My shoulder hurts when....
I raise my arm behind me, like when I try to pull my pants up. When the elbow is behind the plane of my body and I'm trying to pull up, it just gives out. It shoots pain down my left arm, down the rear delt and triceps.
It literally hurts so bad that I think perhaps something has been torn. I don't know that something has, but it sure feels like it. It doesn't hurt when I do rowing motions in a horizontal plane though.
Any idea what is wrong, oh rehab experts? [ahem.... uh, BILL?]

Well until Bill comes along JP a few questions.
-Does it hurt if you were reaching for something up high in a cabinet (grabbing for a can of soup)
-Was there anything leading up to this (lack of mobility in raising movement, stiffness or pain at night, swelling) or did it come out of nowhere?
-Do you perform a lot of repetitive overhead movements?
Off the bat to me it sounds like shoulder tendonitis or impingement syndrome.
In short the pain could be caused due to swelling or bursitis of the bursa. A tear of the rotator cuff could be possible as well being the level of pain you are describing. Of course because of that level of pain you may want to get a MRI,
Right off the bat I would...
-Ice and Rest.
-Avoid doing any overhead movements or backward reaching movements that would irritate your injury.
-If it starts to heel well on its on then eventually you should start to incorporate rehab movements and stretches. Bill has that covered in spades.

Leigh,
Thanks for taking a stab at it. It's definitely not a typical impingement. I've had three surgeries on that shoulder already, but all over 10 years ago. My GH head is is very rotated, scap is very unstable.
Overhead movements are generally off limits to me. External rotation is nill. I can reach up above my head, but I don't ever do weighted overhead exercises.
Both my shoulders are a mess, and always have been, but this pain is new, which is why it bothers me.

JP, I haven't commented because I was waiting for Bill ... it sounds like you might need to make a trek up to see him! Given your past history, it is nearly impossible for me to even guess over the internet ... got a PT or osteopath there that you trust?

Well, that tells you that it is likely from some inflammation ... are you taking your fishoil? And it might be good to figure out what is inflammed ...
