Muscle tear off the bone

[Shannon D]

Hi guys i have been training for around 12 months. A few months back (Dec) i started noticing that doing flyes fatigued my left shoulder. I thought this was just from repetition so i started going physio however i stopped excerising due to the fact that the faitgues started happening with any and all excercises i tried to do. An ultra-sound recently discovered that i have a large partial tear in one of my left rotator cuffs. The doctor mentioned that it had tore off the bone. My concern is; has anyone suffered a similar problem and have you been able to make a full recovery and be able to train just as hard as before the injury?

are you going to get the tear repaired?

Apparently the doctor and physio says it should heal with time and rest. I have another appointment with the doctor in 3 days and he may consider using a quaterzone injection. With this injury however i have not experienced any intense pain and i have full range of movement. The only thing i feel is fatigue if i lift something heavy enough

ouch that sounds very painful, i hope it gets better soon.

I think my father had something similar a few years back, they treated his with some injections and it seems to have sorted itself out.

anyone here had any similar injuries?

Your description of the injury doesn't really give a lot for people to know if they did or not.

Muscles involved? Size of tear?

Not really the same. But I just had surgery 7 months ago for a torn labrum in my shoulder, reattached with two anchors.
