Discuss with MD: An evaluation will be needed which may include an MRI or ultrasound. Rehab with a physical therapist or occupational therapist is usually ordered unless the rotator cuff injury requires surgery as the first options. Typically requires some pain medications during the initial therapies but not always.

Medication.: If it's just inflammed, medication and physical therapy may be all you need. If it's torn, then yopu may require surgery.
