Currently I have shoulder pain whenever I raise my right arm, arms bent, above shoulder height. It feels sore, however it is not unbearable by any means. Sometimes I can raise my shoulder above shoulder height without any problems at all. The pain is also there when I put my arms bent out at 90 degrees at shoulder height and rotate my forearm forward and backwards. Occasionally there will be crackling sounds. I have asked my physiotherapist and he thinks it is shoulder impingement and indicated that I should be doing rotator cuff exercises.

during the summer i injured my shoulder doing a bench press. i have had physical therapy and cortisone injection. i would appreciate any help in explaining my mri results in a way i could understand. i was also wondering how reliable the mri actually is.
the ac joint demonstrates mild degenertive bony hypertrophy. there is mild bone marrow edema of the distal clavicle.
the supraspinatus tendon demonstrates moderate tendinosis and mild fraying. the infraspinatus and subscapularis tendons demonstrate mild tendinosis.

I had a Bankart repair when I was 15 after dislocations playing softball and then basketball. I had a Hilsachs lesion and a torn labrum.The surgeon actually performed the surgery twice in one day. I was in the hospital for two days. My surgeon assured me that it would never come out again. I could feel it slip 2 years after surgery and even passed up a college scholarship to play basketball because of instability.

I am now 28 and I completely dislocated it by sneezing!! I will be seeing a surgeon for the Dallas Stars next week. Is it common to have a dislocation after a Bankart repair?

i have a confusion in my mind that is what is the relation of the ischaemic heart disease to the shoulder pain

In 2005 i was in a accented and i broke my left arm, i had many sugerys on it and still in lots of pain, at the age of 33yrs old is shoulder replacement for me, What age do you have to be to get it. My doctor told me that i have a shoulder of a 50 yr old. I had to have a rod and 3 scerws put in and year later i had them taking out, year later a tear in my cuff now i am still in pain and was wondering if shoulder replacement is right for me.

I was having quite a bit of pain in my left shoulder back in April/2005 and my Doctor ordered an MRI. It showed the following:

1) Mild rotator cuff tendinopathy without evidence of rotator cuff tear.

2) Two small 3 mm foci of low signal intensity adjacent to the posterior labrum which may represent the calcifications described in the history of vs labral tear. Overall, recommend correlation with plain films.

3) Type II Acromion.

well ive posted stuff about my ulnar nerve and shoulder problems and after about a year of wondering what the hell is going on, i think ive finally figured it out..recently ive had my doctors tell me i have huge knots in my chest and trap caused from working out too much on my chest awhile ago. now they said the knots are there because the back wasnt strong enough and couldnt stablizze my shoulder and thats why the knots are going away.

does this sound right? will strengthening my back help the knot and will a knot in the pec major cause impingement of the ulnar nerve?

thanks

I had surgery 3 months ago for my torn rotator cuff and I just found out that I also had a SLAP tear from another doctor that I seen for a second opinion. The doctor that did the surgery never told me about it. He took me out of the sling two (2) days after the surgery. I started pt at home two weeks after. I have had popping, grinding and now it is locking on me. I have constant pain but it gets severe when it trys to lock up. Does anyone have any feedback on this problem?

I'm 43 old male and I fell at work down 3 steps landing on Right Shoulder had MRI with following results - Mild Supraspinatus tendinosis with possibly some Bursal surface Fraying Anteriorly no evidence of a retracted full thickness rotator cuff tear.

My son has been diagnosed with a Stage I/II AC separation in his right shoulder. What is the expected recovery time and when can he be expected to return to playing his sport (ice hockey)?
