Call your physician: Discussing this with your physician would be best. He/she will be able to determine if any further damage has been sustained and alter your treatment plan accordingly. Best of luck!

See doctor: At this time, i would want more info as to whether you have a tear or not. Activity modification is important as is therapy. If you have not had an MRI of your shoulder i would consider getting this to give you an idea of whether surgery is a consideration. Thank you.
