A member asked:
Can you tear your rotator cuff from slamming your shoulder into the wall? i did now i can't lift my arm up without pain

Perhaps: You may have bruised shoulder and pain prevents full motion. Rotator cuff injury should be suspected if pain or limited motion persists after bruise heals (2 weeks or so.) See your primary care for evaluation and referral if necessary. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
