Torn Ligament

Sadly, i had sprained my shoulders 2 weeks back, and it really is painful till today. 

It happened 3 weeks ago, and i quickly went to A&E, fearing that i might have fractured my shoulder. After getting it examined and an X-Ray done, the specialist reassured me that it should most probably be a muscle tear or ligament tear, and i should rest for 6-8weeks. 

Well, i did rest for the next 5 days... After, i tried doing some push-ups and dips, which i felt perfectly fine. So when my friend asked me out for a game of basketball on Saturday, i readily agreed...

All was well, and just when we were nearing the final ball for the game, i was jumping to grab a rebound, when my right palm collided with my friend's palm midair, and it sent a jolt of pain straight through my right shoulder. I fell to the ground immediately and grabbing the shoulder in pain. 

As there weren't enough players, i didn't want the game to end, so i gamely played on with my left hand until the game was over. 

Now, after 2 weeks, it still hurts occasionally. I haven't been doing push ups or dips at all. Chin Ups is a complete no. Basically, i feel that my upper limb is getting weaker by the day because i could not do anything strenous! To add on, i would be working everyday except for 1 off day a week, and the time i have to exercise is really limited. 

Hope that my shoulder will recover soon!!! I haven't been to the doctor after my second injury, but i hope it would not be anything serious.
