    Re: Rugby shoulder injury

    do you have any tenderness over your spine? could possibly be a cervical or thoracic spine injury.

    Do you have any deformation or pain to touch or pressure over your AC joint (the tip of your shoulder)? Could be an AC separation - but the ortho should have seen this. It could also be impingement of the shoulder secondary to traumatic injury.

    does it radiate down your arm? any numbness?

    What positions or activities hurt the most?

    Re: Rugby shoulder injury

    No tenderness over the spine at all, although my neck does click whenever i rotate it in either direction. More so when it gets towards the end of my range of movement.

    The shoulder isn't painful to the touch at all, and doesn't radiate down the arm. The pain does seem to occur on the edge of my pectoral sometimes though, and across my collarbone.

    It still hurts to sleep on it, press ups are very painful, taking my shirt off over my head is probably the worst though, it takes me minutes to take a shirt off sometimes.

    Re: Rugby shoulder injury

    What exactly did your ortho and/or PT tell you? did you have an X-ray/Wikipedia reference-linkMRI or any other imaging studies?

    does your pectoralis hurt towards the inner edge or outer towards your arm?

    What about tenderness over your sternum or sternoclavicular joint (google it to see where it is)?

    Is there any pain when you look all the way up/down/to the left or right or lean your head to the left or right?
