If the interwebs are right, I somehow have a rotator cuff tear in my left shoulder :( Will need to set up a doctor appt.

I have no idea how I have it. I just know I have had it a couple weeks. I can use my arm but can only life my arm up to about a 60 degree angle. I can carry light things but heavier things giving me a shooting pain.

You really should have watched your pitch count. -- nm - Dano Oct 7, 08:41
I've been dealing with one for the last couple of weeks or so. It's gotten much better with rest, thankfully. - Krusty Oct 7, 07:41 1

I had something similar a while back. Turned out not to be a tear, just an impingement. Home exercises and physio helped. - Beryllium Oct 7, 07:38 6

  - Get dry needling from a physio. It's what made it kind of go away for me. -- nm - Reagen Oct 7, 08:34 1
    - Is that a sarcasm thing? Can we get Kumail Nanjiani to demonstrate it? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 7, 09:49
  - These guys have a bunch of videos about it -- (link) - Beryllium Oct 7, 07:50 [youtube] 1
    - I love those guys. They really helped me with my piriformis issues. -- nm - Barynn Oct 7, 08:10
- I probably have something along these lines in my right shoulder. It manifests frequently enough during my workouts that I've noticed it -- nm - oblique Oct 7, 07:40
