You’re so wonderful! So much good information! You know your stuff!
i've had pain in my shoulder and neck and have gone to multiple doctors, physiotherapists, have done multiple rounds of Xray and ultrasound and everytime they told me nothing was wrong. Finally after 8 years I convinced a doctor to write an MRI test and still they told me nothing was wrong. Even though I had described my symptoms in detail, no doctor was able to help me. Being frustrated with the medical system in Canada, I got a family friend who is a surgeon in another country to look at my MRI and what do you know, I have a Labrum tear in my right shoulder which has gone unaddressed for many years and gotten progressively worse. Long story short, never trust radiologist reports and always get a second opinion.
can you describe what movements caused pain for you?
Same thing with me. For years. Finally got an mri. Was told they’d notify me. No one ever did. When I called after 10 days I was told there’s nothing they can do. Except call a surgeon. Both shoulders rotator cuff tear, one side completely detached. Chronic rotator cuff disease and a slew of other damage. Really pisses me off. I went for injections till Covid hit then I avoided hospitals & doctors until DH had massive heart attack in 2021. I just learned how to ignore the pain. Except at night when arms & hands go numb. Keeps me up. No desire to get involved with the medical industry anymore. No trust.
@@jatteam8615 I'm sorry to hear that, sadly the medical system doesn't do preventative care. They will let an injury be until it requires surgery and they tell you to deal with the pain with meds. None of the doctors even look at imaging and just read the report, I know how to read too I don't need the doctor to read it for me.what I need is a doctor who knows what they are talking about. My hands also go numb at night so I get your pain. I'm still trying to get help by going to physio but so far nothing helps.
Great presentation. Just found your channel and am now a new subscriber.
Thanks for the additional videos link
Hey Carrie, you are very welcome! Hope you found them useful!
Thank you
i tore my labrum 6 yrs ago surfing and after listening to this i must of tore my rotator cuff also because it was very painful for about 3 weeks then slowly over 2-3mths got better quickly so never did anything about it until i had a small slow speed car accident. now 5mths post accident i have neck/muscle pain that doesn't go away. shoulder specialist is not sure if its neck related or shoulder related, but he does recommend surgery. I have done physio with some ok results. just had a cortisone injection in shoulder to see if that helps release neck tension. 50yr old active male
Great explanation! Thank you.
Glad it was helpful LUCIA!
Excellent video explaining all the scenarios. It made me more informed on my injury. I have been to fysiotherapy for 4 months without bettering. Im about to see an orthopedic surgeon now. I never got any rest before starting to do exercises, so maybe it needed rest. And also the excercices may have been intended post-surgery.
My injury is non traumatic.
Great video
Thanks for sharing.

Glad it helped AMRUGER
I had a weight lifting accident 5 years ago. I heard a loud pop while doing shoulder shrugs. I’ve been in pain for 5 years. There’s only been two weeks during that whole time I felt relief. A doctor ran some tests on me today and concluded that I tore my labrum. I felt so much joy just knowing that it can be fixed
So how are you going to get it fixed? Surgery?
Just found out I may have a labrum tear from another youtube video. I sublux my shoulder monthly....this has been happening for over a decade, old rugby injury that i never had seen to because i would play through full games with the injury. Drs say im fine because i have a "normal" range of motion. Cant wait to demand an MRI as Ive never had one.
My shoulder gets stuck in that exact position that you described. I’ve never heard anyone explain what’s happening to me the exact way that you did. That information alone genuinely makes me feel much more at ease that I know what’s wrong with me now so thank you!
Great steezy, education is always helpful.
Thank you! I just left the orthopedic surgeon 's office. You did a MUCH better job explaining! I have a SLAP tear he said
Glad it was helpful, education on what you are experiencing is so important. !
Did you end up getting surgery?
Same here. I just left my Ortho and I have a SLAP tear! Doc gave me about four minutes of his precious time and I got 1000x the info from this video.
Hello this was so helpful for me to understand my labrum tear and im a massage therapist..lol I've been dealing with discomfort since Feb '22 stop working May'22 for about month and a half not working. Return back to work doing 6hrs a wk with pt twice a week. Well end up having surgery june '23 ...still out on recovery. Doing better but i feel like my shoulder wants to keep going forward and my sleep last night was horrible. Anything i need to do differently?
Whew! This is exactly what I needed. I can back down the pain, with heat and Ice, but only for 4 to 5 days. After that, it seems like I have to start all over again.

@@epmanualphysicaltherapy I had a labrum tear while doing shoulder press and my report reads like this anterio-inferior labrum tear with stripping of periosteum, diminutive anterosuperior labrum. What does this mean?, Can you tell me how serious this means? Can I do weight lifting again ?.
@@jack-fc8oqthat is very close to my injury, I had bankart repair surgery to my labrum (arthroscopic) a week ago. Will provide an update later if that would help
Hej, I got my results from the MRI last week and it happens that I have rotatorcuff partial tears and labrum tear. The diagnos I had befor this, was impingment syndrom. Anyways, thanks to the algorythm I found your long video about the rotatorcuff tear and in that very moment my healing began just by doing that simple excercise with a little pillow on the side OMG, after almost five weeks with that movement alone I am beginning to gain mobility and pain reduction. In two weeks I have ultrasound, but I suppose they will be able to see I am already healing. OF COURSE, it takes time, patience and discipline. I give you my admiration and respekt for helping people absolutely free of charge ❤❤🙏🙏
hey so did you get the ultrasound yet? and did it start healing
I’ve had shoulder pain the last 9 years due to me pro wrestling, but never got it checked because I didn’t have the time off from work, as well as having young kids at home. I could never afford to get the time out, long story short and 1 mri later it’s a Laboral tear, I search that and find this video that shows all my symptoms and explains it all great. Thanks for the info, it’s going to be a long road ahead I think sadly lol

Tore my shoulder in little league baseball at 11/12 yrs old and kept injuring my shoulder yearly until my mid 20s and then it got stronger and was more sore than my other shoulder when using both but not many other issues. Hit 39 and had a big pop in the shoulder and regained some range of motion but then at 40 had a bigger pop the hurt my collar bone and shoulder was screwed and can't lift coffee cup most days. Finally went to doctor at 41 and I've got osteoarthritis and a torn labrum. Years of compensating with the other side caused imbalance and wore other side out faster too I'm sure
Good morning. Do you offer videos on shoulder arthritis? I enjoy your informative videos
Hello Lupe,

Hi Doc, I have a posterior torn labrum. Would this still help?
Hello, I had a minor motorcycle incident and fell on my shoulder, it felt like I broke my collarbone. After x-rays, I was told that nothing was broken and it was a shoulder contusion, so I iced it and took anti-inflamatories, with limited movement the pain became more tolerable and subsided for the most part after roughly 4 days, as long as I didn't over do it or move quickly. Last night I applied a ice pack, but noticed movement in the collarbone / shoulder area, I became very worried that something was not connected, so today I limiting my movements. After watching your videos I am still unclear that it will heal itself and what I should be doing moving forward. I am 62 yr. old and desperately want to get back to normal. Not knowing what is really going on in my RT shoulder, labrum tear, or any other shoulder tears is tough and of coarse how long to recover. Any words of advice would be very welcome, thanks... Todd

I have pain in the neck l. ?. Can this cause pain up the neck?
I’m 9 months post fall that caused a slap tear with no improvement even after 2 injections . I’m allergic to NSADS so I’m not getting any pain relief except heat & ice packs . The issue I’m now having is hip pain (bursa) from sleeping on the same side every night.
I’ve had both shoulders injured for over 2 years. If I can give some good advice, try just letting your body sleep how it wants dont avoid sleeping on the arm. You can’t avoid it sometimes and I made mine worse by staying stiff all night. But our tears may be different
I had the same exact stucking and popping things going on my shoulder but i really dont know how to fix them without surgery can u please help for exercises or any physical therapy advice for me ?

Hello I have just been told I have a labarum tear in my right shoulder and my doctor is saying to try and do 2 months physio before considering operation do you think this is a good approach?
My doctor also suggested the same. How you doing now?
so, I have a nondisplaced tear of the posterosuperior labrum, bursal surface fraying of the conjoined tendon footprint without discrete tear, and low-grade partial tear of the proximal long head bicep tendon involving the anchor and intra-articular portion...i have been in so much pain and I'm a commercial diver. The VA and the company's doctor looked at Xray and initially said I only had a strain to the shoulder until the MRI was preformed.... what in your professional opinion can I do for this or will I ever be able to get back to work I had this by pulling a rope. Surgery or physical therapy?
Hey Frederic, we are so sorry to hear that you are having to deal with that labrum and tendon tear, that is no fun 😞 We see this tends to happen to people doing physically active work. We also see these people get back to feeling normal and strong again once they fix the underlying root problem.
These tears usually happen because of the underlying root problem putting bad stresses through the tendons, ligaments and labrum. We have a program specifically designed to correct the root problem, it is called the Rotator Cuff Tear Recovery Program. This program can also help your situation, learn more about it here:

My shoulders don't round forward, I walk with my hands at my side. The orthopedic surgeon told me it's from repetitive over head exercises?
Do you know or can give me good contact to do therapy for my issue here in Houston?
Hey Fredric! It can be challenging to find therapists who follow similar methods. You might find it helpful to visit the website of the American Academy of Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapists (AAOMPT).
They have a "Find a Fellow" search feature that can assist you in locating physical therapists who have advanced training and specialization in manual therapy techniques similar to those practiced by Dr. David.
Here is the link to their search tool:

What we would recommend though is to schedule a virtual consultation with us! By opting for a Virtual Consultation, you'll have the opportunity to have a one-on-one conversation with our specialist, where they can delve into the details of your condition and provide you with tailored guidance and coaching.
This personalized approach ensures that you receive the individualized support and direction you need to make informed decisions about your health.

What is a posterior chondrolabral separation
Hey Erin! Great question! This sort of diagnosis is similar to a labral tear. In a normal hip joint, your labrum that encompasses the leg bone also attaches to the cartilage in the hip socket. Hope this helps!
Dull achy pain? Mine pain is about a 10+ and just progressing as i await my MRI results from a fall last year. My surgeons have been slowly working their way through my arm. Bicep tendon tear at the insertion point first, then my tfcc tendon, and now my shoulder. I am pretty sure my labrum is torn as i cannot move my arm backwards or rotate it towards the ground. If i do i get an insane amount of pain in that region.
I feel for you. 😢 I'm dealing with a busted shoulder too. Waiting on the MRI but the doctor said it's probably a torn labrum. Same shoulder was dislocated years ago and it feels like it's trying to jump out again!
@@bipolarbear7325 good luck with the torn labrum. I'm waiting on a 3rd opinion with the probability of suing my previous surgeon for delayment of treatment. Went to PT twice after stopping due to pain. She had me continue and pain still worsened. She told me to go to PT on prescription PAIN medication! I kept telling her how much pain I was in and she would not do surgery telling me that I had a "frozen" shoulder even though my only limitation was due to pain. My doctor and physical therapist both said I do not have a frozen shoulder. She refused surgery but then when my 3rd opinion got my paperwork it said surgery on my chart. She was trying to cover up her bullshit and I have everything documented. I see this new surgeon next week. Hoping I can get this surgery so I can get my life back. I cannot work until my shoulder is fixed and at this point I'm really hoping I don't have to have a whole shoulder replacement since my socket has been grinding this whole time with noticeable swelling that reaches out all the way to my sternum now.
Getting an MRI is not easy with insurance companies these days. So you can go years w/o knowing b/c of insurance.
Hey Todd, we totally understand! It's not easy getting these things done through insurance companies.

Mine started in my bicept
Got the same problem bicep pain
MRI shows suspicious for labrum tear
Hard to make a decision on surgery
Did you get surgery on yours?
@@oscarcontreras7355 mine is starting to heal now tens unit physical therapy slowly but surely . It's been since last October when the pain started
What % of these require surgery?
That skeleton hears you very seriously 😅
Mate you just read my mind, this shoulder tare has been driving nuts for years. And yes steroid injections did nothing but make it worse. Its a long road... 5 years so far
I just want to exactly what's going on with me......🤦
If u are athletes u probably don’t have muscles problem so how is that even recovery plan ? makes no anatomical sense.
most depressing video
Can I tear this by sleeping on my shoulder? I’m in dire pain and think I slept on it for so long I did something to it. I actually use my should and arm as a pillow as I sleep on my stomach. But I’m in dire pain for the last 3 months.
Hey Tim, we are so sorry to hear about your intense shoulder pain. Although sleeping in uncomfortable positions does not help the issue, the root underlying cause of it pertains to a muscle imbalance.
Offloading your shoulder properly, and then working on your muscle weaknesses will give you the best chances at healing it and improving your well being. Just in case you need it, we have a playlist with all of our content on shoulder labrum problems. Check it out down below:

@@epmanualphysicaltherapy Ty so much I will watch later. It’s killing me. Did it last yr to the other arm and shoulder and it finally went away.
I torn my labrum on new years and been in pain since 🥲non stop aching cracking & popping . Drs say physical therapy will not help does that mean I may need surgery ?
My doctor told be that pt can’t fix the shoulder completely but it could get the job done if your not doing any intense physical activities. I just decided to go for surgery because I’m young and I’d like to not worry about my shoulder every time I play basketball or ski. The only downside is the 6 month recovery time, but this could be much different from your case.
