I was playing baseball on my high school team one day and I pulled my rotator cuff muscle while swinging at bat. I think it was because the night before I was playing softball with my family at a party, and you know how you have to swing hard to get a heavy softball. So I think when I was playing baseball the next day, I was still in the "swing hard" mood, and I swung too hard and pull my muscle.
It was extremely painful... the most pain I've ever had. I couldn't move my right leg at all, because the rotator cuff muscle moves about the hip, and it moves when your leg moves. I was transported off the field in a gator cart, and then into the car to the ER. I had to sit there in a wheelchair for like two hours before I was attended to. I had to have X-Rays, and that was hard because they had to move my leg in different positions for different shots. Talk about pain!
I was on crutches for two weeks, and I couldn't go up stairs, so I had to live on the other side of the house on the first floor. After a week, I was off the crutches but it took another week to heal completely.
Worst thing about this injury was that it ruined my sports carrer... I was never the same. I couldn't swing with the same power and contact as I had before. It was different. My muscle was confining me. It also affected me on the soccer field... my kicking leg. I lost the touch.
Oh well.
