I just had arthroscopic surgery to fix the above mentioned injury. My follow up is next week and have not spoken to my doc yet, but know the procedure it was a success.

Wondering if anyone in here or someone reading this has happened to them or similar. Interested in recovery time - I've read so much online I don't know what to believe, but at the same understand that there are many factors that effect that: age, length of time of injury before surgery, every person heals differently, etc.

Imagine going for a regular, routine deep tissue massage and waking up the next day with an extreme heaviness in your right arm. You are unable to lift it without pain. Would you suspect a dislocated shoulder?

7 Months ago, I had problem bowling in cricket (something similar to baseball pitching). Initially the doc suspected that I might have something called as "tendon" impingement. I was given anit-inflammatory. The condition didn't improve and I still had pains when my arm is raised above my head to pitch. [ Bowling has a full arm rotation for pitching]

The doc then suspected that I might have a tear in the rotatory cuff and MRI was done. The MRI says that I've "moderate supraspinatus and infraspinatus tendinosis". So I got a cortisone shot to the shoulder.

I've had two bankart repairs, both with capsulary shifts over the last three years. Recently I've been having terrible, arm numbing pain in the same shoulder. The reason I had the second surgery was that I had torn the anchors that were used. They used three times the number of anchors in the second surgery and told me it was going to be nearly impssible to tear them again. I'm worried that once again I have torn the anchors out and now there isn't much holding my shoulder in place. Is this possible?

I was a competitive swimmer in high school and now swim recreationally and while working as a lifeguard. A few months ago I felt a painful pop in my shoulder while lifting a boat and I was diagnosed with impingement and instability. I did 8 weeks of PT and all was well. Recently I got back in the pool, to begin light workouts for lifeguarding I am now experiencing a painful pop during the pull of my stroke...this also seems to occur randomly when reaching for things. Any ideas as to what this may be?

My recent MRI reveals tendinopathy, mild degenerative arthrosis, and a small amount of fluid in bursae. This was a relief since my symptoms of pain up to level 7 in the shoulder have gone on for 12 weeks in spite of twice-weekly physical therapy and the performance of my exercises. Fortunately, the pain (on tucking in my shirt or putting on a shirt, washing my hair, etc.) would go away within 2 minutes.

i was injured skiing, hiy from behind. landed on shoulder just about a month ago. os sent me home to heal for a month, then we will assess soft tissue damage. meantine, some days my thumb/hand hurts like the dickens, others i get shooting pain frm my elbow dowqn. pain meds don't seem to help. any thoughts out there?

do you know what kind of exercises can we do for shoulder problems? should we follow the same kind of exercises for torn rotator cuff, for frozen shoulder or bursitis problems. I am asking this because there seems no problem in my MRI but i really have problems with my shoulder in my daily life. So if i follow a kind of exercise for example for torn rotator cuff would it be harmful for, say it, bursitis problem?
