hopefully you guys can help me:
I just tore my rotator cuff and was wndering how long will it take to heal? I'm in some serious pain and the vicodin the doctor gave me really didn't help. Could it be morethan just a rotator cuff? It seemed like the doctor wasn't sure although the x-ray indicated no dislocation. My shoulder "pops" out a lot when I play sports. It feels like something came out and when I move mr arm/shoulder around to fix it, it feels like something went back in. This time around, I couldn't get that "something going back in" feeling and now my shoulder really hurts. It's in a sling right now but I can't even raise my arm and if I move it a little in any direction, it really hurts! Could this be more than just a rotator cuff tear? Will I need surgery ( I hope I don't), or will it just take some time to heal? Could this be a "frozen shoulder?" Any advice and/or opinions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Phew, now my other shoulder hurts from writing this thread all one-handed...hahaha.
