Message: [QUOTE="Flutterby, post: 2176995, member: 1853"] Basically what Coxy said and you'd be surprised at how relatively painless a joint or cartilage tear or strain can actually be, so don't use that as a guide. My brother tore the AC in his shoulder and yeah it was a little sore and he went to doctor, physio etc and they couldn't find a tear and he was able to keep playing footy and cricket (fast bowler no less) with it not being really painful. It was only cause it didn't feel right and my dad was so insistent that he eventually got in to see one of the state's top shoulder surgeons who at first couldn't find the tear either because the outer casing around the joint hadn't torn. He needed a full re-con and was not able to move his should at all (not even to lift it to wash under his pits - ewww) for 6 months, then it was another several months of re-hab. But basically if he was going by the limited pain - would never have pushed it and found the tear. Anyway - hope it's nothing too serious Ning [/QUOTE]
