Shoulder Pain!!! HElp

[grav1]

hi the other day i woke with my pain on my shoulder i guess i sleep in a wrong position i have not done any weight lifting or any type of work out to wake up with that pain.. at first it was bearable i stretched out thinking that the pain would go away but it has now gotten worse. the next day i woke up with an unbearable pain on my shoulder deltoin and clavical. i cannot move my arm above my shoulder or raise them to the sides at 60 DEgrees... i have applyed heating pads or when i take a hot shower the pain relieves temporary and am able to do small stretches but then the pain comes again intense need help any ?/???

recently had a similar experience. had trouble sleeping thru the night. pain was the worst when trying to lift 35-45 blocks above shoulder level. turns out i had torn my rotator cuff completely thru the supraspinatus AND the infraspinatus. also had a SLAP tear on my labrum. i'm 12 weeks post-op, and it sucks! i would suggest you see a doctor and get a refferal to an orthopaedic sugeon. not what you want to hear, but needs to be looked at.

anyone ever had trouble getting their bench back to a normal max after having rotator cuff/ labrum repair surgery? had my surgery 12 weeks ago today, and my physical therapist is telling me i'll probably never use a barbell to bench with again. i'm sure i'll get a good workout with dumbbells, but my likes the heavy barbells!

I found the site slaptear.com which is dedicated to shoulder injuries. I think the guy that runs it is prettty active again. I'd ask there...
