Damn thing locks up and shooting pain follows down my right arm. It isn't like the torn rotator pain from last year. This time I can't raise my arm over my head until i roll it around a bit....dislocation? Sometimes i don't even have to be using it for it to happen...ideas? |

spastic tonsils? athlete's foot? anal warts? j/k - sounds like 'Frozen Shoulder' Symptoms: Frozen shoulder typically develops slowly, and in three stages. Each of these stages can last a number of months. Painful stage. During this stage, pain occurs with any movement of your shoulder, and your shoulder's range of motion starts to become limited. Frozen stage. Pain may begin to diminish during this stage. However, your shoulder becomes stiffer, and your range of motion decreases notably. Thawing stage. During the thawing stage, the range of motion in your shoulder begins to improve. For some people, the pain worsens at night, sometimes disrupting normal sleep patterns. Cause: The bones, ligaments and tendons that make up your shoulder joint are encased in a capsule of connective tissue. Frozen shoulder occurs when this capsule thickens and tightens around the shoulder joint, restricting its movement. Doctors aren't sure why this happens to some people and not to others, although it's more likely to occur in people who have recently experienced prolonged immobilization of their shoulder, such as after surgery or an arm fracture. Risk Factors (excluding age, sex, disease): Immobility or reduced mobility People who have experienced prolonged immobility or reduced mobility of their shoulder are at higher risk of developing frozen shoulder. Immobility may be the result of many factors, including: Rotator cuff injury Broken arm Stroke Recovery from surgery |

if it is Frozen Shoulder: Treatment/Drugs: Most frozen shoulder treatment involves controlling shoulder pain and preserving as much range of motion in the shoulder as possible. Medications Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as aspirin and ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others), can help reduce pain and inflammation associated with frozen shoulder. In some cases, your doctor may prescribe stronger pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory drugs. Therapy A physical therapist can teach you stretching exercises to help maintain as much mobility in your shoulder as possible. Surgical and other procedures Most frozen shoulders get better on their own within 12 to 18 months. For persistent symptoms, your doctor may suggest: Steroid injections. Injecting corticosteroids into your shoulder joint may help decrease pain and improve shoulder mobility. Joint distension. Injecting sterile water into the joint capsule can help stretch the tissue and make it easier to move the joint. Shoulder manipulation. In this procedure, you receive a general anesthetic so you'll be unconscious and feel no pain. Then the doctor moves your shoulder joint in different directions, to help loosen the tightened tissue. Depending on the amount of force used, this procedure can cause bone fractures. Surgery. If nothing else has helped, you may be a candidate for surgery to remove scar tissue and adhesions from inside your shoulder joint. Doctors usually perform this surgery arthroscopically, with lighted, tubular instruments inserted through small incisions around your joint. |

Thanks mon frere! the only thing that concerns me is my range of motion is fine until it happens, then i can't raise my arm without considerable pain. once i roll it a few times and it feels like it is snapping back into place, the pain is gone and i can move it again no problem.... |

I'm thinking labrum is torn. kinda like how if you have menicus torn in knee and the flap moves and prevent movement, but then gets pushed down back into place. that's my SWAG. If it is, that gonna suck :( When you go for MRI? |

Results are in....no surgery, yet. He said it doesn't look like in any danger of tearing but what he thinks it is doing is sliding off the groove in the shoulder which causes the pain and instability. It is something he can repair but he said if I can tolerate the pain and it isn't affecting my regular life then to just leave it. I asked what the worst that would happen and he said the bicep can collapse and that is a simple fix. I was in the gym last night and it only slid over once and I rolled it right back into place and was good to go! I did coerce a tap out with my bionic penis....but that is a story for another time...May all your children be beautiful and none of them mine! |

I asked what the worst that would happen and he said the bicep can collapse and that is a simple fix. "...he said if I can tolerate the pain and it isn't affecting my regular life then to just leave it." I not a doctor, but.....does he understand your hobby of grappo? yes you can get away with a surprising amount of shit, especially if sedentary, which you aren't. Gnome sayin'? "He said it doesn't look like in any danger of tearing but what he thinks it is doing is sliding off the groove in the shoulder which causes the pain and instability." Again not a doc, but....instability is the problem in the grappo and I would think make you more susceptible to tearing. All that said, if you are determined to rehab and then strengthen it through the range of motion I can recommend using things like clubbells and kettlebells (after rehab), which make you learn to move it and strenghten it at all kinda motions and angles. I had my labrum all fucked up for over a decade and basically made everything around it strong enough and developed hyper vigilance/tension in the musculature to hold it together most of the time and I learned to move around the injury. But in retrospect, I shoulda got it fixed much sooner rather than wait 'til I was 42y.o. when shit gets harder to deal with. As it is it's been 15mos and I'm pretty well off ~85% good, but I'm still dealing with mostly being very gun-shy in certain things and in training. So I say, if you can get it done with as short a healing time possible do it, rather than risk something happening in training making it worse and recovering from repairs longer. |

Thanks friend. I will consider the surgery but really hate the idea of letting someone put me unconcious to probe me with sharp objects. Excellent advice though, I will do some drinking on the subject... |
