Rotator cuff injuries can be annoying at times and can be severely painful. Most often, rotator cuff tears are not easily detected. It has been found out, during autopsies that seventy percent of 80 year olds have the tear. About thirty percent of those under 70 years of age also have the same rotator cuff injuries. As the age becomes older, the body becomes weaker and susceptible to injuries. One can do many abrupt movements. In the process of a great deal of movement, harm can be incurred.
But rotator tears are not just from old age! You can get them at any age.
Rotator cuff injuries may be caused by having a fall or perhaps a vehicular accident. Football players engage in an accident-prone game, thus, ending up, injuring their rotator cuffs. Playing golf, as cool as it seems to be can also cause such tear. Having a rotator cuff teat does not just happen when you have these accidents. In fact, I had a rotator cuff injury when a friend of mine just pulled me abruptly.
If a person can't hold their arm up over their head, or it hurts in that spot laying down in the bed, hears popping noises, or it feels like something is stuck, stiff, or anything close to this, it could be a rotator cuff tear. Also, a person can have pain all the way down to the elbow. So, do not ignore these signs. In my latest injury the only pain I had was felt when reaching across my body to the other side, or when putting my arm through a shirt sleeve. It wasn't a horrible pain, but if not taken care of, it would get worse like all rotator cuff injuries.
The best remedy for a tear is to start physical therapy right away. I have found that I can now do the exercises myself without going to a therapist. There is plenty of information available on different therapies that can be used.
The best advice I can give is to seek medical help. Various clinical tests like MRI, Arthrogram or diagnostic arthroscopy can help detect a rotator cuff injury. In the course of the physical exam, the doctor usually checks the shoulder by moving it. The doctor also checks on the range of motion to find out the extent of the injury whether it is pinched, just a minor tear or a complete tear.
Early detection of rotator cuff injury can facilitate early treatment. If not checked sooner, a rotator cuff injury may become serious. To treat serious and full cuff tears, surgery is vital and physical therapy follows.
