Yes - very painfully. Couldn’t even pull car seatbelt from behind and friend had to help me wriggle into swimsuit on holiday last year. I struggled to pull pants and trousers up!
I’d say it took a year to get better, but movement behind is still a bit limited compared to other arm.
Used painkillers and did some exercises found online.
I didn’t seek professional help, which I avoid unless desperate.

Almost a year ago I was bumped into in the swimming pool.
Apparently I have a rotator cuff injury. I've been attending physio for nearly 2 months and doing exercises as advised
Physio tells me strength in arm has improved but it's still as painful
If I reach behind me it's worse.

Just wondering if anyone has any experience of this
I haven't been to GP as I'm already having physio and have pain relief for other joint problems
