About a yr ago I slipped backwards on ice and landed directly on my right forearm near the elbow. Heard several "pops" like cracking your back sound right in the shoulder area. Zero pain other than very slight soreness the next day.
Since then my shoulder has never felt 100% normal. Its hard to reach across like washing my left arm pit with right hand or reaching back behind myself. The area around the tip and front of my shoulder has now become very tender and now I catch myself avoiding reaching objects with my right hand.
I've tried several YouTube clips on stretching exercise etc but hasn't really worked.
Fast forward to last night and sitting on the can one of the cats decided to get into a houseplant on the bathroom window sill. I picked up a roll of t-paper and threw it at the cat and immediately felt a "catch" followed by an audible "pop" and then pain.
I now have a doctors appt for the 24th of this month. Was wondering if this sounds like a rotator cuff injury? Or if anyone has experienced one? Most likely will they x-ray t first? thanks
