My PS has confirmed by pics and feedback I have torn my left capsule. I am a PT, and was heavy bench pressing at the time of injury. I have 700cc Saline overs. I am also 13 months post-op. This is the first time I've had any issue. Why would this happen? Also, I did nothing, and I mean nothing for 4 weeks, then had sex. 2 days after the symptoms all returned.
