Has anybody had a strained rotator cuff?

Question: So basically, I play volleyball and I hurt my shoulder going up for a hit around may. I went to see a doctor, and he categorized it as a strained rotator cuff. So I had to miss two weeks, but I didn't obey him and played through the season. Eventually, the school season ended and my shoulder was still in pain but I continued doing the therapy excersices he gave me, and after about a month break, I rejoined my club team, and have been practicing for 3 weeks and after the rehab and the rest, my arm felt great and was stronger than ever, but last week after practice I started feeling some soreness in the same area as before. Now, I am not too concerned because the pain is very slight and nowhere close to the level that I played on in may and june, but I am beginning to worry that this could come back, and am thinking of seeing the doctor again. Any suggestions??

I tore a rotator cuff muscle last winter. I did a lot of research on it and here are some links:

It is hard for me to admit that I have limitations. I can look at something I want to do, and think that if I just try hard enough I can do it.. but if we push too hard, something gives out. so we have to recognize our limitations and work within them.

If I were you, I'd go back to the doctor,,, or go to a sports doctor,, and have them check it again.

Go see the doctor. You may be reactivating your old injury. You may also have bursitis forming in your shoulder.
