I couple of weeks ago I fell on my shoulder. It healed perfectly, and I was able to play all sports, but I was tackled in football and landed on my shoulder. After the initial pain was gone, I literally could not throw a ball or hit a serve in tennis. It is now 6 weeks later, and I can throw a ball but only at about 50%.

If I apply any more strength behind my throw, I feel a popping sensation, resulting in incredible pain. The initial pain is gone in a few minutes, and the residual pain lasts about ten minutes. What's going on here?

I'm concerned this is a tear in my rotator cuff but I truly have no idea. Whatever the diagnosis, what's my near future look like?

have you consult to a doctor? maybe your bones position in other location. It normal but may due to a permanent position.
