shoulder is messed up now

well i messed up my right shoulder up the other day. i saw that the dog was starting to shit in the house so i grabbed her collar and i heard kinda a snap/pop in it. the front is tender. but i can't hardly pick up anything with it and i can do my koho kaiten or zenpo kaiten. doc do you have any ideas as to whai it is. i am thinking it's my rotor cuff. i have global instability in both shoulders already. thank BigMD

Sounds like one of those totally random joint torques. I've seen people throw out their backs by putting on their socks. Since it took me so long to respond to this post I would say if you are still having symptoms to get a MRI. Shoulder problems fall into two simple catergories. Rotator cuff and everything else. Popping itself is not a bad thing unless it is followed by pain and limited motion. You can dislocate a shoulder temporarily with minor adverse effects. Let me know how you are doing.

i went to the orthopedic surgen and he said that since i have global instability there is hardly anyway i could have torn my rotor cuff. it was somthing on the lines i irritated a tendon or pulled something. 4 to 6 weeks he said it should be better.

Was the doctor right? Are you better?
