah i did all the exercises for my right arm also cause i didnt want a weird strength imbalance. Im not attending pt anymore. I was gonna call the orthodoc monday. Think i should call the pt guy also?
Josiah Price
Bump
Eli Thomas
I know a guy who fucked his shoulder up in his teens. Never found a solution and just tanks the pain in the gym like a monster.
Cooper Jenkins
Based i am a pretty good with dealing with the pain now. Especially from the left shoulder. But it just sucks if it ends up being both shoulders and not just one. But yeah i got like special ice packs from pt, i got all the exercises, the stretches and stuff. Maybe this will just go away lol
Carter Nelson
a torn labrum and a repair along with your ten weeks of PT equates to roughly 4.5 months where you relied (almost) entirely on your right arm for your day-to-day activities. you state you also continued exercising on that right arm as well. you've spent 4.5 months stressing your right arm, you're going to encounter some wear and tear and discomfort is expected. the clicking sounds you hear could be ligamentous, tendinous, from the articular surface(s), and/or within the capsule itself meaning it's best to have a professional observe in-person to determine if it's a concern.
ice your shoulder and only perform your HEP on the affected side for a bit. you likely just need to rest.
Xavier Rodriguez
Thats good advice and youre probably right. I iced early and did my pt really light with that arm. I should probably just rest it real well for a few days
Tyler Parker
But like you said tommorow just do the actual injured side and leave the right arm alone
Aiden Cooper
Labrum tears do not heal. You'll need surgery. I had the same injury
Alexander Jenkins
Yeah the doctor said at some point i may need surgery in my left arm. But it feels really good and strong right now. Compared to my right arm which hurts
James Rivera
That's an option. My surgeon was hesitant to fix it but he did anyway because it bothered me outside the gym as well. Shoulder was in a brace for 3 months 24/7 and I wasn't allowed to rotate it or it could undo the surgery. Good thing I was high on painkillers because sleeping with my arm in the air was not comfy
Connor Brooks
Unless you're playing contact sports, it doesn't really make sense. OP even said it feels back to normal.
Jeremiah Thomas
The doctor im seeing left it up to me. He was like heres my secretaries number etc etc. If you need it. I just didnt wanna feel like i was right back at square one after surgery. Especially since it feels pretty good and i was able to do push ups and stuff again.
Ayden Perez
I have constant subluxations, going for an MRI soon. prob labrum tear. What was your ROM and what is your ROM now? Are you forbidden from overhead anything? Can you do a pullup if you can even put your arms above your shoulders?
My ortho said i'd have severe ROM degredation but everyone online says they mainly go back to where they were if they did PT religiously (though granted no heavy overhead stuff, but at least they get movement back). so are you trex mode now at least in ROM?
Brayden King
Not him, but had the surgery. Doc said my tear was one of the worst he had ever seen, said it looked like a bomb went off in my shoulder. I'm telling you this bc even after all the surgery my shoulder is back to 95% rom and back to 95% strength. I'm 8 months out. Make of that what you will.
Owen Peterson
Not forbidden from anything, and pullups don't feel different from before.
Eli Walker
wow, very good to know, thanks. At this point if i did a pull up or a dead hang where i disengage the scapula i feel like id be on the ground and my arms on the bar.

>My ortho said i'd have severe ROM degredation but everyone online says they mainly go back to where they were if they did PT religiously (though granted no heavy overhead stuff, but at least they get movement back). so are you trex mode now at least in ROM? It is somewhere in between for me. There is still a slight ROM degradation but it took almost half a year of physiotherapy to get to this point. I am not limited in the gym by it. Not sure if it makes a difference but my tear was posterior (less common) and I have hypermobility so I stay away from benching. Also, this

>ice your shoulder god damn retard logic don't fucking ice anything, it doesn't do anything use heat therapy. it promotes inflammation and. healing.
Kayden Gomez
>labrum tears do not heal yes they do who the fuck cucked you into paying for something that the body can naturally heal
Isaiah Robinson
I had surgery in December for a torn labrum, then in March my retarded ass fell down the stairs and I now need surgery again.
