Oh thank God. I passed all three
Me, too!
unfortunatly not me completly
oh god same here, i passed all three and nothing to do with my rotator cuff, the relieve, i can share that with you my friend
Same bro I messed my shoulder up lifting took three ibuprofen and pitched 6 innings. Definitely not gonna throw for 2 weeks. Hope it stops making cracking and fluid noises now lol
@@tylerking6422 how you feelin now?
I failed all 3. I also failed the 4th test when my Dr told me I had a torn rotator cuff.
What happen from there?
@@evancarmello9226 My Dr recommended surgery. I did not want to do surgery so he had me perform a ton or rehab exercises. I couldn't really lift my arm for about 2 weeks. Even then it took about 2-3 months for me to regain normal mobility. This entire time I had pain in my shoulder. After about 6-7 months I started trying to do light workouts. I felt a small pain in my shoulder up until about 9 months. I will say at this point I don't feel any pain and use my shoulder like normal. Although, I don't think it's 100% or ever will be 100%. Maybe like 92-95%. I used to box but after my injury I can't seem to throw a jab for to many rounds without causing pain to my shoulder. Other than that I am able to use it for daily tasks and other activities with no problem.
Well you passed the sense of humor test 😂
But you succeeded in making me laugh. Well played Pedro. 👏👏👏
What an amazing service! This gentleman is a model for those desiring a career in the medical field.
😂
I have a rotator cuff tear and failed all three tests. Seems accurate 👌
Oh thank goodness, I passed all three tests! I hurt my shoulder yesterday and it still hurts quite a bit, but I could do all these things. I think I just strained a muscle. Thank you for this video, it really helped me get peace of mind! (However, I know the tests aren't conclusive so I'll continue keeping an eye on my shoulder until it's better).
fucking hell same, i thought that the dips i overdid gave me a rotator cuff tear (it's been hurting like a bitch for the past 2days)
Same
My motorcycle fell and I used left arm to stop / slow it from crashing to ground and now my shoulder is painful through some motions… but I can do these exercises 🙏🏼
On 2021, Thanksgiving day, I accidentally stepped in a metal dog food bowl, and I fractured my right ankle. When I fell, I landed on my left shoulder, and I've been living with pain ever since. After watching your video, I now know why I'm having a lot of pain when I put my pants on, grabbing the seat belt or scratching my back. Thank you for your video!!
I broke my elbow....ALSO because of a Dog lol. My own! Innocent walking him.
Passed all the tests with ease so this is giving me some hope but my shoulder is clicking a lot when I lift my arm above my head and I feel discomfort in my shoulder when I do other motions sometimes.
I saw some comments from other people that didn't pass these tests. I wish them the best and to look forward to their recovery. The more focused u r on physical therapy and everything the doctors tell u to do, the faster u get better. Don't let anyone tell u "u can't do it." Listening to them will only hurt u.
Hey,
I'm in the same situation as you are. I passed these tests, but shoulder keeps popping. How are you doing, did you resolve your issue or found out what the problem was?
Andreas Barstad my shoulder's been a little awkward but it doesn't click as much or hurt anymore. Kinda had to step back from workouts for a bit. It sorta stopped after a week and a half. I can do push-ups normally now and chin-ups. If it persists beyond 2 weeks, definitely call ur physician up for a referral to an orthopedic.
@@animangafan342 update please
It‘s probably related to a dysbalance in your front delt and rear delt, as well as chest muscle and lower trapezius. If you don‘t have optimal posture, focus on training low traps as well as rear delts and rotator cuff (face pulls) to strengthen external rotation. This will pull your shoulders back and down over time, and help with cracking, mobility and tendon health
@@asura1877take my like thank you!
I passed all tests but had slight pain in the outside of my upper arm after, I fell and broke my collarbone 3 days ago so I'm praying I just stretched a muscle
What a relief, all 3 tests seem fine. I am thinking it’s a pinched nerve. Excellent video -thank you for doing such great work on it.
My pain and weakness is lower from the shoulder, but still in the area thingy. Kinda. But no pain during tests. I seemed to have hurt it over time, doing heavy triceps with a pulley. So ya, not up to my shoulder, but lower. Any idea ?
Awesome video. To the point and explained professionally. Thank you.
Thank you I passed but barely so I am resting it and not belly dancing as I already have a mild spinal cord injury and have to say I live in chronic pain but this shoulder pain has taken me DOWN. I am healing this now
I’m 50 years old and very active in the gym. I did a 5000 pull up challenge about 5 months ago and I haven’t recovered from it since. I have lost shoulder strength on side and front raises. I have very limited cross body movement without having sever pain. I also get a fiery feeling running down my arm with any cross body motion. I’ve had a few cortisone injection many years ago but so far I haven’t been able to recover from this injury.
I have learned that as we age, the muscle strength may be there but the other parts like tendons and ligaments that accompany the muscle, may not be able to hold up their side.
How many did you get to
I’m 76 and I lifted a heavy plant pot about 2 weeks ago and I’m in severe pain in both shoulders and down my arms,I’m also waiting endlessly for 2 shoulder replacements
@@juicepaid1614 he's joking
@@Ihfmpw8 any better?
This is so informative. I have had severe neck and shoulder pain for the past year.
I had an epidural in my neck recently and it didn't last but a few days.
The doctor assumed my shoulder pain was directly related to my neck pain.
I had a follow up and let him know that I can no longer sleep due to my shoulder pain.
I can't sleep on the opposite side either, because it feels like someone is pulling my arm out of the socket.
He did a few of the tests that are in this video and I couldn't follow through on any of these.
The only different test he did was to have me lift my arm straight up and I can do that.
I'm seeing an orthopedic doctor on Monday, and until then I just can't sleep.
I really wish I would have seen this earlier because it really helped me realize I definitely have something wrong with my rotator cuff.
Very appreciative of good caring doctors ❤
I too can pass these three tests but cannot lift my arm up straight in front of me or up toward the ceiling I heard it a week ago and I I'm not able to work my job so I will give it this week and maybe next week hopefully the doctor will give me some physical therapy maybe it's not a total cuff tear
The first time I have ever seen this doctor and I'm totally in love such a calm demeanor. I wish you were nearby in Houston Texas you would be my doctor
So appreciative of the video. About 7 yrs ago I failed the third test and had right shldr rotator cuff repair. Then about 5 months ago, my left shoulder started up but not the same way. The video’s second test (45 deg thumb down etc.) confirmed my suspicions. As a result, now getting a workup for repair with the same surgeon of 7 yrs ago. Things wear out over 7 decades.
Thank you for the very helpful information doc! You mentioned the free 15 min consultation and I considered calling but then realized this was UA-cam and you could be located anywhere! Turns out you are just a stones throw from my original hometown of Michigan City, IN... way cool. I live in Kansas now so not going to call but thanks for the quick test and short stroll down memory lane... Laporte, Valpo, MC, good memories.
Thank you for this information! I am unable to test my shoulder at this time. I will be watching this again and checking my shoulder.
I couldnt do any of those movements without pain. Been painful going on 3 months now. Wearing a shoulder brace feel much better. May have to see my doctor. Thank you for your help!
The first 2 were not bad, but the behind the back had soreness. I was confirmed rotater cuff tear with an MRI. I been living with mild to moderate pain for years. I still lift at the gym. My affected shoulder has about 85 percent strength compared to my other. I may finally get that surgery
Hello Dr. I just watched your video on torn rotator cuff. My opinion I failed test 1and 3. It’s been over 5-6 days I’ve had pain in my shoulder now
Thank you for these easy tests.
I had serious pain both sides for years just folding my arms was extremely painful. I tried stretching and exercise that helped a little but the best for me is the speed bag. Now I'm easing a little into weight lifting.
Excellent presentation.
I DID NOT PASS ANY OF YOUR TESTS I BEEN LIFTING 10 POUND DUMBELLS 1 ARM AT A TIME THEN THOUGHT I CAN DO BOTH ARMS BUT AS A COUPLE DAYS WENT BY I COULDENT LIFT MY RIGHT ARM WITH ALL THE PAIN FROM MY SHOULDER TO MY ELBOW .CAN I GET A 15 MIN SESSION WITH YOU .THANK YOU .
I have shoulder pain too,
but thanks God,
I passed these three tests!
Thanks for the quickie diagnostic. I'm able to do all the motions and while it clicks and hurts a little, it's not severe. Just enough that my arm is saying "hey maybe don't do that right now." I'll give that arm a rest for a week and see if I've got improvement, and if not it's time to talk to my old physio again (last time it was a frozen trapezoid on that same arm. Doh.)
I’ve had these for about 5 months and my shoulder has popped out about 5 times, I’ve popped it in all five times myself without sharp pains
Excellent knowledge and resource. The third test got me, moving my hand away from the lower back is possible, but causes pain.
Number 2 I can't even lift my arm. Seen physio today he's confident I've got a tear
OMG same here. I guess I have to get it checked out.
If U need rotator cuff surgery, make sure U listen to everything accurately that Ur Dr tells U to do & especially what not to do. U can only have surgery ONCE on a rotator cuff & then it will be the best it will be. Good Luck
@@janethompson2305 i broke proximal humerous 5 weeks ago went to maybe get sling off this week to be told its not healed at all in fact looks in a worse place.. another 7 weeks in the sling and then ill find out if i need surgery.. the physio is so hard number 2 on here i can barely get my hand 6 inches from my hip do u think thats the cuff buggared?
I have severely failed all three I can’t get this pain to stop and thought maybe it was just sore and would stop but it’s been constant all day and I can’t take it anymore
Are you any better now?
@@JohnBrown-sn3kh nah she dead
RIP Rebecca
In the 3rd step, i heard a crack in my shoulder, and I'm now feeling better, and i can stretch my left arms to my to my opposite shoulder blade. Thank you
I have moderate to severe just thinking about trying any of these tests. Going for MRI this afternoon.
Thank you SO much for sharing this video. I’ve been struggling with a shoulder injury for a while and this video has helped me (hopefully) diagnose the problem. Question: with test 3, lifting the hand above the lower back, which particular rotator cuff muscles are responsible for this movement? I couldn’t lift my right hand at all. No pain, but no movement at all.
It’s probably flexibility affecting that. As long as you’re putting effort through the muscles and not feeling pain, you should* be good.
@@showalterlifts2020 I’m (slightly) hyper mobile, athletic and very flexible, so that wasn’t the issue, but thank you for your input :) The loss of strength in the subscapularis muscle has now been confirmed by further physio tests and is (likely) caused by thoracic outlet syndrome.
Thank you for an informative presentation. My search for an answer continues.
Very good video, thank you. I have trouble with your first exercise in my dominant left arm. I have trouble lifting things, taking off a jacket and esp trying to make a bank deposit going through the drive trough! I have been trying every exercise and stretching which helps a little but not really. I'm terrified of having surgery but am coming to the conclusion I really need to get it checked out or just live with it. I'm 54 year old male.
only wet cupping cures it because oxygen and food goes there to cure it
The reference is me may be for the first time in the world. After 7 months of useless pills and cortizon injection and a lot of pain I went to the person making wet cupping and "ordered" him to place 3 cups to my shoulder to take the dirty blood and after 5 days I was completely cured thanks to God. ( I found out this by comparing with my leg. I had the same problem but the tear was cured because I was walking but in my shoulder I had no such chance. So only wet cupping cures it because oxygen and food goes there to cure it in this way.
Not one cup like the one in this video but three cups next to each other on the same region ua-cam.com/video/4UKzyhKnnBs/v-deo.html
simple logic! the tear needs oxygen and food to be cured and the only way is to take the dirty blood and send fresh blood with oxygen and food. there are no studies because YOU have to suffer from it so as to FIND the solution.
What will happen when u have in pigment in and u are always in pain and can’t get surgery
Soory, I did not understand what you exactly mean.
@sonastanibrook It's not bad to have the surgery & it's even better today than 10 yrs ago. Don't get out of control nervous & worrying, Ur going to be alright. Everything is a process & just take one day at a time. Good Luck & God bless to everyone here w/shoulder issues🙏🤲
@hitturkey24 Tiffany means "impingement", but somehow there R spaces in between some letters
These tests actually felt good.
Thank you! I’m going to get in touch with you very soon!
Okay, I failed #1 and thought #3 was going to be okay....until the pain hit. I already knew I had torn it. It's much stronger now than it used to be because I work out much harder. For about 2 years it would POP audibly when I would shift my weight or even just lift my weight off my arm. I screamed out loud more than once just from moving my arm. Luckily through weight lifting, resistance bands and pushups I've regained a great deal of use, but this just confirmed that I need to see my doctor. I don't think rehab is going to work for me. I'm pretty sure I have surgery in my future....
I have same issues. When I lift my L arm I feel a clunking followed by severe pain, or if I turn steering wheel in my truck, it can be very painful. Sometimes it’s not as bad - just uncomfortable. Feels also like a bone spur in humerous is affecting the muscle/tendon when I move it (clunking sound). I’ve had it for 10 years - did PT, gym exercises, stretching or hanging from bar, which helped recently - but pain/discomfort and weakness always returns. Totally sucks as recovery is 3-6 months after surgery - 3 months in sling.
Thanks my injury l arm is from playing pickleball every day for hours. Injury not severe but feel constant ache in center rotator cuff joint … now in 6th day of rest and doing stretches and sliding arm up a wall. Thx for your video !!!
Well this is just great. I literally can’t lift my arm at all to do any of these tests.
Not good- how well did you heal?
Well damn lol. I’ve been having pain for about 6 weeks now, originally thought I just slept on it wrong but the pain’s only gotten worse. I failed all 3 tests, the last one miserably . Whelp, good thing I’m finally seeing my GP in 3 days to have it checked.
I dislocated mine 8 days ago. Managed to reset it myself. I passed this test. Just having so odd pain.
Very helpful! Clear and concise. Thank you!
Great video. Thanks
This was very helpful. Thank you so much.
2 out of 3 of those I can't without severe pain and that's 1 and 3. An now my shoulder is radiating pain up and down. Screwing in a light bulb hurts let alone holding my phone. Going to talk w a dr. Thanks
Thank God , i dont have any of these symptoms . Its just that after 3 weeks of gym , my right shoulder begin to click any bone inside (idk) , when i lift any dumbell or use any shoulder machine
@Muhammad Saad Bhatti so isko treat ksay krna hy ?
Thanks for being brief & direct. I didn't pass any of them. Now what? Is surgery the only answer? I really struggle doing my job.
Very informative video, i'm unable to do any of these arm raises. I've had constant pain for over a month now. I see an orthopedic physician on Tuesday. Hopefully, I can get back to where I was before my fall. Thank you.
Hyy did u have to got your arm from surgery?
@@yashhailive9846 I didn't need to have surgery. It took 10 months but the muscle healed naturally. I have full use of my arm again and now work out to keep it healthy.
@@Davedio so what was your injury about rotator cuff tear or what?
@@yashhailive9846 it was a tear, a small one but it left me basically one-armed. The doctor said it would heal over a year, or I could have surgery and still need 6 months before it was healthy. I opted out of the surgery, and by the 10th month I was back to normal. But I couldn't really use my right arm for half a year. I became ambidextrous as a result. Now I can throw and even write with either arm. Weird.
@@Davedio actually im suffering from shoulder pain as i do gym from last 3 months i has no recovered yet i think its a surgery thing . But as u know if i go from surgery i can never go to gym again as my arm will never be like what it was before injury
After I tried the 1st test, it was a bit painful (mild shock with mild pain), but 2nd test was good. While 3rd test was a bit painful ( mild shock with mild pain)
Thank-you for the video. Very useful.
i cant do the 3rd test well experiencing abit of pain doing that :( i suspect a rotator cuff tear hurts alot when i sleep also even not on the injured side.
I fell face forward and caught myself with an outstretched arm about a month ago. I can’t get an MRI due to COVID19 so I’ve just been dealing with it with ibuprofen, ice and a tens unit wondering what I’ve actually done. The first 2 tests I failed miserably and the last one I couldn’t do bc I cannot put my hand, on the affected side, behind my back without pain (didn’t even try lifting my hand with my other hand) so I’m pretty sure I’ve torn the rotator cuff. I did tests for the SLAP tear as well as biceps tendon tear and could tell neither was what I’m dealing with. Your tests likely nailed it just have to suffer until this pandemic passes.
Yes brother just tore mine today. I Have been weary of heading to the hospital aswell.
i bought KT TAPE & so far it's working. I hope to GOD I didn't tear this shoulder. I'm poor & the only thing that hurts is that the thumb behind the back :(
I can't even do any of those tests because it hurts so much. No injury like falling to cause this. It gradually started off as numbness and tingling in hand with mild shoulder pain. Now, I can't raise my arm up or put on a jacket without help. Xray is normal but I have to see a Physical therapist before an MRI if needed.
I’m here because my bedside lamp switch was behind me and I wrenched my shoulder turning it off/on. Bugger it!
I saw my Dr who said this is what she suspects and booked me in for an ultrasound. I hope it’s a strain and not a tear.
That last test was hard and had some discomfort. If it’s not torn, how do I make it better?
U need to see Ur Dr & he or she will send U to Physical Therapy. Everyone's length of PT is different so don't give up. U will get better & everything needs time & patience. God bless 🙌
I passed all tests (no pain) EXCEPT during the thumbs-up test when my arm is about 45-30° from my side. Lowering my arm is painful and causes unpleasant crunkling (crunch/crackle) sensations. Raising my arm from my side is too painful to go above 45°. I can go from 90° up and lower back down to 90° no issue, though.
So probably not rotator cuff, but still no closer to figuring it out
Hey everyone! Another good test is to do the 3rd test in this video while lying down on the ground and have your arms around your back as if you are being arrested. Then relax and let the shoulders just flop, by which I mean just let go of any muscle contractions. My left shoulder is great but my right shoulder, after doing that test I just said, hurts! It's a real sharp pain from the rear part. But it hasn't effected my performance in the gym with the bench press exercise... but the pain is there when I lie down into that position
How'd it go?
well I guess I torn my rotator cuff. thanks a lot skateboarding.
Me too...I should have committed to that rock to fakie😔
Bruhhh same woulda been the last injury I expected skating
Yea buddy still have my shit fucked up can't throw a footbal or fight anymore gg self defense. Skated all my life 1 fall killed me 😭
Ikr. I was a gymnast as a kid and my shoulders are so bad
Same reason I’m here lol
At 4:00am my husband was in the bathroom when I heard heard a loud crack and sounds of severe pain. He complains of extreme discomfort in his left shoulder. I gave him a 50mg tramadol and three Heal-n-SOOTHE capsules (normal dose). He is still in extreme pain and I have now rubbed Australian honey bee venom on his whole shoulder area including the arm pit. Age 70. Difficulty moving. Suggestions welcome. TYIA
Yeah I can't do any of these. I tore my RC in 2003 surgery in 2004 and then on Thursday i messed it up walking down my steps. im 99% sure i retore it. waiting for an MRI to be scheduled. :( im in agony
Failed . Mine tore in my sleep lol . Not sure of the lol because this pain is 🤪 . I wish you all a speedy recovery 💙
Just the one off to the side. And it's a medium pain. Not a pain that is severe, but it's a nuisance that I feel every time I attempt it smh.
Was it a tear? This is the same as me
I passed all three. I somewhat suspect it's just really bad tension and stress from work. Doing the same movements
I went to the doctor a couple months ago after experiencing extreme pain during volleyball season. They sent me to physical therapy till I was released after 2 sessions being told I was fine and nothing was wrong with me. I have had shoulder pain on and of until earlier this week it was so bad I couldn't move it at all and it felt swollen and I thought I had just slept on it wrong. The pain has been here all week and I just failed all of those test and couldn't even complete the second one
hope you are doing well mate
I am able to pass all these tests without any pain but my shoulder pops whenever I extend it or move it what is the problem?
Kevin Same I’m in Boxing and I’m not in pain, but when I try to do a left hook my shoulder feels lose, and I can move my shoulder joint around it feels like 2 things are rubbing between my joints. One time it popped out and I was in pain for about 6 seconds but then it went back to normal
Your shoulders pop because you need to do more mobility exercises
Koop Stoop watch athlean x video and that popping sound will be gone its because your shoulder is rolled foreward . also do shoulder dislocation excersice with a broom stick and not a band or something
I passed. Thank goodness for a man who overthinks I can sleep good
I just lost sleep watching this video....i havent been able to do neither of the arm raises. I do have an mri comming up, im hoping its just a really bad shoulder sprain. very good video and informative.
Francisco Lynch how are ya how?

Thank you for sharing this. This is very helpful.
i just failed all of these tests with major pain in my arm and shoulder. cant even lift it above my head without hearing popping or cracking sounds
I failed them too. I've been in physical therapy for two weeks. I'm praying I can avoid surgery.
Just failed all three also
Finally having my first xray and ultrasound on Thursday
u have Spraspinatus tendon ,rest the shoulder
@@sportsfield9788 my shoulder hurts in sideways movement majorly. I failed #3 Is it frozen shoulder or rotator cuff?
Well, that's me cooked good for the foreseeable future. I failed all 3.
Thanks for the video 👍.
I'd give you a Hi-5 - o/* but that would mess me up for an hour or so. ;)
After an mri that ruled out any rotator cuff injuries and 6 months it still hurts when doing overhead actions. It clicks doing certain movements and even pops. What’s weird is sometimes when I throw it hurts when I do these tests but sometimes these tests are easy
I pass everything, thank goodness. I think I’m just freaking myself out. I had a little grinding noise during the bench press and a tiny tiny bit of pain. I probably just need to rest it for a little bit.
@joe , lucky man. Incline Dumbbell pressing on Friday, failed the last rep just before lockout due to muscle fatigue, the weight was heading for my face so pressed it away from my face but because of the strange angle it put lots of force through my shoulder and there was a tearing sound. Been to a&e all they did was X-ray. Got a phone call today no breaks but they think it’s a muscular tear, and are referring me to PT. I’m almost certain it’s rotator cuff as can’t even lift my arm in any direction, and any attempt to do so is fackin’ painful. I’ll be lucky if I make anywhere near a full recovery from this. Anyway, take it easy on the bench press, know more than a few who’ve done themselves in on that including shoulder injuries and pec tears. After this I’m just wondering if lifting heavy is worth it. It’s a good buzz pushing big numbers and there’s a sense of achievement but if badly injured can say goodbye to a decent physique and it sucks not being able to train. If I make a recovery think just gonna stick to circuit type training, will still achieve a good physique and far less chance of tears/rips etc. Got a bit carried away for a UA-cam comment, shows how gutted I am 😂.
@@mikef781 I’m so sorry, brother. I wish you a speedy recovery. That sounds so rough. Especially when you put in so much time. I’ve seen people recover from these sorts of things, so I believe you can get through it, too.
@joe, thanks for the nice words. All the best, brother 👍
Thank you! My shoulder has had some sustained soreness for awhile now, I was pretty sure it wasn't torn but it has been very slow to get better so I just wanted to make sure. I'm 3/3 on your tests so I should be in the clear :)
is your shoulder still sore?
My symptoms are exactly as you describe. I’ve tried to get a MRI scan but they said I have to have a ultra sound scan first. Will this scan show up a tear ?
Thanks Your Demonstration helped me see I don't u have a torn rotator cuff!👍✋
Yeah, but then what is causing the pain and popping ?
Working securiry at a concert, I had to go over a barricade but fell and my left shoulder met the concrete. I certainly did not pass the thumb down at a 45 degree angle nor could I move my hand away from my back. I'm not looking forward to doctor's appt on Friday. It probably doesn't help I'm on a lot of Prednisone for my p-ANCA.
of these 3 tests i only had a problem with the second one, my shoulder didnt just give in but it hurt a lot raising my arm up and ofcourse hurt a lot bringing it back down
thanq so much Dr only because of you I come to know that m having this injury
Thank you for your help. I had reached over to my side (while sitting) to pick a very light object up off the ground about 3 months ago and experienced some kind of injury to my shoulder - it was very strange. It has since been causing some pain with certain movements, and the pain seems to be at the top aspect of joint where the rotator cuff is - but none of these tests elicited any pain! Thanks for your help.
I think passed all three tests. So now I’m not sure at all why I have soreness and weakness in my shoulder. I felt a little pop doing some pushups and it’s been sore for weeks. I’m 43 getting old lol.
Hello, as I tried out the 2nd test, I felt pain and could not got to shoulder level before I had to bring the arm down. Moments late, I tried it again and hot it up and felt a click.
how are you doing now bro, pls tell me
@@MESSI-op2ez wbu bro tell me plz
I can move my arm in all direction very well but with mascular type pain in my shoulder and upper arm above elbow. Is it a rotator cuff tear? Should I go for an MRI?
Thank you. Sounds like it. However I know there are exercises to improve it.
Hello, I only had slight pain with the first exercise. What do you suggest?
same here , any update on what it was?
Salamat. The first sign proved I tore my left rotator cuff. 😢
Hi my shoulder has been bothering me for a while now went to the doctor they did x-rays nothing was torn no bruise but I still have pain he said he seen arthritis in the shoulder gave me a shot that help a lot but when go into cold places it hurt bad and I still can't sleep on my arm
First one hurt like hell, second one my arm dropped so fast and the third one i couldn’t even do.
I had no feeling of pain or weakness or loss of function but rather just soreness. What could that be?
Lots of comments here and I just want to add this disclaimer in case it isn't obvious:
PLEASE SEE A DOCTOR IF YOU AREN'T SURE OR IF YOUR PAIN PERSISTS. IF YOUR PAIN IS SUDDEN AND SHARP PLEASE SEE A DOCTOR.

Thanks you for the tests. I can do test1 and Test 2 and no pain whatsoever but do have pain on test 3. There is pain I’m my shoulder all day and elbow. I think it’s from golfing😢
Raising it laterally is very difficult. I passed the last test only and I'm so worried now. :(
what happened ?
I swung a softball bat as card as a good at my work softball day and instantly felt sharp pain, but then I swung 10 more times as hard as I could
What does it mean if I had a slight pain for the first one and second one??
I was able to follow your steps without much pain. Say about a 3. However, with my thumb down and raising the left arm laterally, the pain shoots up to an 8 instantly. Not sure if I tore something. It also hurts to jab during sparring sessions. My shoulders have never been injured before and it's upsetting.
hi how you doing? i hurt my shoulder elbowing the pad yesterday and things like making my bed and putting my hair up are incredibly painful and difficult for me, my arm doesn’t drop down like he said but it’s about an 8 whenever i lift my arm up to level with my neck.
@@isabellatouray4633 not a good sign. Before you start stretching your shoulder, make sure that nothing is torn nor ruptured. Make an appointment with your doctor and get an MRI. Stretching a tear will make it worse. Sorry you are going through this. It sucks.
Great video easy to understand
Shame, this helps confirm it.
Not much of a surprise given repetitive motion injuries were common at my past job, but ~4 months into my current, I more or less fully recovered without more than a slight pain sleeping on that arm.
And then I tripped hard at a medium/high jogging pace and caught myself on my *good arm* Guess where I was actually the most hurt, from falling into a shallow staircase and spike bush?
My former bad shoulder that was totally not involved nor had to hold my weight! Felt like it slammed into my shoulder joint and I couldn't lift it for half an hour and had weakness for a couple days.
It's been like 8 months since and I'm still not recovered to where I was before that nasty trip. I'm obviously feeling better now, but I still have to mind my shoulder or I'll lose blood flow to it or typically it'll just hurt like someone hit me with a bat instead 😕
I'm 23 in a couple weeks. Here's to hoping I can recover fully without another missed stair in the dark. Cause I'm a package delivery driver and it's getting dark on shift again.
I have stubbing pain in the shoulder as well as radiating pain into my forearm. It keeps me awake at night.
Doc says it's my neck. A bulging disc.
Are you better now?
I have all these problems,I had a accident on 22april22,it's 2.5 months,still I have the same issues as highlighted. What can I do heal my left shoulder. Please advice.
