3. Decreased Range of Motion
If you’re suffering from a labrum tear then you might find that your range of motion has been severely decreased. This is due to the fact that your scapula and humerus won’t be able to function as intended. The clavicle is a great bone, but it can’t do everything on its own. Tasks that involve overhead motions will be especially difficult if you have a labrum tear.
Some people try to “power through” the injury and perform tasks that require a full range of motion. This is a bad idea as it will only damage the labrum further and even wear out the strength of your bones as well. If your shoulder is refusing to perform a certain task then that’s likely because it’s not in a condition to do so. Listen to your body and head to a doctor rather than forcing it to comply.
