Lilblondie thank you very much for the advice! This type of injuries are not easy to deal with. I'm staying off the pole and just got my first steroid injection yesterday to relieve the pain, although the Dr. was not happy about giving it to me because of the long term effects of tissue damage but he said it is an option to work my rehab exercises pain free and get full benefit from them in order to avoid surgery. So here I am with a sore shoulder and hoping that it gets better with more PT exercises. I'll see a second Dr. in a month to have another opinion. But if the only option I have is surgery, that's the way it will be. Thank you all for the great advices. I actually have been refocused on rotator cuff strengthening (working out both shoulders) to get better joint stability and will be testing my self in a month to see how much I have progressed. I'll keep everybody posted ;))

Hi!! I’m a physical therapist and I can help you. When you have this type of injuries the most important thing is to let it heal, regardless if it’s muscle, tendon or ligament injury. Pain means it’s still inflamed, therefore you can take som over the counter anti-inflamatories (eg. Advil) and start with stretching if it was a "pulled or stain muscle". Every person heals differently so you have to go slowly with it if you want to come back poling soon, but by trying early you are stressing the tissues again and not letting them heal. If it still bothers you after 2-3 weeks then consider visiting you Dr.
PS. after an acute injury ice it, chhronic pain heat helps. Good luck!!
