This seems as good a place to ask this as any...

What's up with my shoulder? It hurts like the dickens.

I can't raise my left arm past should height when I try to raise it straight out to the side. But when i raise it going forwards, it hurts, but I can raise it all the way. Also, when trying to do a windmill motion from front to back, I can't go past shoulder height. It just won't go any further. Right side is all fine. This started last night after... and don't laugh... my wife threw a pair of socks down the hall for me to put in the laundry basket and I reached up to catch them. Felt a sharp pain about midway between my shoulder and my elbow and now there's a knot there. What the heck did I do?

This DOES seem to give my youngest something to do... He walked up this morning, said hey dad, can you do this?... and started doing windmills and then died laughing. Long story short, he can't roll his tongue and my other two (as well as me) like to ask him if he can do this *rolls tongue*. Makes him mad. Wife can't do it either. We don't tease her, though.

Your age?
The knot is likely you tore your proximal biceps. Biceps has 2 tendons around shoulder. 1 tendon goes into your shoulder attaches at socket. The other attaches at coracoid (bone below collarbone)

Mine pops when I rotate it backwards and a lot during shoulder day. It’s from sleeping on that side with my arm up. I do it from time to time because it’s comfortable but when I stop sleeping that way the issue goes away.

My husband and I were boating and approaching dock and he grabbed the post at the dock to tie up and tore his rotator cuff. He had lots of pain and couldn’t drive home and unable to pick up his arm. Had nerve block and surgery 3 months later. Slept in recliner until he was able to sleep in bed upright with lots of pillows. Arm feels fine. Get good orthopedic surgeon.
