I just had this happen to me as well. I have impingement of my shoulder joint also. I didn't think the cortisone shot did much. I finally took the prednisone and my arm feels great again. Dr who gave me the shot said same thing. Dangle arm loosly and even use a weight while doing it. I saw a guy who had it get stuck and he cant even lift his shoulder now... has to have another surgery. Just don't do over head stuff or lift anything too heavy. You have to stretch it out tho. |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 19375683 United States02/14/2016 01:31 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | From my experience 1/3 or 2/3 tears can heal on their own, obvioulsy the worse the longer it takes. The PT and Doc is doing the standard protocols so you are good their. However many patients often need a surgical suturing of full tears to aid the healing process. Yes they can heal if they are along the length of the muscle belly, but horizontal full tears are surgical. The timing of healing will be a long process 6 weeks minimum with deficits afterwards that PT or Chiro may need to aid in recovery. They can be very tricky when they are full tears. |

Did you have a tear? And what exactly is an "impingement" of the shoulder? Thank you for your response  If they say it's true, it probably isn't. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 19375683 Thanks for that. One full one partial. One thing I keep noticing is a popping in my shoulder. When I asked they said it was the partial not attached fully to bone, and snapping when stressed  It's already been since November. Cortisone definitely helped, but still have sharp and aching pains. Sigh, and we're getting snow tomorrow. I won't be able to shovel. Not like I want to though.... If they say it's true, it probably isn't. |

(OP) User ID: 70580194 United States02/14/2016 02:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Mine was torrn and got tired of the pain and ended up getting it fixed. It's long recovery process so don't expect a quick recovery. Quoting: Amazng1 Fixed, as in surgery? Ortho said even a complete tear could heal. A partial, I can see but a complete tear repair itself without surgery? Was yours a complete tear? They're probably delaying, just to milk more $$. If they say it's true, it probably isn't. |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 71073009 United States02/14/2016 02:17 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Mine actually healed up - I thought it never would! Very encouraging. Ck with your doc, but there is a gentle exercise you can do in a doorway - stretch your arms out and place hands/wrists on either side of the doorway, then lean gently forward. Basically like those stretches in high school sports where a buddy pulls your shoulders back. Feels pretty good, and gently stretches. It helped me, but again, ck with your doc for your particular tear to make sure it's cool, I'd say. |

(OP) User ID: 70580194 United States02/14/2016 06:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | i got a lot if relief and faster healing time with an infrared heating pad. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 54513945 They've actually been doing that in therapy. It helped with the tense muscles but gave no relief to the sharp pain when I move wrong. Hoping they can fix it. Hard to live alone and be limited physically all the sudden. It's amazing how quickly ones life can change. If they say it's true, it probably isn't. |
