Injured rotator cuff
I think I injured my rotator cuff while doing some (very light) incline bench presses. I was surprised because I was using the incline bench to cool down and my right shoulder started hurting.
Its not really painful, just very uncomfortable. After a night's sleep, it hasnt gotten worse, but it hasn't gotten any better either. I'm wondering what I should do to fix it and how long it should take to heal. Should I do rotator cuff exercises or just leave it alone? Should I ice it or apply heat? | | Reply » Injured rotator cuff |
i tore my cuff slightly when i was younger by throwing too much on the milt. press. pain in the ass as you feel it in practically every lift besides legs obvi. Unless its really serious nobody is going to operate on it, there just going to say rest and try not to hit the weights as much. No science in that, its just IMHO

No, you shouldn't have an operation unless it is necessary.
It depends on the type and severity of the tear. It also depends on what you do. Baggy-arsed couch potatoes can live quite happily with a torn tendon because they never actually do anything. But if you want to throw, tackle or just push weights, you might want to get some expert advice. But no matter what the surgeon says, its never going to be 100%.
As for local doctors, don't you hate it when they say you should just stop going to the gym or whatever. I suppose I could do that, but then I'd end up looking like them.
