Crazy how you can tear something without injury or knowing.

About 8 years ago I tore my right rotator cuff, felt it happen lifting weights over my head.

Terribly painful for quite a while and by far the most painful part was the steroid shot the Dr. gave me. It hurt like hell for weeks. He wanted to operate but after that shot I said no thanks. He told me I would never be able to raise my arm straight up again, but I have proven him wrong.

Took a couple years but with gradually increasing personal therapy on and adding more weight it is as good as it ever was.
