Hurting Bad

About 2 weeks ago I was lifting heavy bins at work & hurt my right shoulder. I thought I just twisted something and that it would go away. Fastforward to yesterday.

It still didn’t get better so I called the Dr. and they had me come in right away. After poking, prodding, pulling, twisting & streching my arm/shoulder he decides that it is a rotator cuff tear.

I now have a refferal to the same Orthopedic surgeon that fixed my thumb. I need to have an MRI done to find out if it is a full or partial tear. If it is a partial tear it may just heal on it’s own but, if it is a full tear I will need to have surgery.

In the mean time I have to keep my arm in a sling so I don’t tear it more and I can’t lift, push or pull anything heavy for two weeks with my right hand.

Only I get a sports type injury at work lol
