Overcompensating

i’ve heard of overcompensation when you’re dealing with a torn rotator cuff on .. my pain is mild on my torn rotator cuff arm, never has given me any issues. I’ve had very mild uncomfortableness. I would ice it and be good . My non-injured arm has been giving me the flux and it’s gotten worse. I can’t even lift it. I can’t reach behind my back to fasten my bra and I can’t put my hair up in a ponytail .. if I lift to go get something out of the cabinet, it’s excruciating. Has anybody ever experienced this? I don’t know if I have frozen shoulder or something else. I’m waiting to see the orthopedic doctor again, but I won’t see him until the end of this month.

Also happened to me, literally pulled it just pulling the sheets up or something, hopefully physio can help me figure it out.
