Torn Labrum

[Sixguns]

I saw the ortho yesterday and he thinks I have a small tear in the labrum. Going back for MRI in a week. Just as I was making some serious gains, this happens and now I am hoping for the best. He didnt say to stop lifting for the time being but I am kind of nervous to continue. The only thing that hurts to lift is chest which I havent done in over a month. Would it be wise to just lay off all together until Nov 9th when I will be getting the results or keep going but keeping it light?

i'm not much of a gambler so i'd wait the 3 weeks instead of risk further injury.

it's only 3 weeks.

Wow, that seriously sucks. What were your symptoms? Was it just the pain or any noises and stuff?

Its always had a popping sound and the pain set in 2 months ago after lifting chest. Now its just a dull burning as long as I dont do any type of pushing with that arm.

Don't stop lifting in general - just stop things that bother you (i.e. chest).

If it hurts, don't do it. Otherwise, go for it. It may be prudent to dial things back in general a little bit, but as long as it doesn't hurt, you should be okay.

I tore a labrum and could not even ride a bike.

Mine isnt too bad. It only hurts when I lift chest. My RoM is still the same just a burning and some weakness when pushing. Dr. doesnt think it is to bad since I can still move my arm with little pain.

He already said that it's only chest work that bothers him. Not everybody who has a labrum tear gets the same intensity of symptoms.

WTF you talking about. SociallyChallenged thinks somehow he is like the only knowledgable person here.

I had the same issue and was simply reporting how I wasn't as lucky as the OP. The OP even responded to my comment in kind yet both him and now YOU feel the need to troll on me.

BTW being H&F, a bit of alpha male should be expected anyway so I have no idea why you led with that statement.

Not sure how your form on the bench was prior to having your shoulder problems. I was having issues with mine for a while and changed my bench form up to match this:

Sage advice, I'd also recommend sticking to dumbbells as well. A bar can lock you into things.

Cant watch the video here at work but I will once I get home. I use dumbbells a lot. To be I seem to get a better workout with them. The day this happened I was working chest but I remember the pain kind of coming on after a set of chest flys.
