Subject: RE: Rotator Cuff Injury Did your Dr. bother telling you which of the 4 rotator cuff tendons you injured? I have torn both of my supraspinatus tendons (the most common). But they aren't very actively used by swimming. I was still swimming with both of them torn, one of them nearly completely torn, with no real issues. The recovery was a little sore at times, but would get better as I swam and warmed up. Then I completely tore my right one through and couldn't lift my arm. I was able to return to swimming about 3 months post-op even though they didn't think I would be able to...but it's not really stressed by swimming. So, if you have hurt your supraspinatus, probably not a problem with swimming. If it's another one, just tell me which one it is. |
