You won't know what you've got messed up until you have an MRI. I had very similar symptoms to what you have and in neither shoulder was it a torn Rotator Cuff.

I have/had a partially torn labrum in both shoulders. A cortisone shot in my left shoulder helped with the inflammation and I have had no more problems with it.

My right one still hurts from time to time, either the partially torn labrum or the now developed bone spurs and cortisone shots only help for about a week. Bee stings help much more. Honest injun.

Basically the Doc (Dugas at St Vincents) told me if I could take the pain, I didn't have to have surgery.


If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14
