A member asked:

Help regarding my right shoulder.injured it in boxing hitting the heavy bag.mild pain after injury for 1 week then after just cracking when i rotateit?

Depends on treatment: The specific location of the injury depends on the mechanism. The time to recovery depends on how aggressive your treatment has been. A significant injury is not likely to be fully resolved in 1 week even with appropriate and aggressive therapy.
