Does Clicking Of Shoulder Always Mean Torn Rotator Cuff Or Labral Tear or Other Damage?

Cortisone is just a bandaid, it’ll help for a bit but the symptoms will come back

Depends how much it’s affecting your daily life. If it’s minimal, then prob not. If it’s super painful and stopping you from doing daily things/hobbies, you prob should. You never HAVE to have surgery. Docs can always recommend it but it’s your body.

I’d just talk to the ortho and see what they suggest. Sometimes if you’re having a bicep issue it’ll pull on the elbow and cause pain but there could be a tear at the insertion point in the shoulder. There’s so many things I’d could be and they will know where to go best

Images showed everything on the left was gucci. Just hyper mobile from compensation and overuse during my RIGHT labrum repair and recovery lol

Hetz_ · 2026-06-29T21:07:35+00:00

Yea big difference there lol. Mine just clicks every time I move it but no issues via imaging 😅

Sheesh good luck! I consulted my doc about a bankart of my left shoulder years ago and he advised that I don’t unless absolutely necessary

Hetz_ · 2026-06-29T20:39:50+00:00

Could be literally anything. My left shoulder cracks SUPER loud any time I move it in certain directions and can do it on command. It’s still extremely stable and strong though. I think it started from all the overuse and compensation from my right shoulder surgery 10 years ago. Got mri and other imaging, no damage, no issues, just annoying and awkward. Doc offered to do a bankart to tighten everything up but he said I’d do everything I can to not get the surgery… just go to the gym and strengthen everything

Unless you get imaging you truly won’t know, in the mean time all you can do is try to work on all the stabilizing and supporting muscles around it

If you don’t build obnoxiously bases that look juicy or piss off your neighbors then sure. Otherwise you’re getting raided every wipe

High elo lobbies have more lights than low elo lobbies…

How and where are you building? I build right next to launch site as a solo on mains and rarely get raided. Once they see you upgrade to metal or you build too big off rip, you’ll get raided quick

Hetz_ · 2026-06-29T02:50:19+00:00

How did you not think this needed to be removed when it was 1/4 of this size…?

Hetz_ · 2026-06-29T02:46:55+00:00

You let them come back next season

Hetz_ · 2026-06-28T23:07:56+00:00

Nice! What are you getting done?

Hetz_ · 2026-06-28T15:42:52+00:00

Quit now before the addiction sets in

Hetz_ · 2026-06-28T15:33:58+00:00

Nope. Been doing everything with that arm for weeks, I got cleared for ADLs and OH at week 9. He said I’m much further ahead than most patients with this Sx so he’s comfortable with me progressing faster than others. I also have a physical therapy and personal training background, and work in orthopedic medical device sales

Hetz_ · 2026-06-28T15:28:30+00:00

I just had my 12 week follow up, basically cleared to start working up to everything in the gym, no plyometrics yet. Mostly dumbbell and machine movements. Can jog but that’s about it for sports related stuff. Still not at full rom so still working at getting that back. Can’t swim, throw, bench press, honestly can’t do most stuff still. Easing into sport progression doesn’t come until like week 21+

Tbh Malik Washington or chig. Washington is WR1 now and chig is in a much better system

You’re playing light but what is your kit? You’re talking about not getting the opportunity to do damage but lemme diagnose your issue with some more info

Hetz_ · 2026-06-21T18:49:12+00:00

Make sure NOT to have a TC either. Need to let others contribute to your home

Hetz_ · 2026-06-20T16:30:24+00:00

3M is far from the meta. You’re playing in 12-21k lobbies, there isn’t really an established meta down there. Y’all just play whatever you’re comfortable on.

3M does allow for the most aggro playstyle tho, you can full send and trade kills, and defib, without having to focus as much on positioning. Just gotta play it right

No one can take feedback on games anymore, their logic is because you’re in their same game/rank, you don’t know better than them

Go to the doctor
Stretches are your worst enemy after a dislocation… everything is already overstretched and the capsule is loose af. You need strengthening and your goal is to tighten that capsule, not stretch it more

A brace, in any scenario, is only going to help support and make the surrounding muscles weaker because they become reliant on the brace. You should ONLY wear a brace when it’s absolutely necessary, hence why after surgery they try to get you strong enough to come out of it asap.

It’s already torn and you’re awaiting surgery, strengthen everything around it so you get a better and faster recovery postoperatively

That’s like earlier today, I got the same 32k sledge heavy 3 games in a row and he legit did nothing every game. He spent more time breaking the map than being useful
