Shoulder Pain

[GlockOwner]

I hurt my shoulder this past Christmas while doing some wide grip pull ups. It hurt for several months, then, about mid May, I finally felt comfortable doing workouts again. About a week ago, it started hurting again like I had just injured it. (can't pinpoint what exactly I did to hurt it this time). Based on the placement of the pain, it seems to be rotator cuff. So my questions are:

1. How soon can I begin to rehab it, assuming it is just a stress strain? a pull? a tear?

2. What are some good rehab exercises?

3. How long does it take for these kinds of things to heal?

4. I don't have insurance and going to the hospital is way out of my budget, but I might be able to afford a clinic like Care Now or something. Problem is, they only have x-rays, no MRI or other imaging. Would an x-ray be able to determine the severity of the injury?

(I know you guys can't diagnose me or anything, and the best thing to do is actually have a doctor look at it, I'm just looking for general info)

I typically do my best to ignore things like that and hope it works out.

Stay off of it until it's working OK again. You'll probably be doing enough with the other muscle groups to keep it in OK shape until it heals. Otherwise, go to a sports physician (and pay, probably a lot). Lots of knowledgeable people on the internet, but figuring out which ones are right is impossible. Basically what Younggun said.

lol, that is my philosophy on most "injuries"

Probably going to end up waiting it out again, and just not put so much stress on it in my future workouts once I can start them again

You probably need surgery.

This. Ease back into the activities that caused the injury.

I heard shoulder pain usually leads to death. You may just wanna cut off your shoulder area.

With a chain saw.

finally some REAL advice! but a chainsaw might be a little messy....and I was a LOT messy! Who's down to wrap my arm in tannerite and take the shot?

Just let me shoot you in the thumb with the RIA. Your arm will just fall off.

I'm not much of a Betty Homemaker. Not into Tupperware.

A new study shows that 10 out of 10 people who drink water die.

I've got some shotgun slugs I've been wanting to test out.

Only people with the name like Betty Homemaker use outdated tools like a 1911. so you must be more Betty homemaker than you though. Let's not get on the age conversation again, you lose that battle. lol

That's because it contains di-hydrogen monoxide.

shotguns are only for warning shots in the air, you really need to keep up with federal laws!

 

[Shotgun Jeremy]

Well I'll give you a couple warning shots into your shoulder and then we'll get to work with chainsaws and flairs.

Tried and true. Not outdated. Mention my age again and I'm gonna head South looking for ya.

I know about shoulder pain. Doc told me I have "Frozen Shoulder" (Adhesive Capsulitis) It was in the front near my collarbone & I got a shot to loosen it up. But, now it seems to be in the back, in my shoulder blade. It has been bugging me all day. Hubby told me "You look like you're not having fun" when we were out today. He said I had a frown.
