Pain all through out my trapezius when i lift my arms or pull/push things towards me, i believe its a full tear, can i stick it out or go to the docto?

You would know.: First, the surprising thing is that even minor injuries that keep you from lifting the shoulder develop into a frozen shoulder with permanent limitation of movement without careful attetion and physical therapy. Then, if a tear, you'd have a reason to say that... I presume a major injury that got your attention! So... basically gotta get it looked at.

Worth an evaluation: Should be evaluated to determine exact problem. Meanwhile use ice locally for 20min at a time, take ibuprofen for pain and avoid further injury. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!

Stick it out: probably. But better to be safe and check with your doc. Will probably heel without intervention.
