What to do about a Rotator Cuff injury?

What to do about a Rotator Cuff injury?In February I somehow hurt my rotator cuff and was unable to operate my arm without some degree of pain for the whole month. I used the time to rest and try and let the area heal on its own. After a while I realized there was no more pain in my day to day activities other than slight pain when raising my arm all the way. I tried to start weight exercises again roughly 3 weeks ago but found there to be pain still while lifting weights. The pain lingers the whole day after and hurts really bad. So far due to my confusion on what to do and my resting period as I have lost a significant amount of muscle, and gained few pounds, and I fear soon i'll lose all the progress I've made away from being skinny-fat in the last year. I'd greatly appreciate if someone could help me answer these few questions. 1) What exercises can I use to rehabilitate the area, and what precautions do I need to take in this? 2) What exercises can I still do without hurting my rotator cuff more? 3) How long will it take for me to be fully recovered and able to do exercises such as bench presses without any pain? I am 18, male, 155 lbs, 5'11. submitted by /u/NephLovesSocks [link] [comments]
