Does shoulder subluxation guarantee the tear of rotator cuff, ligaments, tendons,etc?
A few days ago I was benching and I believe subluxation(partial dislocation) occured on my shoulder. Would the subluxation guarantee damage or are there some cases with no critical rotator cuff and important ligament/tendon/tissue damage? And any idea why my back/shoulder blade is weak/heavy too? Perhaps a posterior dislocation? Btw I've already been to the Ortho and took a x-ray.

pitching shoulder injury?
I've played baseball and pitched my entire life but the last 2 months I have been having abnormal shoulder pain. I'm used to being sore but this time my arm feels fine (except about 3-5 days after throwing) but when i go to warm up the first ball I lob not even 10ft hurts my should inside. It's strictly the throwing motion that is causing the pain. Its not a sore arm because it'll be the first ball i thrown and still hurts. Any one with experience think they can give me insight as to what could be causing this? Slight chronic tear of rotator cuff possibly?
