Several weeks ago I heard a tearing sound in my right shoulder while bench pressing. No pain. Only very mild soreness afterwards
A couple of weeks later, hear another tearing sound in same shoulder while bench pressing. Again no pain. But muscle very sore that afternoon and next day. Can make arm lift only with great mental exertion.
Can't press a kettle bell with personal trainer. He directs me to get an MRI. Orthopedic surgeon checks me out. Complete range if motion. Very low pain. But fail strength test. He orders MRI with contrast.
Day before MRI results. Swing and row with kettle bells. No pain. No problems.
Findings: Major rotator cuff tear. Gotta have surgery or rest of muscles will eventually tear away.
Day after getting results. Arm staying close to body. The negliable ache is now a pain of concern. Psychosomatic symptoms.
Worked out like hell this afternoon. Feeling great. Shoulder feels fine.
Surgery scheduled for this coming Thursday.
