I was doing CPR on a patient, the table was very high and I was on my tip-toes pushing down from as high as I could. Within the first 10 compressions I felt a pop in my right shoulder that just about a year ago I had surgery on to repair the biceps tendon, rotator cuff, labral tear and bone spurs.

I guess my question is what is the likely hood of re injuring the labrum doing CPR. My doctor doesnt think it is possible.

Just looking for some opinions.

Thank You

    I originally injured my labrum and rotator cuff clapping my hands over my head (and no doctor believed me), so I honestly think anything is possible at this point! You know your body better than anyone. If you really feel like something is wrong I'd definitely ask to get some imaging done just to make sure everything is still alright. Especially if you're having any sort of pain, reduced range of motion, or instability.
