Re: [QUAD-L] About torn roter cuff and shoulder pain

[Jkrocks]

I have had shoulder pain for several years even before my injury.  I'm a prime candidate for rotator cuff surgery also so I have to be real careful.  My doctor uses a lot of commonsense with my cares.  He wants me to be strong enough to do what I need to do every day but not to push my shoulders too hard because as you know if they go we are really in trouble.  When I was working out with some weights, my shoulders were continuously sore and it affected by driving so, I stopped lifting weights and now I do some range of motion but mainly I have my PCA's massage my shoulders either with their hands or my electric massager.  If I have nagging shoulder pain I will take some Alive for relief.   Jim
