How are shoulder tears treated that don't respond to PT?
-
I think something is torn in my shoulder. I haven't had an MRI yet. Either way my physical therapist told me to stop my exercises because they were making my pain/ instability worse. So how do you treat an injury that isn't responding to PT? What is the recovery time? Do I need Cortisone shots? I have been using RICE and doing my PT until wednesday when I was told to stop. I think I am getting an MRI soon. I just need a time line of how long this stuff takes to heal. A rotator cuff tear is unlikely- he thinks its labral.

Surgery would be the next option the recovery time depends on everyone and what surgery how bad it was ect but probably 8 or 10 weeks then therapy but it can be longer. They may give you a injection but probably not.
Pony, if if it is labrum then you are going to have to do specific exercises that keep the humeral head in a position where it is not contacting the tear. I am sure that your therapist knows this. These movements are done below the level of the shoulder. There are successful rehabs without having surgery on professional athletes. These are done by altering the delivery style of the person so that the tear is not further stressed. This means that one has to strengthen and balance the muscles of the rotator cuff and shoulder. Get your scan and see what the findings are and then change the approach to the problem. If there is no other way around this then you are going to have to undergo surgical stabilization.
