Had some shoulder pain first practice six weeks ago. Took some Aleve, let it rest, had more pain this weekend. Went to the doctor today, torn rotater cuff, and a cortisone shot. I am a little depressed. :mad:

I tore my RC a few years back and the pain never goes away. I've been slowly bulking up the weights on my shoulder workout to the point where I can handle the pain, but sometimes it gets bad and I have to back off. It's not a stopper, it just slows your progress. You can do excersizes to help reconstruct the area but it's just something you learn to live with.
