Excellent and thorough set of tests - helped me narrow down the issue - mine is mostly associated with dynamic motions - throwing, but also reaching down and forward.
Best straight forward video I've seen. So I've got a good question for ya. So torn/detached labrum repaird only one anchor. There was a small tear in the rotator cuff not large enough to repair and quite a bit of bursa that was cleaned out. 3 years later and it started just achy but now has gotten to the point of sharp pain when lifting my son to his car seat. Also when doing these test they are uncomfortable but I make them through it but now that my arm is down relaxed the deep sharp pain is through the roof. Sharp pain out side of arm and then a shooting pain down the back of my arm to my elbow. So just weird to me that I can get through these before the pain hits my like a freight train. Any ideas?
I would start with an X-ray just to check if there is any underlying issues such as arthritis depending on patients age.. ultrasound would be best choice
Hello doc, following is my mri report pls advive. Mild supraspinatus and infraspinatus insertional tendinosis with subtle bursal surface fraying. Mild to moderate subacromial bursal fluid and edema. The subacromial bursitis is disproportionate to tendon changes and correlation with inflammatory markers/recent subacromial bursal injection is recommend. 2) Nearfullthicknessbicepstendontearfromitsglenoidattachmentretractedinferiorto the bicipital groove by approximately 4.5 cm. 3) Moderate rotator interval scarring with mild inferior capsular thickening and edema mostly suggests adhesive capsulitis and needs clinical confirmation. As compared to previous MRI dated 18-01-2022, bursitis is a recent finding. The biceps tear is also an interval development. The changes of capsulitis are grossly unchanged.
My arm is numb in the front part of my shoulder and pain wen lifting anything from off the ground I have had trouble with my shoulder before but nothing like this
So this can be cervical? Because I just had a cervical spine fusion last august and replaced c5-7 and I have a cage. I just felt a sharp pain rolling the garbage can to the curb. Im gonna call my surgeon tomorrow
Questions: I had some arthritis and had to get a distal clavicle excision 11/08/2021 (4 months ago). It got better and then I started having a whole new painful problem starting last month: rotator cuff pain. It’s weak and painful (well, it was already weak before the surgery). All the tests I can do myself clearly shows it’s the rotator cuff. Is there any correlation between having distal clavicle excision surgery and injuring my rotator cuff? It wakes me up every night. It’s exhausting. Also, should I go see my ortho surgeon or should I just go to a PT instead? I’m not sure if a PT alone can figure out what I’ll need or what’s wrong or not. Thanks.
Heyy ..what if initial 15-30 degree abduction n flexion is not possible n over hand abduction is painful over the deltoid belly ...wht does it show case
I'm in UK. Had an x-ray first which showed degeneration. I then asked for a scan as I was in agony. Had an ultrasound scan which revealed a tear, bursitis and degeneration. I'm glad I didn't have to go through all this shown in the video, as the pain would have been totally unbearable.
This video is only a few months old and the first minute has more concise info than anything else you youtube

Solid info. Arm squeeze test has been a useful addition to my diagnostic tool kit.
Thanks Doug, I'm glad you found that useful and proud to have you onboard in IL.
What did he say about arm squeeze? Sounded like he first said nerve root and then said rotator cuff !

This is what I have been looking for. I have a better understanding of my shoulder issue now....apparently I have a rotator cuff tear
What if the patient waits to long to be seen and the shoulder locked up so they can’t perform the test?
I hope you got it taken care of.

Well explained..thank you so much sir..
Good vid from Chiropractic Colleague.
Dr Sean Lewis
Wow how did he learn all this stuff? This is good information.
It hurt just watching this - I got an appointment next week
Very clear and precise. Better than all the M.D,s and Physical therapists I checked out on the web.
Or in real life.
So is an MRI really ever necessary to diagnose a rotator cuff tear? When is an MRI necessary, since it seems these tests diagnose.
where surgery is proposed
I would start with an X-ray just to check if there is any underlying issues such as arthritis depending on patients age.. ultrasound would be best choice
What if the X-ray reading said, Mild irregularity is noted at the greater tuberosity, raising the possibility of underlying rotator cuff pathology.
Great stuff!
What if your arm won't go up past 45°?

WHat does the “hawk” test specifically show, if that was the only test that caused pain?

Well good news, I learned my rotator cuff is torn😵💫

Too hard to tell.. the pain isnt sharp enoigh.
Same bro
Love the content for informational …. As the lady in the video take the mask off sheesh !
So, she’s got a mask on, but you don’t. Cute.
Thanks for the video. Remake it and please Lose the mask. It’s distracting
There all quacks!
They're all quacks*...and no,that was a very helpful video.
What's it mean when I can't even lift my arm forward on my own without intense pain in the front of my shoulder. Also pain and tenderness in the back.
I'm getting a Handmaids Tale vibe from this video.
Super good informations!Tnks a lot! 😊

What treatment did you receive, and how are you now?
Thanks for the information
great details!
Normally I speed up videos, this one I had to slow down because this guy is going way too fast through this instruction.
All sounds pretty feasible but that mask confirms it’s likely part of the propaganda machine.
