shoulder!!
It hurts my shoulder bad if I try to do anything that I have to extend my arm out to do. And it will just feel like it is ripping apart when I do something like military press in the wight room, does this sound like a rotator cuff or something else? And I play football on a semi-pro team, and I wanted to know if I could get through the season using one of the shoulder braces.

Matt,Since you play for a Semi-pro Football, you should have access to a Team Physician or Certified Athletic Trainer...make use of their knowledge and get evaluated ASAP. You need to get a proper diagnosis before you can try a shoulder brace, as there are different braces for different diagnosis. In general, a shoulder brace is only useful for a subluxation or dislocation. See a Sportsmedicine Specialist, like a MD, PT, or ATC, and follow their advice. Let us know what they diagnose, and recommend.
