Hi,
I was at PT yesterday for my shoulder (recent rotator cuff surgery) and on some of the things we are doing my shoulder blade gets caught or rubs/cracks over my back ribs. He is seeming to think me avoiding that catch and pain associated with it forced me to use my shoulder incorrectly thereby tearing the rotator cuff muscle (I am young and did not suffer an injury to tear the muscle the Dr. can't tell exactly why it tore).
So, my question to everyone: has anyone else had this sort of problem with their shoulder blade and ribs- most likely due to the rib rotation?
I have a left lumbar curve (25 degrees or so) and rib rotation in which I have a left rib hump on the back (the right ones stick out in the front). When I lay down flat on a table with my right arm hanging off the side and bring it backwards up to my side then hold my shoulder blade down and in place it pops and cracks and rubs over those ribs. To avoid that I roll my shoulder forward thereby popping my shoulder blade out of its normal position. If I force it to stay it rubs and then I have a hard and severly painful pinch in my shoulder.
The PT isn't sure what to do about it- I see the shoulder Dr. tomorrow and will ask about it and my shoulder problems maybe being related to my scoli but I was wondering if anyone else had experienced the same sort of problem.
Please let me know,
Thanks.
