Rotator cuff tear

[boogersnax]

Well, I did it...tore my rotator cuff in my left shoulder on a bench press machine 2 Saturdays ago...DAMN! Surgery scheduled for 7/18. I was having such a good day lifting too!

Phuck me dry.

The ortho-pod told me about 5 weeks in a sling and several months rehab.

I guess my legs will be getting a lot of attention for a while.

Wish me luck Bros. Pray for a fast recovery.

PEACE

That sucks bro, sorry to hear. I had the same shit with my left shoulder..took off about 2 years and it still hurts when i bench now. Just continue the exercises your PT gives you and you'll heal a lot quicker. I still do them after about 3 years of the injury.

Sorry bout your injury bro, I am a PT and dapit26 is right, the rehab process is VERY important to the long term success and recovery from your injury and you will have to start with baby steps, so be patient...if you need any advice or info on the rehab once it begins feel free to email me at [email protected]

I have had 2 torn labrum's. Both shoulders. DO THE PT STUFF FOREVER. Keep your rotator cuff's strong. My first surgery was like 13 years ago. Last one was two years ago. "boosted" my recovery and surprised the shit out of my pt!

Good luck....

There was 2 that I tore but I don't have a copy of the MRI report. I know that I messed up the bursa on top of the shoulder and of course, fluid.

I'll get a copy this coming Monday.

what exact motion did you do to tear the muscle in the bench press? (Was there something you did specifically)?

Hope you get better soon. Has to stink

the four muscles of the rotator cuff are the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, subscapularis and teres minor. Not that it matters but I'm just curious to know which they are. rotator cuff can be fairly delicate but is important for holding your shoulder together.
