A member asked:
Partial thickness rotator cuff tear, i had no pain ever, just dullness/weakness. 1 and 1/2 yrs later my symptoms are the same, what should i do?

Rehab: The large majority of partial rotator cuff tears in patients your age are treated nonoperatively with rest and rehab/PT. That being said, some partial tears are 20%, and some are 80%. These are treated differently. It's also possible that your symptoms are not coming from the rotator cuff. Consider labral tear or nerve issue. Time to see your orthopedic doctor again to discuss additional options.
