I'm not sure why I used my full name to finish that opening post, haha. I did have a labral tear and they did repair it. The post op plan was clear, and I followed it to a TEE until they discharged me and I wavered some what by lifting too much too soon. There is no retear, the ultrasound which pinpointed my bursitis showed that. My goal now is to just balance things out again and get my mechanics working correctly.

The main problem is as described from that physio assessment I had, "Shoulder impingement due to muscle imbalance around the shoulder and scapula with weakness of the posterior cuff muscles and tightness of the pectorals and medial rotators of the shoulder." which is causing some pain and discomfort which comes and goes.

As well, when training certain muscle groups- I don't get as much of a "pump" in the left (shoulder in question), or for better terms it doesn't feel like much blood is flowing. It's a very difficult one to explain.

I appreciate the short term goal and am willing to be patient and put Rugby to the back of my mind for now.
