A member asked:
What happen if a torn rotator cuff does not heal back right
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Pain, weakness: If you have a tear, you may lose some motion and strength. Also you may have some pain especially with overhead activities and external rotation of the shoulder. Obviously, if it is your nondominant arm a mild decrease in motion or strength will probably not prevent you from performing routine activities.

Good Question: There are many factors to consider before considering surgery. Most patients that choose surgery do so because of persistent pain and weakness that are resistant to other treatments. Once you decide on surgery you should know that the results and techniques vary widely so consider getting a second or third opinion. Learn more: http://theshouldercenter.Com/rotator-cuff-tear.Htm.
