I was in Vegas last weekend to watch the UFC fights and on Monday night my left shoulder started to hurt a lot! By the end of the night I could not raise my left arm without some serious pain. Now I admit the wife and I had a great time at some clubs on Friday and Saturday after the fights but nothing crazy and we are at a loss at what caused the injury.
A week later I can use my arms with no issues unless I raise it straight out in front or to the side at should height or higher. Its been a week and everyday it has gotten better so I tried to shoot my bow tonight. I couldn't even raise it up to a shooting position without pain.( Right-handed)
Doing some searches on the net it sounds like I have a Rotator cuff injury. The symptoms all fit - Pain and weakness in my shoulder when reaching overhead (like putting on clothes or washing my hair) loss of range of motion and a general inclination not keep my shoulder inactive.
I plan on seeing my family Dr tommrow to get checked out.
For the guys who have had shoulder problems what was your recovery time frame? Up until this injury I shot at least 5 days a week plus weight training 2 days on and 1 day off rotation and cardio with my pack. I was able to work out my back and biceps last night without any problems and have been out on nightly jogs with no pack but anytime I lift my left arm above shoulder level I get pain.
Is my bow season in jeopardy?
