Ep 16 Rotator Cuff Impingement vs Rotaotor Cuff Tears 

thank you, very useful content

Well said learned a lot about the differences between impingement and a tear

If one has a 2/3 infraspinatus tear, won't that also cause impingement pain as well as tear pain.

Hi, can you have both (tare and impingement)?

Thank you this actually really helped me out

I slipped and fell (onto the car door ) and ortho thinks is bruising, so I am doing PT, the only thing it hurts is when I move out of the sideways sleeping position and the numbing below the elbow!!

Hey Dr! Thank you for this video. I think it’s the most well explained differentiating the two diagnosis. I’m 99% I have an impingement. I’m 37 male and fairly active with my work. Is it actually possible to fix this through physical therapy? I don’t want to start dumping money into that if surgery is the ultimate answer. Thanks again, much appreciated!

Shoulder Jt is so tricky...very helpful, thank you!

I am not sure what I have, but it’s a long achey feeling that seems to last for about 10 seconds if I torque the shoulder. This can happen if I externally rotate shoulder . Also have some sharp quick pain around tricep to shoulder that is very sore as well. What’s strange if i bend arm at elbow forming 90 deg and externally rotate, this is when I feel the radiating pain. If I keep my arm straight it’s much better. Planning to see specialist in a week but curious what you think it is.

I am 18 and I got shoulder pain from doing 30 handstand push ups every morning. Should be just impingement, right?

Sir from where we download your notes???

I had a Ct arthrogram. It showed a superior labral tear. The problem is, one surgeon agrees another surgeon said no, i don’t but I have impingement. Don’t know who to believe 🤷‍♀️

Sir you said if a massive rotator cuff tear is occur so patient will feel less pain or discomfort.how?? Because if patient have massive tear so patient should have more pain or more discomfort

How long could impingement last I have it for 6 mos. I do have full range of motion since I had it. Four months of weakness and now I got strength but clicking still occurs

just returned from an MRI. Thanks for the information. My arm aches constantly. My hands ache as well. Sometimes I can't even hold a pan comfortably.

😭 mine is a tear. I can't even lift it. I have to hold it close to me when I get up. The pain is unreal

do rotator cuff tear effects arm nerves ?

Where’s the show notes !?

Thank god i got an impingement

Totally useless as a patient
