**Sanj[UK]** · 10th July 2011

Its been 5 weeks since ive injured it some how. How long does this take to heel? Im going to the docs on thursday as I need to get it sorted. My training has stalled and the weight is coming back on quicker then I can shit it out

9 MONTHS? did you do any exercise in the mean time or just rest it completely?

i took a couple of months really light

youd be surprised how much you use shoulders

back exercises, curls, friggin everything

id be driving and id feel a sharp pain whilst steering

its a bad injury

my serious advice would be to give it the time it needs to heal. any sign of soreness / tenderness and stop exercising immediately.

Did you have any physio or steroid injections?

Look on the bright side. At least you scored with you mate.

I had a rotator cuff injury and it took 1-2 years to heal fully (although all of my injuries seem to take long to heal!). I had scans and nothing was torn or broken but it's the most complex joint in the body. I left it altogether for a while, then started doing physio for it. Whether you think 9 months - 2 years is a long time, just remember if you don't give it enough time to heal, you could reinjure it worse.
