In March I had surgery to repair a large tear in my right shoulder supraspinatus tendon. Lots of pain and downtime post surgery. Great result, full function. Near 100% recovery.
This past Saturday I really f'd up my left shoulder while doing flat dumbbell presses. Felt a pop & crack and now can't raise my arm forward at all. Horrible pain at night, very difficult finding a comfortable position to sleep in. Almost a mirror image of the problems I suffered with the right side. Went to the ER & had the obligatory shoulder x-ray which shows nothing and of course getting an MRI (which would show conclusive soft tissue injury) was denied. I'll call tomorrow to make an appointment with the Orthopedic surgeon.
So my question...has anyone here suffered a significant rotator cuff injury but chose not to do surgery, rehabed it themselves and returned to full function? I'm almost certain this is a full thickness tear.
I've already got a heafty cycle of BPC-157 and TB-500 on order.
