I’ll start: I tried to move a bookshelf while drunk about 6 years ago and tore a tendon in my shoulder pretty damn good. It still bothers me sometimes if I move it wrong or sleep on it wrong.

    Damn. Ouch. Had a rotator cuff injury. Took a couple days before it actually set in, but when it did, it sucked. Had to sleep with my arm hanging off the bed in a certain position, hurt if I rasied my arm past a certain point. Couldn’t put my arm behind me at all. Dr basically said I could take 6 months and try to work through it with some exercises or get surgery and take 6 months beyond that for recovery. Chose the former, surgery is no guarantee, and it’s up to about 98% after a year or so. Only once in a while reaching behind me do I notice a little loss of range of motion, but that’s about it.
