I think I have torn something in my shoulder. I did Heavy(for me) incline db preses and felt an akward rip in the joint.
Symptoms are pulsating pain. For 3 Days I've had this pain now I'm not sure what is going on it wont go away. I'm on painkillers now which helps abit….
I'm unable to even lift my arm without extreme pain. I have quite high pain tolerance but this is the worst I've had yet so far in my Life :/ It's like a constant tooth ache or head ache in my shoulder. If I lay down and place my arm in a certain position this pain is reliefed abit. If I move the arm or try lift it pain is worse.
Anyone here ever tore something and had pain like this? Could it be a torn rotator or could a labrum tear cause this extreme constant pain? Can it be swelling pushing on some nerves?
From my experience with athletes, it could be one of those. If the pain is that extreme, mobility is limited and weak when tested, it's more than likely a tear. It's just a matter of determining whether if it's grade 1,2 or 3. Grade 1 being a "strain" (strain still means tear) that can be rehabbed through PT, grade 2 means you can try rehab but more than likely surgery is needed or a 3 where surgery is unavoidable. Bottom line, get your butt to an Ortho that specializes in sports injuries ASAP.
