Help, I Need Surgery!!!!

[big_bad_buff]

well, i tore my rotator cuff & cracked my shoulder blade about 8 years ago playing baseball, i recovered some what after a few years, and was doing very well lifting and gaining weight, well about 4 months ago i woke up one morning and with my wonderful luck, my shoulder was in incredible pain, so i didn't workout for a week or so, thinking it would go away, and it did, except for when doing exercises that puts stress on my front delt. 5 months ago i was benching close to 400 pounds, and now cannot get above 225 without eye watering pain in my shoulder, i can go around this, and have been by using heavy dumbbells and machines that have controlled movements when working anything that would put stress on my front delt. but i decided i really need to look into surgery......(there is always a but) BUT i have no insurance, is there any way to get this paid for? i just moved and have no job yet, but will be attending school next semester...does anyone have any good advice???

Welcome to my world Hill.

Same goes for me on certian exercises. Best thing is to try to rehab it... I need surgery on my shoulder too (Two terrible dislocations), but I'm concerned the range of motion will be greatly reduced.

If you need surgery, you need it. Bottom line, no point in skirting around it. But if it is something that can be treated through proper therapy... do the proper rotator cuff exercises (I can go through them if you want) to help get your shit back together.

Exercise 1 i can do about half that motion, and then my shoulder just wont move up any further.

I jacked my rotator hard at the beginning of the year. I had just hit 405 for the first time(barely), then pop. Now I can hardly do the empty bar without whining. But, I can press 5 plates on the hammer strength incline which is the only pressing movement I can do. Go figure.

I've been doing small rotator excerises regulary now as well as cleans on every back day. I think they're helping out.

Good luck

When you get to school go to the docotor. There should be some kind of cheap plan medical plan the school offers. If they don't go to the doctor. If you fractured your scapula you could have put stress back on it and re-fractured it. Or you could have tore a muscle or liagement. Either way you need to get it looked at. The shoulder is a very strong joint but it is not that stable. The Head of the humerous doesn't fit that tightly in the gleniod. It sits on the outside supported by nemours liagements and muscles. So any one of those could be injured. get it looked at to find out what is the matter first.
