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.
