Hey guys, I have been hit with a banged up shoulder after playing soccer about a couple of weeks ago. Basically from what I have read and based on the symptoms which have transpired, I think I might have a tear on my Rotator Cuff. This prevents me from doing any sort of physical activity with the shoulders involved i.e. lifting weights, bball ( if i lift my right arm at a straight lateral movement it kinda hurts)... Anyway, the only way to be sure is to take a MRI scan I suppose. But, that would be costly and if there's a need for surgery to fix the tear, lagi worse...
However, I have a NS medical next tuesday. If I declare to the doctor that my shoulder is pretty messed up would he give me a letter to get a scan at the hospital and most importantly would I be able to get it claim by MINDEF. Or should I wait it out and declare it during my time in NS.
Any advice on how I should go about the situation would be greatly appreciated :)
P.S. I have to visit the polyclinic cause I am pretty sure they will refer me to the hospital
