This sounds like a rotator cuff injury. Rotator cuff tear of the shoulder causes pain and weakness at the joint. Complete rotator cuff tear results in inability to raise the arm away from the side under your own strength. This is usually injured due to excessive force like trying to catch a falling heavy object or lifting an extremely heavy object with an extended arm. Consult an orthopaedic surgeon for evaluation.
I then went on to have shoulder surery where they performed a rotator cuff repair, shaved down osteophites. They did not touch the labrium in hopes the rotator cuff repair would help allow the labrium to heal on its own. I have now been in PT for 3 months and developed sharp pain to my bicep and numbess and tingling down my arm into my hand. My hand turns pale and is cold to the touch. This happens with any raising of my arm above 45 degrees.
You do not have to injure yourself to mess up your shoulder. There are many things that could be causing your symptoms, such as arthritis, rotator cuff inflammation, rotator cuff tear, etc. You should really see a physician to have this xrayed and possibly have an MRI to check for inflammation and tearing. Hope this helps. Good luck.
Is the tendonitis in your Rotator Cuff? I ask this because Rotator Cuff Tedonitis is also commonly called Shoulder Tendonitis. Pain can be even more extreme when you sleep on the shoulder.
Again it's important to obtain proper treatment to avoid this becoming a Chronic Condition. I'd really consult a specialist. Please let us know how you are doing.
s a terrible thing to happen dear. It looks like you have a Partial Rotator cuff injury due to the force of injury.That is why you are able to lift it half way.
X-ray is must, but it will tell about the condition of the bone. To know about the muscle pathology, i would suggest you to do the MRI scan and then proceed to an Orthopaedician.
An MRI has shown I have a slight tare in my right rotator cuff. I went through 3 weeks of PT with no improvement last August. Arthoscopic surgery was scheduled for the first of October.
While waiting for the surgery date, I developed a chronic burning pain in the area of the middle of the left shoulder blade in late Sept.
Surgeon determined I should not do the surgery until the left arm was feeling better as surgery would have been on my dominent arm.
Shoulder impingement syndrome is a result of damage to rotator cuff. Rotator cuff is the muscles and tendons around the shoulder joint which enable the arm to move in all directions. This can occur in sports persons like in swimming, golf, over head arm movements and in rheumatoid arthritis.
It is difficult to say what it is until physical examination and x-rays are seen. It could be dislocation or a fracture or rotator cuff injury.
Consult a orthopedician for further assistance.
Best.

MRI showed torn biceps tendon and other small bursal tears and tendonitis, and a rotator cuff tear. Would a bone metastases have been revealed on the MRI of my arm and shoulder? Should I ask for a bone scan? I am 57 years old and have been cancer free since a stage 3 breast cancer diagnosis 8 years ago. I am worried that the pain does not go away.
Looking for advice in regards to my rotator cuff. I had a slow onset(appx 2 weeks)of shoulder pain that eventually led to a lot of pain and inability to elevate my arm above shoulder height. MRI shows supraspinatus partial tear and a labrum tear. 6 sessions of PT have not helped. My question is what has worked best for those with similar injuries. Cortisone? Arthroscopy? Thanks in advance.
Prominent tendinosis along the distal cuff - cuff refers to the rotator cuff. Distal means away from the center of the body, or in this instance from the center of the rotator cuff.
#2. Ill defined superior labral tear with a small paralabral cyst. Ill defined just means it isn't well defined or a clear tear.
You should at least get an xray of the shoulder, and a possible CT scan or MRI. If you did dislocate the shoulder at the time of your fall, you could have also injured the ligaments and tendons and that could be what is causing the pain and popping. You also could have a torn rotator cuff. If that is the case, depending on the size, location, etc., it may require a surgical repair.
Received a call from my latest surgeon informing me, (after a bone scan and an MRI last week) that I do INDEED have a torn rotator cuff. To make a long story short, went to family physician 2 years ago and was told that I just had bad arthritis in my shoulder. He treated me with steroid shots (more painful than childbirth.LOL) for a few times. Then he decided I had something more serious than arthritis and recommedned I go to an orthopedic surgeon, which I did.
They may also occur in association with rotator cuff tendonitis and tears. Oftentimes, however, the exact cause of the superior labral tear is not known.
Diagnosis A superior labral tear is diagnosed when a patient complains of clicking in the shoulder associated with vague pain the front or top of the shoulder. Physical exam techniques such as the crank test are used to support the diagnosis. An MRI may also reveal the tear.
