Rotator Cuff



How do you help someone who does have pain but is addicted to pills?
She NEEDS some. she had surgery and a ripped rotator cuff (sp?) in her shoulder. But she has been taking way to many for along time to the point where she cant function in everyday life. So how do I help someone when I cant tell them to stop because they will be in pain?

Shoulder cyst? Extreme pain?
On the 27th I woke with extreme pain in my entire left shoulder, from my neck to almost my elbow. Any way I moved it or didn't move it the pain was excruciating. Upon getting X-rays at urgent care, I was sent away with prednisone and hydrocodone, being told it was ligaments and I'd be better in two days. These pills did nothing. Went to ER on 31st, being told the same thing. Had arm put in sling, and given steroids and pain pills, which still were ineffective. The 6th I went to an orthopedic doctor who told me I have a cyst on the back of my rotator cuff. Then learning all those pills and immobilization did nothing, as it wasn't muscle issues. I have an MRI on the 12th. I am wondering how common this is, to have a cyst there. In November I had a friend go through the exact situation, to find out his cyst is Leukemia. I typically need 4-5 hours of sleep a night, lately i've been needing 12-13 and feeling dizzy/nauseated for no reason I know of. I was given tramadol, along with a steroid dose pack and several others. I had a MRI yesterday with contrast dye. I am currently at the dr, waiting to find out the results.

Pain in my rotator cuff ? Help a baseball player please.?
Well season coming up soon. and i really want to play. however. i can't throw a baseball because my rotator cuff hurts. I'm an outfielder and i like to gun people out at bases. I think last year i threw my arm out and this is why my rotator cuff hurts. The pain seems to appear when, starting from my thighs. going toward my back and when my arm is about 170 degrees til 260 degrees. that's when it hurts. Think of it like this: when i throw my baseball. when i'm getting ready to go downwards and right before my releasing point. that's where my pain appears. I do not have any health insurance so i don't really wanna go see a doctor. Are there any exercises i can do to get rid of this pain? i try and do my arm band every day. but it doesn't seem to help =/

Rotator cuff cracking?
My rotator cuffs crack constantly at every little movement. When I lift my hand from under my desk to put them ontop, they crack, when I shoulder press, they go crazy. And they aren't little cracks, it's louder 3x louder than cracking your knuckles. Even when I lay on my side I can feel them grinding. It gives me minor to no discomfort though. I am a goalkeeper so I know I put a lot of wear and tear onto my shoulders but I am worried that they are getting worse, becuase the cracking is more frequent and getting louder, and I can't afford to have them go bad on me now. So I guess my question is...are they going to get worse or is this normal?
