Question 1

is it possible that a torn rotator cuff cause other injuries within the shoulder such as: separated shoulder(ac joint)?

Accepted Answer

Possibly related: Questioner asks if rotator cuff ; acromialclavicular (ac) joint injuries are related. These are two separate injuries of contiguous tissues. Significant mechanical trauma can cause injury to both structures, but not common. Ac joint separation observed grossly as superior projection of distal clavicle relative to acromion ; palpation of ac joint is painful. Mri necessary to visualize rotator tear.

Question 6

pain on upper left back side of shoulder what causes it?

Accepted Answer

Many possibilities: It could be sore muscles or any part of the component so we call it musculoskeletal pain. If you touch it and it is sore with normal skin and no swelling it is probably sore muscle. You could use pain medication if very sore but massage with liniment may be the best option. You most likely strain the muscle at some point or you are tense.
