coming back, shoulder injury

#1 stunner · 09-18-2002, 11:43 AM

I severely strained my rotator cuff in May(breaking up a fight of all reasons

) and my shoulder popped out of place and went back in wrong, anyway i didnt get any medical advice for bout a month, so my shoulder was basically not sittin right in the socket for a month. Anyone suffer a rotator cuff injury, and how long did it take to get back. DAMN THIS HURTS!!!!!!!

yeah, months to heal but that's cause I only took 2 weeks off from lifting. actually I do not think it's a 100% still.

There is a lightweight rotator cuff excersize (2.5 and 5 pound plates...), where you hold them like a scarecrow position and bring them up (too much range on the negative probably not good). Do you know what I mean with this one?

I've had shoulder problems from warehousing long ago, and I've had to be carefull pretty much ever since. I basically just slowed down the reps and did all dumbell movements in place of barbell presses, slower and lighter basically and that seemed to do the trick.

i agree, it takes a really long time for a shoulder injury to heal since you use it so much with a lot of lifts. you have to do a lot of warmups before anything on any given day and build back up strength slowly! good luck!
