Been having off and on shoulder problems for a couple of years.
It's my right shoulder (I'm left-handed). Pain comes and goes at unpredictable times, lasts 3 or 4 days, then goes away.
At my initial visit to the doctor, he said I still had good shoulder strength and couldn't tell anything really at a first examination (my shoulder wasn't hurting at the time).
I decided to go because my shoulder was hurting like this about 2 or 3 weeks ago. It's almost what I'd imagine bone-on-bone feels like. So I have to really modify my movements with my right arm. Even if I have to reach up to grab my mouse, or reach over in my car to adjust the radio, I get sharp pain.
So anyway, The doctor (not The Doctor) is sending me to get an MRI. I've never had one before, and I'm a bit nervous. I'm fidgety, so I'm trying to mentally prepare myself for laying still for 45 minutes or longer.
The doctor thinks that there might be something actually torn. He said that a tear can indeed present symptoms like I described.
