I had a shoulder surgery bankart repair in 2012 arthroscopic surgery, was all fine till now good strength. But to my bad luck few weeks ago I again had a shoulder dislocated even after surgery. Can this occur again? Doc said to be in sling and do physiotherapy. Pls experts need your suggestion in my situation:(
Best explanation of how and why we have the pain from impingement. Thanks.
I have a dislocated shoulder for years no pain at all, but theres a bump on my shoulder for some reason. Anyone know why?
I like it. A doctor who doesn’t want to do surgery:) It’s refreshing.
Last time I saw this guy was in 77, banging the shit outta Desiree Costeau!
I can lift weights fine after being injured about 2 months ago. I mean I couldn’t for about 2 weeks but like the left the side my body has gotten smaller. Like my shoulder isn’t as rounded. My tricep and bicep look flatter. My left pec seems flatter. But I can still lift and have range of motion with some pain in very few lifts but the pain is the least of my concern it’s more the fact of if muscle atrophy is permanent or not? Anyone else have answers???
well i liked the video but i was really expecting you to show moves about how to make it feel better…. but thanks for it though.
Damn you idiot. Talking about your “amazing” life on a boat didn’t give me any information. U suck��
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!
I injured my shoulder yesterday, and today I have cheer practice. This is our last practice before a competition which is in two days! I don’t want them to take me out of tumbling, what do I do?!
Just one question doctor. In the case of successful cuff repair where stitches attaching a torn tendon back to the bone, is there any significant natural repair that usually follows or is the the mechanical repair permanently relied on? Thank you.
सर… कम्प्लीट टीअर को बिना सर्जरी के ठीक किया जा सकता है क्या?.. 37 एमएम गैप है… || दाहिने कँधे में.
I built muscle to compensate but the torn one is still there and still hurts after 2 years
I have a rotar cuff injury I can do everything but masturbate wtf. Who knows how to fix this issue? ������ I may need surgery
i have been lifting heavy weights and i think my form was not good and now my left shoulder cracks about 2-4 times when i try to put my back straight.. what can i do.. the pain can sometimes go all the way down the left side of my back
Everyday I do 20 fist push ups and my right shoulder is painful ��
If the studies show that I have the supraspinatus tendon broken by 1cm of the rotator cuff, is it possible that It can be healed with therapies and exercises? or I should necessary have a surgery?
How about musicians? I have a terrible pain on my shoulder and it has all the characteristics of this, but i cant explain how or what is causing it ��
I’ve had aching pain in my rotator cuff and have had issues raising my arm above my head without feeling tension and almost like it’ll pull out of socket. It’s been like this since I was 12 or 13. I’m 20 now. I play drums for my church and tend to have pain surrounding that. Plus I was in law enforcement and got into several fights during that. Going to my dr for it soon.
by the time you see the exercise parts in the video, your shoulder injury should probably healed already
last month i had complete shoulder ligament trear, and doctors suggested surgery, can my problem can be treated without surgery? i cant lift my arm. please reply
hearing surgery makes me woosie. its my job that made this happen
I have a partial tear but my lat muscle is always swollen and sore it’s been three months now and has not shown any signs of healing. Hard to get any sleep without heavy medication. The doctor said that the lat was swollen by over compensating I was wondering if it could be something else since it bothers me more than the partial tear
Update now upper arm / shoulder much better though a lil far from normal. Finally told my provider ( actually a NP almost like a PA ) she sent me to get x ray and found a lil piece of bone loose rubbing tendons and arthritis. She asked if I wanted to see specialist I said no wait it out. I told her I’ll rehab / exercise it lifted light weights pushed it hard to get better. I just returned back to work not too bad. I do manual labor.

i have bilateral tears of the supraspinatus tendons in both shoulders consistent with a ski fall. 10 mm by 20 mm.. Can you advice a strenthening exercise for this? I have been advised to have cortisone injection into the subacromial bursa bilaterally in both shoulders at $800 a pop. What do you think?
I broke my collarbone in 2 places 10 year ago. Had surgery for that, but always been in pain. Eventually couple years ago found I’d torn the Supraspinatus tendon thru the middle, length ways. Had PRP which did nothing, but being in uk they had to do it in theatre, under operation conditions. Looks like you can get it done in a Doctors office in usa. Now on waiting list for more surgery. Cant even lift a jar of coffee with left arm now.
Thank you Doctor for this excellent video. My injury has improved non-operative at 60yo over about 10 months. 26 years of performing massage therapy has taken a toll on my body.
Update 5.16.19 Two months later I am still improving and was just reminded that I am experiencing significant improvement since I posted the above comment. It sure did not feel that way initially. Rest,Ice,Compression and Elevation were my friends.
Was boxing with a friend n I guess I swung dirty or something shit hurts bad worse on left but still cnt even lift shit barley n I’m pretty strong now I have no strength
