Along with a photo on Instagram.com showing himself with his left arm in a blue sling, Lopez writes, "Well... Tore my rotator cuff. Terribly inconvenient... Waiting to see if I need surgery. Got a cortisone shot & IV with dilaudid and it still hurts. Buzzin like a chainsaw though.. Not being able to train is gonna make me crazy! Too hyper, need to burn it off..."
