So I have a torn rotator cuff. Not exactly sure how it happened......seems to have just happened gradually over time. I’ve had what I thought was minor shoulder issues for a few years and chiropractic adjustments would help tremendously up until late fall. It finally was to the point where I went and saw my primary care physician and they orders an MRI. It’s a full thickness tear and I’ve saw an orthopedic. It wasn’t to the point were I couldn’t raise my arms but definitely affected my workouts, probably do to the inclination.
So long story short, about 3 weeks ago I had a stem cell injection into the rear to hopefully repair it. I haven’t lifted since around thanksgiving and cannot until I have my 6wk follow up with the orthopedic on 3/1. I’m starting to notice some nice changes with the pain as time goes on, but I also know it takes a good 4-6 months for the stem cell to do its thing. The ortho said I’ll be able to start lifting again after our follow up, all though I’m sure it will be limited
So my question is for anyone that has dealt with this in the past......what has helped you? And what kind of lifts did you have to avoid?
