Terrible Pain

[RustyTromboneMan]

I have had what I thought was a rotator cuff problem for the last couple of years. My Dr sent me to an ortho when it first started hurting and he diagnosed it as a slight tear in the rotator cuff. After laying off it for about 5 months I began to work out again. It started to hurt just like it did before I rested it. It was on and off pain for the next year. I went to an A.R.T. Dr and that helped for a little while but now the pain is starting to come back.

What I am starting to become curious about, is if it is my shoulder that is messed up. Im obviously not a Dr and dont know shit about this but lately the pain is mostly in my entire arm rather than my shoulder. I was curious to hear from anybody who has gone through this. An example of how I feel would be to say that my bicep and tricep feels extremely tight as if it needs to be stretched out. My fingers almost feel numb sometimes. I just wanted to know if anybody knew what the fuck was going on with my body

sounds like a pinched nerve in your shoulder...

But I dont know..

Sounds like it could possibly be tendonitus that keeps getting inflamed when you workout or a pinched nerve like Twitched said.
Don't screw around with it bro. Get it checked out by a Sports Medicine doc, have an MRI done, whatever. Find out what's going on in there soon & get it fixed. Just my .02

I can tell you from a medical opinion that you more than likley have a bad impingement and a possible rotator cuff tear. We operate on people for this all day long, and if you are lucky, you will only have a impingement which can easily be taken care of by having an arthroscopic decompression. Good luck and let me know if you have any more questions, but the arm pain is a classic symptom for this.
