My Doctor Thinks I Did Something To My Rotator Cuff?

I’m only 14 and I LOVE LOVE LOVE softball. It’s important to me, I’m the 3rd baseman, but I think I out threw my arm because we had practice every single day and I threw fast from 3rd to first over and over again. Anyway, I kept playing on it and it was sore, but now It hurts to throw and it swells. I’m really hoping I didn’t rip the rotator cuff, is it possible to strain it, or maybe I strained a different muscle? It hurts around my collar bone on my right side, and the bottom of my right shoulder into the top of my armpitt. I’ve been taking aleve for a few days, and resting it for a week. I missed 3 games, and I want to get better SOON! Should I just keep resting it, or making it stronger and flexible by stretching. Please answer if you know what you’re talking about or have expirienced it, because I don’t want to mess it up any further.
school nurse thought I strained a muscle, Doc thought I messed up rotator cuff, neither was positive.

Ibuprofen While Ttc? Have Rotator Cuff Tendonitis?

I apologize for posting this again, but I cannot see it in the questions…
______________________________________…
I have rotator cuff tendonitis and the only thing that seems to help is ibuprofen. I’ve taken tylenol, aleve, muscle relaxers, etc. I know that ibuprofen is a no-no during pregnancy. My husband and I are TTC our first baby this month and of course, my shoulder is absolutely killing me. I’ve been taking ibuprofen the last few days to try and calm the inflammation down. I should ovulate this week. Should I stop taking the ibuprofen? Can you suggest any alternatives that are safe? I’ve done physical therapy, heat, ice, icy hot, etc.

How Long Does It Take For A Rotator Cuff Injury To Heal?

My dad works as a roofing supervisor and a few weeks ago, he “fell” down on his right arm, causing it a lot of pain.
He saw the DR earlier this week and was told that it was a torn rotator cuff. Now Dad has to do exercises and take Aleve twice a day.
How long will the rotator cuff on his right arm heal? He doesn’t need surgery or anything but if it doesn’t stop hurting in a week, the DR will have to give him a shot of medicine in the right arm.

Could It Be An Injury Of My Rotator Cuff?

OK… I hurt my shoulder golfing like last July. I have been having pain since but all my doctors told me it was referred pain from some other stomach issues. I was using biofreeze and taking a lot of tylenol, advil, aleve and nothing worked. So, i went to an orthopedic and he sent me to physical therapy…which didn’t help. I go back to him in 2 weeks and he said if physical therapy doesn’t help.. to get an MRI. So, I think I am going to. But.. I can put my right arm out to the side and its fine but then I start to bring it up and I can bring it all the way up but about 3/4 it hurts really bad. So… I can’t really put my arm straight up. I am supposed to start golf next week (i live in kansas city… can’t play from november to april), but I don’t want to get worse. I play golf like kids on select soccer teams play soccer. I practice 3 nights a week and play on the weekends, sometimes out of town.
If it is my rotator cuff, I know an MRI will show it. But how do you treat it?
Thanks

Help for shoulder pain

The shoulder is your body ’s most mobile joint and can move in several directions. Dislocationis very traumatic shoulder common sports injuries in a wide range of sports.
