Just thought I would update this thread for anyone interested in how easy it is to damage your shoulders without knowing.....
I had an MRI finally on the fubarred shoulder that I thought was 90% healed as it was only occasionally causing pain ie after an hour swimming and 3 hour rides but still felt something was 'catching' in the joint and my left arm is definitely weaker.
Went to consultants today and was gutted to be shown that the rear most rotator cuff tendon was completely snapped, and the large one towards the front pretty much ripped over half way across and significant wear and tear to the rest of the smaller bits at the collar bone end of things.
Bugger, I'm now on the list for full attempt at repairing it all, gutted at possibly no driving for up to four months but even more so when he said probably no riding until next year 😯
My aim (with care of course) will be to prove his timescales wrong, at least there's always the turbo or maybe a Wattbike hire.
Interesting articles by a professional weight lifter who tore his rotator cuffs and had surgery and his road back to recovery...

I recommend the book Treat Your Own Rotator Cuff. Properly helped me out when I did mine.
A fridge borrowed it when he did his in and it helped him also.

You should see the email the guy at hotpoint got asking about their range of double chested friend freezers.
