Tenderness: Sensitivity to Touch
Tenderness is a symptom that has puzzled people for centuries. It is different from pain and can be described as a heightened sensitivity to touch. While it is often dismissed as insignificant, prolonged tenderness could indicate a minor tear. In such cases, the rotator cuff is not severely damaged and movement is still possible, but it is advisable to refrain from engaging in any physical activities for a period of time. Additionally, modifying your diet to facilitate a faster recovery can also be beneficial.
Shakiness in the Entire Arm
When your arm muscles become weaker, they lose their ability to perform properly. This is often caused by a weakening of a group of fibers in the muscles. As a result, when you try to contract or use your shoulder muscles, you may experience shakiness. Initially, this may not seem like a serious issue, but it can potentially worsen if left untreated. If the shakiness starts to interfere with your daily life, it is important to seek medical attention. Resting the affected arm for a few weeks and engaging in specific exercises can help alleviate this condition.
