Rotator Cuff problems or Impingement Syndrome , anyone?

I've treated a lot  of both. Impingement syndrome is easy to treat-rotator cuff tears can be treated with therapy if small, or surgically repaired.

I also have both issues with my shoulders. As a matter of fact the shoulder is one of the first extreme pains I got before being diagnosed. Now I just get the pain if I do too much with it. I believe it is and was from lyme because as I got treatment it got better.

Both of my shoulders are sore. I need physical therapy.

It used to be in just my right shoulder. I've been carrying a 16 lb. laptop 10 blocks everyday for the past seven years to a job that may lay me off.

It started with a pop a crunch and now pain.

I switched arms and began carrying the machine on my left shoulder. Now, guess what happened? A pop a crunch and pain in my left shoulder.

Between my neck popping and hurting as well as the strain the laptop puts on my head/neck and shoulders, as well as plantar fascitiis,. two trigger fingers, an arthritic toe and Mortons Neuroma, I don't know what to think of the year that just went by.

Better yet-use a rolling suitcase/laptop holder

I have had these shoulder problems - couldn't lift my right arm very much for a while - lifting and turning the arm was virtually impossible - I didn't get any treatment but after about 6 weeks it got much better - I could hear a lot of crunching etc; at the time - I thought it was permanent - I don't know if it is the lyme or not [my gut tells me it is}
