So I broke my leg a few months ago. I had fallen over something my kid left in a bad place. My shoulder was injured as well and I thought it would just heal. I don’t know why I didn’t even bring up my shoulder when getting checked out, but I thought it was just sore. However, it has been several months and I cannot take my arm back or up beyond like a 45° angle out or up. I am assuming something is torn? Would they even do anything about that or is this just something I get to deal with? For a former gymnast, I lost my grace somewhere.

BB, frozen shoulder is very painful. The treatment I had was physical therapy.
Sympathize, with you.

If it IS frozen shoulder (which maybe it is not, so you should get it checked out anyway), it can take 6 months-1 1/2 years (or more) to heal.
I had frozen shoulder, VERY painful, and my chiropractor gave me physio to help get me through it. I had it for about 9 months, so longer than my pregnancies!!!! 
Then one day it just stopped hurting and I had all functionality back.

Oh boy. I was thinking a tear, and had not even thought of that. A friend of mine had that a few years ago and I remember her episode lasted for like a year. Ugh.

Deena I too am about as Graceland as a baby giraffe and was a gymnast as a kid.
I had a fall years ago where the ground crumbled beneath me and down I went and slammed my elbow into a rock. For 6 months I was sure I tore my rotator cuff and broke something in my elbow. My Rheumatologist sent me to PT with ultrasound massage stretching and exercises I got full range of motion and strength back except pushing over my head. I had a large nerve impingement. I was sure I was going to need surgery. I didn't. Its fine now still 10 years on.
