Hoping nothing major

Hospitals are like lawyers, you don’t like them or want them, but when you do need them, your glad they are there.

I hope it’s nothing serious and just a trapped nerve o r something.

Amen to that

Luckily just a partial tear to tendon according to the doctor

So temporary split, anti inflammatories, pain killers and RICE ( rest, ice compression and elevation).

Break or fracture or sprain maybe, or...?

yeah, the physio will work quite well for the majority of shoulder issues and the steroid will help any underlying arthritis and/or tendonitis. good luck.

So even the guy who came up with RICE apparently thinks it’s not actually good advice these days:

Why icing a sprain doesn’t help, and could slow recovery

Ah, good news! At least nothing major!

I just did a month and a half of physical surgery on my shoulder , which only seemed to make things worse, seem like I probably need to go under the knife again.
