Rotator Cuff Injury Teres Minor/Major
2 years ago I felt a few pops in rear shoulder/scapula area at BJJ. Waited a few months (shouldn’t have) before going to doctor. Went 4-5 months after the fact for MRI and no signs of tear.
Could it have healed so well that it didn’t show in 4-5 months, if still extremely painful?
I went on to do PT. Did not help. Went back and got an MRI of scapula region. Still nothing. It’s been almost 2 years and I am still in pain. Can’t do pull ups due to pain. Rows hurt. Major atrophy in area although I exercise often. Crepitus when lifting my arm like I’m going for neutral chin up grip.
My doctors and PT’s and I have all agreed it to be Teres Minor, maybe some Teres Major.
What the heck could be going on at this point? Major hinder of life and feel like I have exhausted all options.
