anybody here have torn rotator cuff

[TheAuthority]

surgery? going to have it early April can barely raise my right arm.

Partial tear a 2-3 weeks ago whilst sparring. Hurt like hell at first.

Recovering well though. Only hurts in certain positions now (overhead mainly). My physio seems to think surgery won't be required.

Hopefully, I'll be back in full training in the next 2-3 weeks.

Top tip ... don't neglect rotator cuff training ...

dam man sounds like it hurt bad?

At first when I completely tore a tendon it hurt alot. A doctor told me it was probably a sprain, so I took a couple months off and started playing again. I guess I contued to rip up everything over the next year. The thing was that when you get warmed up you don't feel as much and I had a high theshold to pain to start.
Before I got finally got surgery, when the surgeon looked at the MRI and told me how screwed up it was, I raised my arm over my head and said "I can still do this fine" he went and got two other surgeons in the room and told me to show them. LOL They were suprised by the what damage the MRI showed that someone could do this! I guess I was compensating with other muscles.
