How come I can't lower my arms from overhead position without big pain?

Question

I had shoulder surgery a year ago for cuff impingement and tears. Rehab went well, and luckily I have great range of motion.....but now I can't control either arm as I lower them from overhead, and it really hurts. Have any ideas?

Answer 1

Sometimes scar tissue that builds up after surgery can present problems such as you have described. I would recommend seeing your doctor for further evaluation of the situation to see what they think is going on.
