Fast forward a week later and I can use my arm with no issues unless I raise it straight out in front or to the side at should height or higher. Its been a week and everyday it has gotten better so I tried to shoot my bow lastnight. I couldn't even raise it up to a shooting position without pain.( Right-handed)
Doing some searches on the net it sounds like I have a Rotator cuff injury. The symptoms all fit - Pain and weakness in my shoulder when reaching overhead (like putting on clothes or washing my hair) loss of range of motion and a general inclination not keep my shoulder inactive.
I plan on seeing my family Dr to get checked out.
For the guys who have had shoulder problems what was your recovery time frame? Up until this injury I shot at least 5 days a week plus weight training 2 days on and 1 day off rotation and cardio with my pack. I was able to work out my back and biceps the night before without any problems and have been out on nightly jogs but anytime I lift my left arm above shoulder level I get pain.
Is my bow season in jeopardy? I only hunt with a bow nowadays and have no interest in hunting with my rifle. But if things don't get better soon it looks like I will be dusting off the gun safe and heading to the local range.

Hey,
I just to be a tennis player, i toar my rotator cuff and took a long time to recover, but due to the gMe, it was kind of extreme...
There are lots of exercises for therapy, streching, etc... If u dont have a very serious injury, u should be fine doing these exercises right away, if not, u should take a long period of rest... To not getting this worst...
MY ADVISE, DONT GET SURGERY!!! Most injuries of that type, are treatable it takes more time but its worth it!
